Welcome to our Called to Love: Egypt M site.
We have created this website and blog for a few purposes. We want to encourage the online community that God's work is not over as long as there are obedient and willing hearts. Second of all, we want this community to support and lift us up in prayer, as we present requests, ask for supplication or have thanksgiving. We will be posting about our thoughts, experiences and spiritual growth because it is the passion of our team to be held accountable to the body of Christ, to God and to ourselves; and we recognize that God calls us to be this way.
Please leave your thoughts and responses in the Comments section of each of our blogs.

An Eye Opening
I really has experienced the grace of God and His love in the past two days. I saw a magnificent sight of a cave church. I remember standing under a large cross looking at the statue of Jesus. I was imagining myself as one of the people watching Jesus being crucified. I am sure I would denied Him as His disciplines. But yet on the way to this magnificent cave church we had to drive past a garbage city. The smell was quite severe, yet, everyone of those people living and working at the garbage city were followers of Jesus Christ and they were proud to be so. Am I always proud to be a follower of Jesus Christ in front of all people?
Today it was my 1st official day of teaching the kids, yesterday I was just helping Sam. Today, I continue to enjoy the experience of teaching. I even more enjoyed sharing the message with the Children about God's love and how to love their friends.
In the evening, we went to visit an orphanage. I totally expected to see a bunch of kids running about and they would come to surround us like the kids that we've been working with, but in stead, we went to a place full of mentally disable people, not just kids. As I saw them one by one, I really felt my heart breaking for them. I was really trying to hold my tears, but I felt a sense of love I had for them especially for the kids. This even more confirms that my passion and my calling are for kids, no matter what race, what metal ability they have.
In this trip, I prayed for God to open my eyes and open my heart, and God really has answered my prayer. I can really see God's love for people. He really desires for more people to know Him as God before the second coming of Jesus and it is our job as His disciples to let people know about Him, no matter who they are.
God I hope I will not forget what I've saw, what I've learnt in Egpyt after I go back to Hong Kong. I hope I will continue to feel the sorrow, the joy, the passion for the people of Egpyt when I go back home.
