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!

21/5/18 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 am

17/8/17During 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. . . . .

21 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,. . . . .

Journey Up North

Update posted by Zixiu Liaw at 10:54 am

27 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

  • 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 :)
