Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leong Ming Fang. I am a former student of Trinity Learning Care at Trinity Methodist Church, Kuching and used to be a volunteer teacher to guide the juniors. Currently, I am 23 years old and have just completed my Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Development last July.
My sharing will focus on two aspects: health and finances and how these factors have posed challenges to me as a student. For your information, I come from a poor family. Growing up with parents who often argued with each other and having strained relationships with my siblings, I was forced to mature and become independent, without relying on them. I'm sure most of us might be in a similar situation, where we have to grow and learn to be self-reliant amidst difficult circumstances. The struggles I faced at school couldn't be shared, and I kept them to myself. However, I'm always grateful because God has blessed me with amazing classmates. They were a ray of light in the midst of the darkness I felt. They are not just classmates; they are a family that provides genuine support and friendship. Through them, I was introduced to the Trinity Methodist Church. For me, this church is not just a place of worship; it's where I found growth and love.

As I sat by the tranquil Semeba River, my heart overflowed with profound emotions as I reflected on my transformative pilgrimage to Mt. Murud. Before the journey, my soul carried a deep longing to encounter God personally, and the words of Job 42:5, "My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You," resounded within me, igniting a thirst for a deeper connection with the Divine.
In preparation for this sacred pilgrimage, I dedicated myself physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, seeking to align with God's purposes and surrender wholly to His will. However, beneath the surface of my devotion, a relentless undercurrent of overwhelming fear and insecurity gripped my soul. The passing of my mother left me feeling like an orphan, with an inexplicable void that yearned for parental guidance and love. As I approached the age of 60, this fear intensified when my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a cruel reminder of the neurological disorders that afflicted both my parents.

2013, 2015, 2017– Attended Murud Prayer Conference.
2019– I struggled and went against the Lord’s calling to go to Murud. I told God, Nope, I didn’t want to scale up and down the mountain just to meet Him anymore!
2021– Covid. No Murud Prayer Conference on the Mountain. My heart broke a little. I missed being in His presence on the mountain. Thank God for technology, we had it online instead.
August 2022– Got the dates for the Murud Prayer Conference in 2023. God didn’t even have to push me this time. I gladly and immediately got my flight ticket. I tried to bring along a few friends, but none were interested at that time as it was too early (one year ahead!). But I told God, it didn’t matter. Even if I were to go alone, I would happily go. I had only wanted to come to His feet and bask in His presence.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for all His blessings, provisions, and protection during our Mt Murud journey, which saw us climb up the mountain and return safely to Kuching.
1. Before the Journey
I go for my brisk walk exercise daily if possible. Although I was alone in my walks, I felt God’s presence with me. I would be singing, praying, and drawing strength from God. One evening, there was a heavy downpour and I could not go for exercise. I prayed to God to control the rain. It was still drizzling when I went out. God answered my prayer as the rain stopped. After my walk, the rain started again!! Thank you, Lord. Another day, the same thing happened and God did the same miracle - the rain came after I had finished the walk. This is how I encountered God from the beginning. He is my strength and power and with confidence in our Lord, I know can make it up and down Mt Murud.
