THANK YOU WENDY, DAVID AND WAYNE FOR YOUR SERVANT HEARTS!
My time in Taiwan could not have been made possible without the help of “Wendy” and her co-workers Wayne and David. Geez, this gal literally took care of me and my team from the moment we landed till the time we flew out! She was assigned by the conference hosts “Asia for Jesus” to serve us and make sure we had everything we needed at every moment we were there in Taiwan. She had every last detail down, she was there to not only pick me up, drop me off, bring me breakfast, lunch and dinner, make sure that I had everything I needed, and then if I wanted something would go out and get it, make it happen within a drop of a dime! WENDY AND HER TEAM ROCKS!! (Wait till you hear the story of how she got me a Panda suit in the next blog!)
SERVING DINNER TO OTHERS :)
I think each day I could blog about all the crazy exciting things that happen, God encounters, miracles etc but sometimes I think its best to just talk about the little acts of kindness that show your appreciation. This may not seem like a big one, but in Asian culture when it comes to eating together it is always loving and polite to not serve yourself first, but to serve others the dishes you have been given to eat.
Especially, when I am the speaker or guest I am constantly being served by others. By doing a little gesture of appreciation like instead of waiting for others to serve you food at dinner, you can take the time out to take the initiative to serve others first. This shows others that “it’s not about you” but that you recognize their service, love and hard work put in to bless you.
So at dinner tonight, I took the initiative to serve others dinner first before they could serve me. Everyone was like, “No no, serve yourself first.” I was like “no no, you don’t understand how thankful I am for you serving me all week!”
CHINESE NEW YEARS CANDY BLESSINGS! :D
This whole week has been nothing short of miraculous, over 30,000+ people came to the Kingdom Culture conference. 500+ gave their hearts and lives to the Lord. Literally, hundreds of miracles happened right before our eyes. I am completely in awe of God’s work and power.
At the same time, nothing could be possible without the volunteers and staff behind the scenes making this revival event a success. I am so thankful that everyday the volunteer staff at Asia for Jesus have picked me up, got me coffee, found me cough medicine, brought breakfast, lunch and dinners, attended to my every need and basically treated my like royalty when I didn’t deserve it. I may be one of the speakers, but that doesn’t mean anything on my own, because I would be nothing without the love, prayers and support of the people behind the scenes.
PREACHING MY HEART OUT <3
For some reason before I even preached my first session here in Taiwan, my voice went out. This has never happened before. I mean, I will lose my voice after preaching many sessions, but not before I even preach one. Maybe it was a test of faith, a test of love, I don’t know… but when I woke up this morning my voice was not any better.
I had the 2pm session for the Kingdom Culture conference and I was going to perform my song “LOVE” with my brother Van Ness Wu and then preach a message on “Transforming Media & Entertainment for Christ.” Before the service me and my SOL (Soldier of Light) brother Van Ness were in the back room praying…. we knew we couldn’t pull this off on our own strength. In fact, there were over 5,000+ in the stadium hungry for God’s presence… we were God’s chosen vessels to bring it.
VAN NESS & ME PRAYING IT UP BEFORE PERFORMING "LOVE"
My voice was gone. My strength was out. But I was determined to give it my all. It was game time, both me and Van were filled up with the Spirit and we were nervous in our flesh, but confident in our spirits…
COME HOLY SPIRIT TO TAIWAN! KINGDOM COME!
Tonight was the first night of “Kingdom Culture” here we have been contending for kingdom of heaven to invade the earth in power. There has been amazing speakers ministering: Heidi and Roland Baker, Bill Johnson and my big spiritual brother Philip Mantofa. I have been in awe and amazement at their genuine an deep unconditional love for the people of Taiwan. I just sit in every session praying and soaking in God’s presence … thousands have been packing the indoor stadium seeking God’s face for this nation… believing God for MORE, believing for CHANGE, believing for TRANSFORMATION…. if you haven’t already go to: www.1040movie.com and watch the trailer to our new film about Christianity in the New Asia.. this is what is happening right now even as I type… GOD IS ON THE MOVE IN ASIA!
When I was 18 I walked the streets of China and saw something I will never forget. I saw streets filled with disabled children begging for money. Some of them had no legs, others had cleft lips, and many were mentally or physically impaired. That image of children suffering has been stuck in my mind till this day. As a Chinese American who had grown up in middle class suburbia for most of my life, I was totally shocked to see what I saw when I walked the streets of my homeland, China. Yet, this shocking reality of deep poverty is a reality that billions of people must face on a daily basis.
More than one billion people in the world live on less than one dollar a day. In total, 2.7 billion struggle to survive on less than two dollars per day. Every year 11 million children die-most under the age of
SOLDIERS OF LIGHT! ME & PROFESSOR JASPER!
Sometimes I like to say, “GOD OR ODD?” Meaning, that was either destiny or coincidence. Well, on my flight over from Los Angeles to Taiwan I was waiting in line at the airport. I woman chases me down and yells out my name “Jaeson Ma! Jaeson Ma!” She apparently recognized me as a pastor. She told me she has heard me preach and then said, “My dad just became a born again believer and I think he may be on your flight!”
We met, shook hands and I told him to come hear me speak at the Kingdom Culture conference in Taiwan and gave him my number. From there we got on the plane and I didn’t know where he ended up sitting. Turns out once we land, he gets up from the seat in front of me (he was one row ahead of me the whole time) and we greet one another. I tell him, “Hey, if you need a ride home to Taipei city I’m sure my friends can give you a ride.” Turns out he did need a ride and I was able to save him a taxi fare.
GETTN ON MY FLIGHT TO TAIWAN... MY LIFE IS A MISSION.. SOL!
So I’m on my international flight getting ready to fly to Taiwan for the Kingdom Culture conference…. I’m literally seated down, I got my ipod, my Kindle, an extra book, my airplane pillow on my neck, my snug blanket on my lap when all of a sudden the woman next to me asks, “Hello sir, but would it be okay if you traded seats with my husband over there so he can sit next to me?”
haha, I could have said, “Sorry mam, but I am already snug tight here can’t you see? and I don’t want to move my stuff to another random seat since I paid for this one….” just kidding…I would never say that!
I said, “Sure, no problem” :)
We traded seats and he got to sit next to his wife. I got to sit with a smile in my heart knowing that a husband and wife got to snuggle with each other on a plane ride across the ocean :D
365 Days of Love Challenge: Give up your airplane seat to someone else next time you are on a plane if it makes them happy :)
Today I went to go buy some vitamins for myself because … honestly, without vitamins I don’t know how my body can get through my crazy days! So, my favorite vitamins are “Flintstone Gummy Vitamins” hehe,
FLINTSTONE GUMMY VITAMINS THE BEST! :D
After I bought all the vitamins, I realized to myself “Dang, I mean a normal guy like me needs vitamins to stay healthy and thank God I can afford them. But what about people on the street who don’t have money to even buy a decent meal let alone vitamins?” So I thought I would walk around down town to look for a struggling family who had children especially to give them a BIG bottle of gummy vitamins!
JUMBO BOTTLE OF GUMMY VITAMINS!
I found this family on the street. A father, mother and little daughter that didn’t have much. They were out on the streets pushing a cart so I asked the father, “Would you like a bottle of brand new vitamins for your child?” He said, “For free?” I said,”Absolutely free vitamins!” He said, “Wow, thank you very much we could really use that!” I gave it to them and they continued walking … the little daughter looked up at me, smiled and waved good bye :) I’m glad she’s going to get some gummy vitamins :D
