Day 2 Saturday, 7.50am

son Jeremy & grand daughter Rupia.
Morning devotion was the order of the day with words by
Aunty Bee Har in the Hubong church. We then had our
final practice session before leaving for Endau Town for
our breakfast. We had noodles for breakfast and took the
opportunity to celebrate Uncle Teh & Bro. Steven’s birthday
in the shop. We had a brief visit to the nearby fishery before
starting our first visitation in Endau.
At 11.00am, we arrived at Bro. Ko & Sis. Rozmita’s house
in Kg. Kemendol. Bro. Ko, a Chinese who was from Muar is
a fisherman. He was a Catholic and converted to Christian
after moving to Endau 25 years ago. Their eldest son, a
lorry driver married with a son, settle down in Johor Baru.
The daughter, Sis. Mei Ling has a daughter Rupia. Their
youngest son Jeremy is 12 yrs old. We were glad to meet up
with this family, whom we have met in Tanah Abang 4 years
ago. The Christian community in Kg. Kemendol headed by
Bro. Ko & Sis. Rozmita consisted of 5 families, and some of
the families were from Sabah or Sarawak. They are currently
worshipping at Kuala Endau church. According to Rev. Lieow,
there is already a plan to build a Chapel in Kg. Kemendol for
the growing needs of the Christian community here.
We worshiped the Lord together, had sharing and fellowship
with Bro. Ko’s family and the sisters & brothers here in the
Christmas celebration. We presented “Dikepak-Kepak” and
“Eloah itu Baik”, followed by testimonies from Bro. Ryan
and Sis. Schani. Bro. Ryan shared how he was afraid of the
night until he could not sleep. It was only after he became
a Christian that he is no longer afraid. Sis. Schani gave the
same testimony she had shared in Kg. Cheras. We ended
the session singing “Selamat Hari Natal” and presented our
Christmas gifts to the children.
We paid a visit to Bro. Udea & family who stay at a nearby
house, and prayed for the brother, Pak Ramli who was having
an injured right leg. He came to the church recently seeking
help for his infected right leg which had not healed for the
last 20 years. We also had a courtesy visit to the village
chief Pak Teron & family before coming back to Bro. Ko’s
house for lunch. Meanwhile, Ibu Mertji shared the gospel
through games with the children and the sisters. We prayed
that God’s continuous blessings be upon Bro. Ko’s family
and the Christian community here.
We left at 1.30pm and had a courtesy visit to the tyre shop
of Bro. Wong & Mdm. Loh. They are the Church leaders of

Kuala Endau church whom we have met during our last visit
4 years ago.
At 2.50pm, our 2nd visitation brought us to the new house
of Sis. Ramlah & husband Bro. Salleh at Kg. Labong. They
have 10 children, 5 sons & 5 daughters and many grand
children. When we last visited their family 4 years ago, they
were staying in a makeshift squatter house. Praise the
Lord that with the help from JEKOA & JAKEOA, they have
managed to seek the approval from the relevant government
agencies to provide these permanent houses for the family
since 2013. Many of her children’s families are staying in
this same housing estate. When one of her daughters was
demon possessed, she tried to seek help from the church
as well as the medium but to no avail. It was only after
committed her faith fully to the church that her daughter’s
health was restored. Some of her children would turn back
to their old ways, but Sis. Ramlah always encourage them to
seek our Lord Jesus. Praise the Lord for this family of faith.
May the Lord’s favour and blessings be upon them.
