Hannah Ramsamy, KL Singles.. My dream to be on the Ipoh Mission Team came about at the launch of Operation Evangelization of Malaysia at the SEA Conference in Singapore last year. I knew that being a Malaysian it was my calling to reach out to the people in Ipoh. It was during the Malaysian Churches Conference that I pledged to God that I would serve him. As the theme of the conference went, “Here I am. Send Me”, I told God to use my life for the advancement of his kingdom. On our first trip, we didn’t know the directions to Ipoh. We had no plans, no contacts…anyone would have thought that it was plain foolishness to travel without a plan. But it was amazing how God guided us to Ipoh.

Filled with curiosity I probed her and she told me how she often wrote letters to this friend of hers to share of her problems whenever she was unhappy. It turned out that this friend was a pastor in a missionary in Sarawak. I decided to get to know him and I started corresponding with him. I believed that it was God’s plan that I should come to know him. I found comfort in pouring out my burdens in life through the letters I wrote to him. Although we communicated with each other only through letters, I felt loved and cared for. After graduating from high school I began working in Johor
