Outing to OFB’s (Openhands Fellowship Berhad) House

On 31st October 2009, CG01 and CG04 had a combined cell group outing to OFB’s house where everyone participated actively in various fields, such as cooking, cleaning and managing the teens and children.

Before we started the activities, we had a short praise and worship session which involved the Openhands girls as well.





Then, we were separated into different ministries according to the tasks assigned beforehand. The different ministries included Teens, Children, Cooking and Cleaning Ministries.

For the Teens Ministry, Jasmine led a “Cell group-like” session where there were ice-breaker, sharing of testimony, sharing the Word of God and prayer. During testimony time, all the girls were very responsive as they were willing and ready to share their own testimonies as well to praise God. It was very encouraging to listen to their testimonies. The topic being shared on that day was “Who You Are In Christ”, where the objective was to strengthen their faith and their stand in God.





It was not only the teens who learnt something new on that day; the children had a lot of fun as well. Led by Chin, the children learnt about the Lord’s Prayer. Then, they were given angel pictures which had the Lord’s Prayer printed on. The children were asked to colour the angels and make wings for them. Overall, the children enjoyed colouring and making the wings for their angels.







In the Cleaning Ministry led by Jenn Hau, everyone did a great job in helping Pastor Anba with the cementing work and dismantling the bed frame. They also helped in carrying the new mattresses up to the individual bedrooms at the second floor of the house. The Cleaning Committee also helped in cleaning and mopping every room in the house. Great job guys!





Lastly, the Cooking Ministry led by Sh’n Yee lent a helping hand to Latha Sharmila as they prepared lunch for the girls and also the whole team. We had delicious Mee Goreng!







Overall, it was a very successful outing. Our team reached Openhand’s house on time and we left around 12.30p.m. Every activity was carried out smoothly and joyfully. It was very encouraging to witness the participation of every team member. They were willing to serve the girls (even Masoud helped in cooking the Mee Goreng!) and there were good cooperation and coordination among them. As for the girls, I could feel their joy of having us to spend time with them. They really appreciated our presence and help. Hence, it is good to have this kind of outing, because the best way to prove that God loves them is through our loving actions as Christians.
