Took childcare leave to bring my children to visit MV Doulos at Harbourfront yesterday. They were of course thrilled that they were visiting a ship and that their daddy stayed on board for three weeks in 1991 and 1992.

In `1991, they were at Keelung, Taiwan and 1992, they were at Kaoshiong, Taiwan. I flew there to join the ship as interpreter for them, Eng-Chinese. I was much blessed on board. Making friends, serving God and reaching out to the people without the Lord. I was real faith journey for me. Each day, we will set off with a team which was going out to do ministry. It could be the street, a church or even a hospital. We started the day with worship and breakfast. And then meeting the team, and they will plan the ad hoc programme. Sometime, I just translate, once I share my testimony in front of taipei train station, or joined as a character in their skit. I got to know a good friend on board - Go Chin Zam, a burmese. We kept in touch after that and he and wife visit us when they were in Singapore. I was pleasantly surprised to meet him yesterday as he is now based in Yangoon. He put on, so am I. haha.

My experience was faith stretching and enriched my walk with God. I did what I would not be able to to do because God empowered me. I must say I missed those moments of ministry.

Oh! Doulos is greek for slave or servant. It is a priviledge to serve God and man.

I will write another time about him.

Anyway, back to my children. We bought books.. I am poorer by $80. Signed up for the tour and they love the brownie. They were of course amazed by the size of the cabin. It was so small! Zuriel told me it was a happy day for him. :-)
