Youhnited Stars were In Kuching!

Just came back from Kuching, Sarawak. Although I do not get plenty of sleep for 3 days (7th - 9th), but did not feel tired entirely but slightly bellow. Perhaps because there is blessed and happy to serve several churches there with the fire of the Holy Spirit, Praise and Worship, apart from planning to open Kuching Praise Comunity Center in the future. So, our total of 21 people - Pastor Perry, Bro. Henry J., Sis. Anne, Bro. Nelson, Sis. Fressela, Sis. Lisa, Sis. Suzila, Bro. Dennis, Sis. Ellyfehny, Sis. Pamela, Sis. Tatum, Sis. Abigail, Bro. Mark, Bro. Rayxe, Sis. Ivy MK, Bro. Roy, Sis. Jacq, Bro. Afon, Bro. Joshua, Sis. Florentina and me ...

I can say this is a fairly large group to do missions outside of KL across south china sea :). Although there among the participants of the mission are currently undergoing the university's final examination, but their determination to participate in this mission fiery, crazy! Attention! Attention! Who are these people? hahahaha....Yeah! Rite! I departed to Kuching from KLIA at 2.00pm on the 7th, While others have arrived there since 12:00 pm. What a quiet travel! Kesian! hehehe...

Precisely at 4 pm the plane landed at Kuching International Airport. Who probably will be picking me up? After Bro. Henry calms me, Eric is on the way for fetching me up... nasib baik...hehehe... actually they just finished on prayer walk in that city. :( I missed it! Yes, Eric finally arrived, along with Sis. Abot, Bro. Mark and Sis. Flo. After that, we went to accommodation provided by the Eric's team. Thank you bro! Susah-susah je ... hehehe ...
we will not forget your hospitality!... Your "kipas" yang menyejukkan kami hehehehe....We live in terrace house which is empty ... Nah! "NEW YOU KNOW!" hahaha ... actually it is more than enough for us to stay there, so grateful ... all men in the living room and girls in the room ... rules! Only allowed to use a shower room in 5 minutes! hehehe...

At Night around 8pm, (7th) we gathered at Bro. Eric's house along with some new friends. That night we enjoy the food and drink provided by Eric's, fellowship, message from Pastor Perry and proposal from Bro. Henry. We are laughing and joyful, because kenyang bah! hehehe...

After that we return to our Hot Tel, some ironing clothes, listening music, chat, shower and so on... as usual tidur lambat! ... right at 5 am (8th - Sunday), almost all of us woke up with a noisy alarm! But there are still snoring...who else...lol! After all ready, precisely at 6.30 am, we took time to pray and worship God intervened in our program throughout the day. We're really excited!

SIB Bau

Travel there for almost an hour. Along the way, we enjoy the greenery and natural flora, fresh air (we only imagine we in the van, inhalational the van's air aircond) :p. Initially we reached a junction in the left, thought we had arrived at the SIB Bau. No! We entered the wrong junction. Well, we continue the journey. Dennis still survive hehehe ... Nah! Finally we arrived at the SIB Bau! Pastor Charles is awaiting us. At first we just thought, hmmm ... This may be a common pastor.. but we're actually wrong. He was a funny and kind-hearted person ... amazing ... hahaha... Throughout the service there ... Fuh! how God works with exceptional ... Sis. Fressela led the congregation truly extraordinary ... dangdut! yo! As the service does not end. Sermon from Ps. Perry regarding changes to the main topic. However, Ps. Perry has a hidden talent for dancing dangdut! Yeah! Who would think ... hehehe ...So, after the service, we take photos together... having food and drinks...






One thing that touched our hearts is when Pastor Charles invites us to pray to the congregation there. We believe there a breakthrough will happen. This is hoped by pastor Charles changes will happen in this church in the near future.

You know what? It is 1 pm already, we must hurry back to town... but before that we must find Kolo Mee first ... compulsory! hehehe... ya at Siang Siang Corner... me with Kolo Mee+3 layers tea! Puas! Ohk! Owh!!... 2pm already... time off to SIB Praise Valley!

SIB Praise Valley

We supposed to be there around 2.30pm but, as Mr. Dennis has been diverted to other places, we lost a glance. That's Dennis! Finally arrived. Some young people are waiting for us and without wasting time we prepare for the event which will be conducted at 3 pm. Approximately 3 pm, Bro. Chiwi of Praise Valley's give words to welcome us and then taken over by Sis. Tatum, Sis. Ivy and Sis. Pamela led in praise and worship. Oops! The first song, I'm not sure what happened during the solo, my guitar's sound suddenly disappeared, I almost depressed and panic. But praise God, I'm playing with great Band-mates (Nelson, Joshua and Rayxe)... can close the "situation". How very important when using the method of "Jurus Tangga Nada (Jeffry Hermanto, 2009) hahahaha... After that run well, but on the song 'King of Majesty' sung... Fuh! Everyone jumped and gratefully not banging their heads on the ceiling. God really great!






After that, taken over by Ps. Perry with a robust, but as usual ... it is followed with the song "Black and White" or with soft language Hitam dan Putih and you knew what genre is. So, what happens after that? Right! Dangdut in da house! Ps. Perry invites young people come and pray for them and awesome, God worked with extraordinary ... such as not enough to praise God, the song titled "Aku Jatuh Cinta" filling the space with the pace of Sumazau. I can not imagine the situation at that time. Yes, great, everyone can dance Sumazau to God. As usual, after that, we enjoy the food and drinks provided by them. Laughter, fellowship, meet one another, meet old friends and take the photos together. Watch shows at 6 pm! we should soon be ready for the program at the church St. James, Quop starts at 7.30pm... rush! rush! rush!...

St. James, Quop

Yes, it does not have time to shower! We arrived there at about 7.50pm ... what a great place! Open Air! Stage with a fairly comfortable ... great! When all are ready, program began with opening of praise and worship from the host (mostly are youngsters), Wow! Great and energetic! Young people are enthusiastic in serving the Lord! After they sang 4 songs, the stage taken over by Youhtnited Stars! Yuuuhhhhuuu! The first performance is a Pantomime . Sooooo... cool guys!... macam biasa touching wei... Ivy did a good expressions there and Mark... and yes others too great! great! and great!. Nelson is Worship Leader at night that invites all people to jump and praise God with the spirit! Yes! We jumped higher and higher! We feel how our thirst for God touched that place ... What a great nite ever!... although Joshua (bassist) whispers to me "I want fast song! I want fast song!", he remains enthusiastic ... tired like mad!








Concert that night over. We have the opportunity to enter the church and we find out that the St. James church is among the oldest church in Kuching. Antiques and still in good condition! We are very impressed and have the opportunity to take pictures together, as usual, Florentino Rossi, busy with the Nikon D70s camera that almost 1 kilogram weight! Yeah rite! Jacquelin's style that errr .... hehehe ...

O.K., so, we are hungry! We got into the Van (Innova) and with full confidence to continue the journey .... Place to eat! So some, like that ... as usual, Dennis over to other places again .... we are turning back ... Yes ... only a few meters from the church, a very kind family willing to provide food and drinks for us ... and wahhhh .... a lots!!!! Blessed! Eating and drinking, oh ya! Pastor Charles was there ... hehehe ... however, Joshua has been breaking ice on it! Fun! He started with 'cool' tactics to punk'd Roy! pity Roy! Sorry Hahahaha ... It is about "Test-Your-Honesty-Being-Ignored-Later"...hahahahaha... I can't tell how it goes...So, to those who do not go to Kuching, this is our secret yeah!!!!..... BUT unfortunately, we are not simply satisfied to charge Roy but eventually Paramela Munangga Letchumi Balachandran also being 'punk'd' by Pastor Charles...hahahaha.... yeahhh!!!!...SO SWEET!!!!! hahahahaah...wait!! Bahahahahaha...

O.K. enough! We return to our Hot Tel, take all our things and stayed at Bro. Eric's Home. All mad over tired, but it's fun! So, our ministry ended here in Kuching ... tomorrow (9th) in the early morning, some friends who will return to Kuala Lumpur ...

In conclusion, God will use every Youthnited Stars for the glory of God to be a model to bring about change and impact on ministry and commence new service in Kuching ... and soon .. Miri and Kota Kinabalu ...

God Bless and Cheers!!!
