Hi Everyone~
I'm Zixiu! Tissue would be easier for most of you.
I’m excited to be sharing with you that I am starting on a new mission journey as a media volunteer in Africa & Madagascar with an organisation called OM.
OM stands for Operation Mobilisation, they have ministries such as evangelism, church planting, relief & development and mentoring & discipleship in over 100 countries and onboard their ship, Logos Hope.
One year back, I felt the Lord's leading to go on an extended mission trip. As I prayed about it, God sent confirmations along the way. And now, I'm finally embarking on this journey.
Let me share a little bit more about this trip with OM. I will be on a 3 months Media Trek traveling around Africa and Madagascar. I would be using my skills in media, to do video works, which would also involve me in the local ministries, conferences and communities outreaches. There will be discipleship & cultural training as well. All of these would give me real and firsthand insight into the mission works over there.
I'm both psyched & nervous to be going on this "adventure". As a Singaporean, experiencing a mission life in Africa & Madagascar is something that is totally out of the box and stepping out of a very comfortable zone. That's why, I am fully trusting the Lord's leading to be on this faith filled journey.
I seek to witness & capture how God is moving and how lives are being touched and saved in the region. Also, being able to make use of my gifts & talents to minister to the people there, as well as to assist and serve along side the people I will be working with. I hope that in the same way as I'm being spurred to grow as a missionary, my work & my actions would spur you to do likewise for God and the people around the world.
Do cover me with your prayers. If you could support me financially, I would really appreciate it as I am doing this self-funded, and I am not drawing a salary.
Feel free to give as the Lord leads, no amount is too small. Your prayer support counts too. I strongly believe that this 3 months will be a personal life-changing experience for me as I seek to know more and do more for His Kingdom.
Thank you for reading, I will keep you posted from the field, see you very soon! God loves you!

It’s been a year~ (Videos links at the bottom)
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 02:13 am21/5/18 Crazy how time flies and a year has gone past just like that. A year ago this time, I’m with new people - a new team/family, that I have to journey with for the next 2months . Still very awestruck by how it all happened and how I made. . . . .
'I Will'
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 05:52 am17/8/17During the Trek, we had team devotions by using a bible study method used by OMers - reading a chapter of the Bible, discuss about God, Man & Jesus and then making an 'I Will' statement for the day/forward.I remembered our last Media Trek Devotions we were on 1 Peter. . . . .
Alone not
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 03:01 pm9/8/17It's National Day for Singapore and Surprisingly it's also PH for South Africa's Women's Day!Yay for celebrations!I'm all alone now in Johannesburg, and can I say it is just so WEIRD!!! After having the Trek family for almost 3months, and now ALONE.I walked back to the hotel alone after saying. . . . .
Family
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 04:34 am3 August 2017So… The Media Trek is done 1 week back… Media Trek family is officially OFF. “Daddy” - Kauya (Co-leader) & “Mommy” - Rebecca (Leader) are now “divorced” (Just some funny stuff the family made up). The siblings are all kinda separated now, with Lindsey back in the states.It. . . . .
Need
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 10:15 am21 July 1:30amJust lay down on bed and I was hearing gunshots being fired somewhere nearby.Living in this uncertainty of safety is what is unknown to me. I never know if it is ok or not. It might be the rifle being fired from the Safari nearby? Or the guy,. . . . .
You know
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 05:04 pm13 July 9pmThis is the face that I remembered; when we were told to share our favorite/best moment on the island.This little girl from Antanantsoa village, in the region of Androy, left an impression in my heart. It amazing to me that there is this connection through our eyes."Our eyes. . . . .
Crashes
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 08:42 am21 June 2017 7:45amIt's our 3rd day in Fort Dauphin, Madagascar, it's our flight day = leaving. 😢There's barely much tourist here, a hard place to get to with the road conditions.As I watch the 3(Drew, Rebecca & Kotie) ran out into the ocean, I remember the song Oceans. So. . . . .
Journey Up North
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 10:54 am27 JuneIt's a crazy "loza be" (dangerous in Malagasy) but stunning ride in the kombi.The narrow and windy road passing small towns, hills and mountains. On 1 side I see the sunlight lit up the beautiful and gorgeous sceneries, on the other, the light breaking through the whispery and mystical
OM Africa
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 08:30 amMy Testimony was on OM Africa Facebook - Media Trek TestimonyHere's my full write up:-Ambovombe: there's dust, dirt, and a different kind of culture and mindset that I am not used to. I wonder where is God in all of this. Coming from clean and green Singapore, where we have. . . . .
Food is Me = Foodie
Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 03:32 pmWe are currently two-third our journey to Mahajanga, in the town of Maevatanana.I had the time and I had this riding on my mind, so I'll do this FOOD post (also specially dedicated to my baby sister, Wing wing), as a true Singaporean! I MISS home cooked food the most!. . . . .

Zixiu, your leap of faith and obedience to God's call is inspiring! Praying alongside you as you use your gifts and talents to bless Him and everyone you encounter in Africa and Madagascar. This sum of money is from my aunt who's visiting from NZ :)
