Although ups and downs, joys and frustration did cop up at times, I very much enjoyed my work in the Home. It was a place where I could share my belief with children and fellow workers.

It was the year 2002 when I decided to leave the Home. Not long ago, I had the calling of the Lord to serve in a land far from home and friends. It was a very touching moment, the time when I realized that as one out of a million, I was chosen to bring gospels to people in a totally strange country. God has unique plan for each and everyone!

Looking through history, missionaries from Europe and Northern America came to China and Hong Kong more than a century ago to preach the word of God. Following their footsteps, it is now my turn – a girl from Hong Kong brought up in the love of God – to bring God’s love to Thailand. Repeatedly, I prayed that Jesus give me a caring heart to take good care of the kids entrusted with me in a unfamiliar country. I was convinced that, sooner or later, they would be able to experience the love of Jesus like me.

Shortly before the departure, two small girls of the Home came to me and said: “Lisa, are you leaving?” I joked: “No, I’m not leaving. I won’t leave until I am old enough to return to my home in heaven.” “So, you are not leaving?” The girls looked jolly and left. Silently, I thought for a while and whispered to HIM, “It’s entirely up to you, My Lord.”

Before leaving for Thailand, I had the chance of meeting a little sister of my church. She was studying in university and stayed in the hall. I had good sharing with her and her hall mates. Unlike the people I was going to, she and her friends knew Jesus Christ well. They understood why I was leaving and spent the night praying with me.

With numerous prayers, blessings and support, I went to Thailand with love and peace of Jesus Christ. Like Auntie Lovis, I am longing to become a “Prince of Peace” for the people of Thailand.
