Even before I was born again, I had dreams of serving the poor and broken as a missionary. But I knew I was never ready to give up the creature comforts that I’d gotten so used to. It was only when I started walking with the Lord in a more intimate way and knowing the matters that weighed on His heart that I knew I had to step out and be His hands and feet.

Before embarking on my first mission trip, I’d spoken to a few people at church about wishing to be exposed to the mission field. Through their own experience and wisdom, they dispensed practical tips and advice, of which I treasured much. Despite these, nothing beats first-hand experience.

When I’d found out in March 2009 that there were available slots in the team going to the Jerusalem Prayer Centre in Kandy, Sri Lanka, I was elated. The team was to travel in April and the purpose was to hold an English camp for the Sunday school kids at the Jerusalem Prayer Centre.
