The gathering of KLA students from Kuala Lumpur, Perth, and Singapore was nothing short of amazing. It was incredible seeing the way Kingdomcity culture did not change no matter where we were, from the moment we walked into the Hub - we were greeted by so many students. There was so much hugging and embraces showing that even though we hadn't previously met, we were all one family. It definitely embodies the feels like home atmosphere that Ps. Mark and Jem work so hard to maintain.

Initially, I was feeling a little anxious about Ps. Tim Hall purely due to the way others had described him and I personally found him intimidating. Listening to the wisdom he shared during his sessions were profound and eye opening especially learning about the true interpretation of the Bible and fully understanding what it meant to have the power of God within us. It really encouraged all of us to pray for each other and to strive for more depth in our faith and our beliefs.

Hearing all the testimonies, revelations and transformations from others doing KLA fueled the admiration of Gods love for us and His grace and goodness. I also realised that throughout a lot of the year, I felt the need to strive for Gods love and to strive to match the pace of others when the reality is that I'm on my own timeline and comparison kills unity. I had the revelation that Gods love is not something that I need to work for, it's readily available and I only need to understand that His love is that of a Fathers. I think I believed this in my head but didn't fully comprehend and believe it in my heart. Learning about God and His goodness from Ps. Tim Hall really helped make that revelation more concrete.

Prior to the trip, I was always quite curious as to what happens when people get slain in the spirit - the feelings, the images, the revelations and as Ps. Tim got up to start revealing the power of God and almost everyone got slain - I remember feeling fearful as he was coming down the line of people. I had some bizarre thoughts of manifesting and there was a lot of anxiety about the unknown and it took a lot of praying against fear and knowing that God only has plans for peace and love. As Ps. Tim Hall got to me, it was a moment of peace like never before and I wanted to stay in that moment for as long as possible. It also took me back into memories of learning how to ride a bike and showing that even when it feels like I'm on my own - He is with me. When I first got up, I started to question if this was my flesh wishfully wanting visions or if it was from God. This I also realised is the overthinking I did in a lot of situations when God was speaking to me but I choose to trust that it was from God and it was showing me that I'm never alone and that He has equips me as He appoints me.

On the first session of street ministry, I personally found it difficult approaching people and especially attempting to speak in Bahasa. I think it was mainly fear of rejection and fear of judgement by man, however our group got split up into 2s as we were tackling a street of houses. Andy and I walked into this couples house admiring the architecture of the buildings and found the lady inside, thankfully Andy encouraged me to speak up and to continue the conversation with her so I mustered up as much of the local language as I could and before we could ask her how she was - she shared how she has been continuously feeling pain in her leg. This was a gateway for us to lead into explaining why we were in the neighbourhood and proceeded to pray for her - she was so grateful that we even offered. There was no healing but we know that God was already in the work of making it happen and that it wasn't our lack of faith or our fault. The experience taught me that it only takes 5 seconds of courage to actually step out and offer prayer and that so many people actually want prayer but just don't voice it.

We walked out after speaking to the lady and met the man nearby as he was chopping up banana leaves and tending to some cows, he was hunched over and definitely had worked extremely hard outdoors for most of his life. Andy felt to ask him if he needed prayer and the man (Pak Atuk) took us back into the house we were previously in and introduced us to his wife who was the lady we had just prayed for! It was a funny coincidence! Pak Atuk has had 2 eye operations that had failed and had very blurry vision out of one eye and experienced a lot of pain in both his knees. We prayed for him and you could see a shift in his heart - he was in such a state of peace that made us both feel tingles! When he opened up his eyes, he was teary eyed and said he'd never felt such peace! We invited them to church and kept in touch with their youngest son!

As we flew into Bali, you could feel the strongholds and the change in spiritual atmosphere. It was while we were still in the air and there was a tangible shift that many of the KLA students felt. I remember some of us looking at each other for confirmation that we weren't the only ones feeling almost claustrophobic with spiritual oppression. We started praying for protection over the entire group and especially for a fresh annointing over each other, as we were feeling super excited yet also a little nervous travelling into new territory with the intention to share God's love.

We met these workers during our second session of the 2nd day of street ministry. The man in purple was so excited to see us as a group had prayed for his knees earlier in the day and he was fully healed of sore knees! Praise God! He excitedly introduced us to the 9 other people in the store and then asked if we could pray for his back - we prayed and he was fully healed! One of the ladies in the store caught my attention and I asked if she needed prayer however she continued to decline and the others around her made comments about her leg in Bahasa (not knowing that I could understand what they were saying). We kept pressing in and asked the man who was just healed if anyone else needed prayer for anything at all, eventually the lady spoke up about her foot and not being able to walk. We prayed for her and she was fully healed! She felt astonished at how the healing happened and we explained the love God has for His people and for her and she was filled with so much joy! She kept running around, skipping and jumping!

This man saw us coming out of a house and asked what we were up to, we explained that we were from different countries, coming together to pray for the people of Bali and to launch Kingdomcity Bali and he shared that he's had chronic back pain. We prayed for him and he was fully healed! The photos prior to us praying did not have any of the light rays as pictured in the photo above. It was something we noticed as a group that every area we went into, only after prayer would showcase the sunlight shining over the individuals. Our group stood in awe at the tangible presence of God in the areas we went into and how they were so open to prayer and welcoming us into their homes

On the second day, we were walking past a bridge near a Buddhist temple and Jaimee felt to go over to a couple of construction workers sitting by the bridge. We went up to them and offered to pray for them; the first person we prayed for had a stiff neck and back, he couldn't turn his body fully. We prayed for him and praise God for full healing! His coworkers began stepping out for prayer and so we asked the guy who just got healed to pray for him as well and we continued to see God heal the 4 people that were there and continued to ask them to step out in their faith for their friends. It was amazing seeing the reactions they had when healing happened and it led to conversation about their lives and families who we invited to come for the launch of Kingdomcity Bali. It was this very day, that a few of us experienced nausea and migraines which made us want to turn around however the perseverance made it all worth it and it was a true show of the enemy trying to stop us from bringing revival into their worlds and showing them Gods love for them.

This man was at the playground by a Buddhist temple playing with his daughter. Quite a few of us within the group felt drawn to him so we approached him and began conversing about his life and his daughter, he then asked what we were doing and made a comment about what we were doing there and how we all came together. This allowed us to share about our faith and sparked a conversation around our takes on Islam and the controversial views they've had surrounding Christianity.

We shared about how our God loves all people and we are called to do the same despite the variance in creed, religion and culture. We then prayed for him and prayed against back pain and carrying a burden - as we ended our prayer we realised he was sobbing. He was so apologetic about being emotional which allowed Andy to speak into his identity and that masculinity isn't about hiding emotion but owning them. He revealed that he felt the burden to carry the family and feels responsible and torn between his family and his parents who live 6 hours away in a village and suffer from health issues. We told him that we believe he could stand in proxy for his parents and we prayed for his parents believing for full healing. The man said that once we set foot in that playground, he felt peace and continued to feel peace as we prayed to the point his daughter fell asleep on him.

He kept saying that he normally comes to the playground outside the temple when he was feeling overwhelmed, burdened and stressed and kept asking us why we approached him specifically and we explained that we just felt it on our hearts and we believe that it was God. The man works in the airport and was working the Sunday we launched but he said he would come when he's not working. It was beautiful to see such a genuine reaction come out of relationship with us and what more when he begins a relationship with the Father.

The lesson I got from all of this was that we just need to connect with people and shower them with love and affection and God will plant seeds from there. The loving on people sets us apart from others and allows us to speak into their lives from a place of relationship.
