Youth Service at Gua Musang Presbyterian Church<br />

The abandoned church building in Teluk Untung Team praying for the church of Teluk Untung<br />

On the way leaving Gua Musang, the<br />

team paid a visit to Rossi’s family<br />

who stay near to the main road. Many<br />

mission teams from both local and<br />

overseas visited and stayed at their<br />

self-build house. Though many times<br />

men from other faith persuaded<br />

Rossi to leave Christianity, he chose<br />

to stand firm on his belief.<br />

Musang church.<br />

“It was upsetting to see the church<br />

building of Teluk Untung being<br />

abandoned due to threat and<br />

prohibition to use it by the<br />

authority. We can no longer hear<br />

praises in the sanctuary which was<br />

meant for the people to worship God<br />

freely.” Low Thean Fatt<br />

Rossi and family also<br />

face pressure from the<br />

government concerning<br />

entitlement of native land<br />

in which he is staying<br />

Before leaving, team prays and<br />

gives words of encouragement to<br />

the mothers and their children<br />

“This was my first time to go<br />

for missions. I was blessed<br />

and felt sad at the same time<br />

because of the persecution in<br />

Gua Musang. We need to<br />

bring this matter to others and<br />

pray for the church so that the<br />

church can be the light there.<br />

Because of this trip, I can<br />

understand Matthew 28:19<br />

and it’s an encouragement to<br />

me. Though I did not feel well<br />

during the travelling, and I<br />

had the thought of not coming<br />

for any trip any longer<br />

because of the rough ride. Yet,<br />

I reached home safely. If there<br />

is any opportunity, by God’s<br />

grace, I can still go for<br />

mission trips. Hallelujah.”<br />

Lee Moi Chu<br />

“This trip had some impact on all of us. We<br />

thought that the Orang Aslis’ life has improved up<br />

to this day, but our thought was proven wrong<br />

when we were in Gua Musang.” Lim Kim Yu
