Class Gathering and Farewell Party

It is tuesday and one of our japanese classmate has invited us to her house for lunch! Naturally, when it comes to food, all of us said yes to come.

At around 1 pm, we reached her house which is just beside bukitbatok natural reserve. The house is owned by a missionary, who is currently in US. They are all OM missionaries and the rental payment is not according to market rate, and the best part is that all tenants are paying according to how much they earn or have. I thank God, that this is surely a good stewardship of what God has given or blessed us, to make it useful for others.

We were treated with many sumptuous dishes, cooked by our hosts. Japanese rice rolls, philippino fish and chicken, pasta, miso soup and many others. If I have time, I will upload the photos of the dishes later.

One of the roommate S, is leaving singapore for good tonite and going back to Japan. So, this meal is like the farewell meal for her.

On top of that, a lecturer Dr. Clive Chin who has been teaching us for the past one year is also leaving us to teach at Moody Bible Institute. so, you can say that is a double-farewell.

We ate lots of the food until we cannot take it anymore, afterwards we proceed to chit-chats and have a quite enjoyable time of sharing.

As friends and fellow workers of Christ, I believe that moments like these are rare and should be cherished. It is this kind of fellowshipping that is enriching and able to give some rest to the soul. When we go into mission field, we may not have such kind of fellowship again.
