Beginning of the journal [Ellie]

Safely arrived Taipei on Friday, July 17 at 9:30 pm. On the flight from Tokyo to Taipei, God gave me an opportunity to pray God's word. The guy sat next to me started the conversation with the nature of my trip. Then the answer of short term mission intrigued him for more questions related to religion and testimonies. God sometimes uses us at unexpected ways or moment. I was not aware that my cup was dried and numb due to recent encounters before my departure. On the flight I was not in the mood to begin a conversation, but God made the initiative to me.

As I set my mind to a action mode for the mission, the mission team have started a 72 hours continuous prayer. By spending most of my awaken hours in the prayer room made me realized that God understands me more than myself. My cup needs to be filled up before I pour out onto others. My heart needs to be restored before I can hear the needy.

In my past 3 days since I joined the team, the hours feels like days but overwhelmed. We have been in the prayer a lot (approx. 6 hours per day), and prepration in Word and in discussion. Tomorrow we will go to Tien-Liao for 3 days for the VBS ministry. May God bless the weather, our spiritual status and works.

Got to go to bed. Good night my friends.
