Finally Penang

After 3 years, we saw our dream of starting our EFC Leadership training in Penang realized. It was a wet 25th March 2009 at Trinity Methodist Church that we started the first lesson of the next 3 years commitment.

Despite the rain, we had 48 people that showed up for the lesson. We had 2 inductions before that.

Richard challenged them with the talk titled, “The Ultimate Purpose of Leadership”. Incidentally, this is the last lesson of the Millions Leaders Mandate curriculum, Notebook 6. It was a challenging, thought-provoking message for the Penangnites, making them aware of the end from the beginning.

We had a mature Christian crowd that corrected us on the fact that in the 1700’s when Penang existed, there was no Kuala Lumpur.
It was an interesting introduction elicit with different responses from the crowd. It was an exciting beginning for us as we journey down this lane with the Penang folks. What comes later was a testimony of God’s hand and protection for me.

I was a victim of a failed snatch thief attempt to get my handbag off, at Macalister Road. Despite the fall on the road on my head, the doctor confirmed that everything was normal with the CT scan done in Lam Wah Ee Hospital.

Through the incidence I was connected with friends that I have not seen for 27 years. It was a great reunion despite of the fact that it was done around the emergency ward bed. I was reminded of this verse. Deuteronomy 33:27,

“ The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms. ”

What a great reminder that God shelters us all the day long and the beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him.
