OA Trip

Yesterday was a wonderful day, and a brand new experience for me. Well, OA means orang asli, so my church went to visit them yesterday. Arrived at church at around 8 something and had a prayer before we started to trip. A few Ripples Youth that includes me that were on that trip as well. It was an exposure trip for all of us. Well, we had a journey about 3 hours to the destination. Stoped at a village and had some breakfast lol and then we only enter into the orang asli village. There were a few Off Road trucks which were very tough lol like the Storm, Hilux and Triton. Well, the guys and i were happily riding behind the Storm standing up, it was a great experience. It took 45 mins into the jungle alot of bumps and rocks on the trail to reach the village. We gave them 10 bags of rice and clothes and hang around there awhile, have a look at the surroundings and it was someting very different. After the first village, we went back out to the small town to have lunch and then back into another village. This village has alot of durians falling from trees so we were kinda scared haha because we had no roof above our heads. Well, took another 45 mins off road ride again to reach that village. Same thing, we unload 10 bag of rice to give them and hang around there awhile. Nearby there was a stream, so we headed there for sometime of relaxation. The stream was clean and cooling. Hang around the stream for about an hour and then we headed back to town. Had a brief stop and then we all headed for dinner somewhere in Bentong. Had a heavy dinner, and then we all headed home. Reach back at church at around 9.30pm lolx. Thats about it the trip. Words can't really describe how awesome it was, and to really see people helping those orang asli were really touching. I'm sure i learned alot about serving the Lord, having a humble heart to reach out to those who are not reached by moajority of people. Sharing God's love with them and all, showing concern by giving things, taking them to clinic, praying for them and just to be there to help. I hope to learn more from these people that have a heart for these people. I feel very blessed from this trip and it has really recharge me alot. Praise the Lord =)
