Week#1: Koge Port

Hi friends,
First and foremost, Qin aka Nipple-nator is my buddy. Really touched to have her. No matter where I am, she will always be my buddy, having that special place in my heart. (NOT in my nipple)

Some quick updates:
1. Due to complications, I am in Koge Port, 40km away from Copenhagen. Alot of work to be done on the ship before she can sail to serve in other areas. So, will be stuck here for at least a month. However, it is by no coincidence that we are in Koge port. We realise that this small town has less than 5% Christians. Also, many Christians here don't attend church, don't believe in God. In fact, pastor is like a job, with a salary, and pastor DON'T have to believe in God!!!! Also, the locals in this town seek "alternative" healing, alike to our local "tang kee".
Imagine 300 Christians on a Ship near them. Imagine what God can do to this town.

2. For this week, week 1, I was working in the Deck. Doing painting, helping out in hoisting works, etc. Engine department may need me to go program their alarm system. They spoke to me about it.

3. Also walked around the town alone. Ventured into the parks, houses.....
I think I must be very handsome. Alot of locals look at me as I walked around. So I smile, wave and befriend the locals. Thats how I got to know about their "alternative" healing.

Life on boat:
4. I am in a cabin, with 3 other cabin-mates, from Germany, Canada and USA. We have people from 40 nations on board.

Life here is amazing. I wake up very early to spend time with God. Also, people on board all have a deep heart for God. Simply Amazing.

We have to work hard to get the ship to be ready for sail. Sometimes, people work and get intensed. However, after the work, we will humbly seek forgiveness from the other party. Often we hug and cry. That's the Holy spirit at work, cleansing us with forgiveness. No hatred is kept over the night. What a culture! We must bring this culture to our workplace!!!

Dude, wish you a great time. Hopefully the ship will get ready to sail and I hope you meet interesting people and spread the message of God to everyone you meet.
