Humility and love

Met up with Dr Chern Chern and Dr Yew On today, who are missionary-dentists for the Lord in Cambodia :) They were speaking at my former school's CF and it was a joy to hear them share about their work with such experience, maturity, kindness and humour! :) Its my third time meeting them, twice on the field and their lives are a real shinning light for Christ there; in addition to being one that God use to display His faithfulness. Often i wonder what will happen to missionary kids when they follow their parents, especially their education? but Dr Yew On and Dr Chern Chern can tell you how God bless them. Their eldest son studied in an international school there and due to his good grades, he was awarded a scholarship into Wesley Methodist College in Malaysia. (Help us save money Dr Chern Chern says with a chuckle!) And on top of that, last year he was even awarded for being the TOP IN THE WORLD for IGCSE "O" level Math! Wow. Such a testimony it is, even as Dr Yew On and Chern Chern chose to serve God in a third world country(16years now). How blessed i was to meet and chat with them again. Their passion and love for God and people is one that you that can really see and feel; in their eyes, voices and care. Thank You God for such humble servants of Yours.

Below are pictures of them, carrying out an ice-breaker/quiz on Cambodia before going into their sharing :) we even got postcards when we answered correctly!

Quotes of the day:

"It is not professional-suicide haha" chuckes Dr Chern Chern who regulary updates her knowledge and skills as an orthodontist who supervise and pioneered the ortho-post-grad programme there. Even as she is back for her furlough, she taking up attachments to learn about cleft management to go back and teach.

"We shouldnt give God our leftovers" when sharing about how best professionals are not just to be kept, but also given to the mission field.

"Think about how many people run to church? compared to the number of people who run to the hospitals? Hence you all are in the best place to share God's love when you provide health care to them" in Dr Chern Chern's closing words to the health care students in IMU.

"In the dream, i saw myself carrying(holding up) the Cross with the light shinning." shared Dr Yew On when i asked him how did he get his calling.
