In April, my husband and I were travelling around Negombo, Sri Lanka. As Pastor Prince has always shared—we should never take protection for granted. Hence, throughout our travels, we would partake of the Holy Communion in our room, and give thanks to Abba for keeping us safe.

On Good Friday, we dropped by one of the churches for a short visit before we flew home on a red eye flight. Thereafter, we rode in our hired car around Negombo, passing by many churches, including St Sebastian Church. Traffic was slower there as the roads were lined with vehicles, and many people were walking in the streets. The church compound was also overflowing with worshippers.

Days later, we found out from the news that a bomb was detonated at St Sebastian Church that Sunday. I thank our heavenly Father for His divine protection. The bomb blast could have happened anytime and anywhere, and we could have been hurt or even killed in the blast. We can never protect ourselves, only our heavenly Father can protect us and keep us safe as He promises in Psalm 91.

In November last year, my husband and I travelled to Hong Kong together with our team to conduct a workshop. There was much unrest in Hong Kong as protests were going on. Just two days prior to our flight there, a big protest took place next to the apartment we booked.

Due to the situation, even concerts were cancelled. Despite that, the organiser of the workshop told us that the situation had calmed down, and advised us to proceed on with our plans.

By God’s grace, we were able to carry out our workshop as scheduled. What was even more amazing was the fact that there was no riot or protest when we were there. According to our Hong Kong partner, the week that we were there happened to be one of the most peaceful weeks in six months.

We realised that it was also the voting weekend in Hong Kong, and there were speculations that the next protest was taking place a day after we left the country.

Pastor Prince always reminds us that we are greatly blessed and highly favoured because of Christ’s finished work. During the trip, I felt so well-protected by God. What seemed like the most dangerous place became a place of peace for us!

On top of that, our workshop was packed, and it was a success. Praise the Lord!
