Sea of Galilee

Jesus Walks on the Sea

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat

and go before Him to the other side,

while He sent the multitudes away.

And when He had sent the multitudes away,

He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray.

Now when evening came, He was alone there.

But the boat was now in the middle of the sea,

tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.



Now in the fourth watch of the night

Jesus went to them,

walking on the sea.

And when the disciples saw Him

walking on the sea,

they were troubled, saying,

"It is a ghost!"

And they cried out for fear.



But immediately Jesus spoke to them,

saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."



And Peter answered Him and said,

"Lord, if it is You,

command me to come to You on the water."



So He said, "Come."

And when Peter had come down

out of the boat,

he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

But when he saw that the wind was boisterous,

he was afraid;

and beginning to sink

he cried out, saying,

"Lord, save me!"



And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand

and caught him,

and said to him,

"O you of little faith,

why did you doubt?"

And when they got into the boat,

the wind ceased.



Then those who were in the boat

came and worshiped Him,

saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."

My first ever trip mission. A country not so far away, but still deeply love by our Father. The lovely land of Cambodia will always be on my prayer list. I feel their needs, I understand their pains and I can share with their sorrows. But that is all I can do. Like what we learnt from this trip that people need the Lord.

I decided to go for this mission trip because it concerns children. To me, children are the best people to preach the good news of Jesus. Not only they are more willing to listen, their minds are not exposed much to the world and they can be the next generation for Christ. The kids in Cambodia are no different from the kids in Singapore or any else where. They are all creations of God.

Only in Cambodia, where I can truly experience the true love of God. This few particular verses kept popping up in my mind. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinathians 13: 4 to 7
It is very true over there. You will be amazed how simple gestures of love can really make someones day. A simple handshake, a simple hug or just a smile and they will greatly appreciate it.

One incident that struck me most is when this girl was calling out for me. I did not know what she wanted at first but soon realized she wanted my water which is about three quater filled. I gave it to her and she finished the whole bottle within 10 seconds. I have never seen any 5 year old kid so thirsty for water. It broke my heart, I did not cry though. How I wish I could just give everyone of them a nice cool chilled bottled water each. But we have to trust God, for He is our all sufficient provider.

I will continue to pray for the people in Cambodia. To share with people the situation that they in but they are still so happy in the Lord. God bless the Cambodians.
