Sabaidee! I am Khamlae, married, and have a one-year-old daughter. On my own, it was not easy to leave my family but because God called me with a strong word to come to the Philippines. I said yes and obeyed God. Now, I am here in the Philippines and undergo training to be a Missionary.
The culture shock is real. I was struggling first with the language, food, and the differences of culture. I am an SBO President of Batch 32 and a Chapel Assistant. I am leading mostly my Filipino classmates, in which we have different characters and attitudes. I asked God what should I do. I need to respect and little by little adapt to the Filipino culture, the foods, the works, and the culture here in Mission Motivators. I enjoyed a lot in here in doing the mission works in some places here in the Philippines. I grabbed the opportunity to share the gospel on the bus and in the streets. I am happy doing it with the Lord and my Batchmate. I praised Him for this experience. My heart is crying out for Laos, China, and many unreached people groups that need Jesus Christ.
I am preparing myself for the next. One thing that I have now, I am grateful to God that He met my desires to know and experience the Holy Spirit. This is what I have been longing for so long in my life. Now, I am confident and ready to go for Christ!
Khamlae,
SBO President of Batch 32, SOM Samal
Praise God for your obedience Khamlae. May the fire that burning in your heart will continually grow as you allow Him to use you for His glory and honor. The nations are waiting to experience the tangible presence and power of God that He bestows in our lives. Shalom!
