By Nickkisha Farrell -

I have come to truly love and appreciate the Malaysian spiritual family that God has given me here at Eaglepoint.

I started attending Eaglepoint in June 2007 after being invited by Steven Kizito. A few weeks later I attended Victory Weekend.  It amazed me that in such a short time, I, who had serious issues with trusting others would open up my life, hurts and past mistakes to the ministers that I had only just met. But when the Holy Spirit leads you don’t ask questions, you just got to follow.  That’s when I knew I had found a new spiritual family, I was here to stay, I belonged. That describes one of the things I’ve learnt since I came to Eaglepoint - to be sensitive to the voice of God and obey even when I don’t want to or when it is hardest for me.‬

More than anything else during my stay at Eaglepoint, I will remember how much I value the times I was serving.  I first served as a projectionist with 1a.m. and then as a core member in the Desaria life group.  Later I was both assistant Life Group leader and became a LG leader.  I can honestly say that serving has been the single most important thing that has brought me closer to the heart of God.

I’ve also asked myself, “Why am I here?”  Being at Eaglepoint has helped me see a clearer answer. I have been able to discover more of who I truly am, what I like, what I don’t like, even what I can’t stand.  I found self worth here as I learned to accept change in my life and be blessed and led by other. Also, I have been able to bless and lead others and I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity.‬

I am thankful for ENLI particularly the Leadership 1 Class with Ps. Tim and the Change Your World Camp, which has shown me the importance of pinpointing my calling and helped me rediscover dreams I had forgotten.  I have been so motivated and energized here that I intend to continue working with young people. I am now sure that’s the direction God is leading me to.

As I say goodbye to Eaglepoint I want to stress these:
1. Firstly, to the international students:  I know firsthand it is not easy to adjust and find a fit in a country and church with people who differ so obviously from you, but being a Christian is not about finding a perfect fit or being ‘comfortable’ but it is about stepping out of the boat and walking towards Jesus even though you are in unfamiliar waters, it is so important for us to still serve and do God’s will, regardless of where we are. – Proverbs 3:5-6

2. To the locals: I am thankful for the conscious efforts taken to embrace the many races and cultures that come your way. Do continue to do so because we really do need it.

Finally, I would like to say thank you to my family at Eaglepoint. You have helped me live a life that brings glory, honor, fame and praise to God, ‘I praise God because of you’.


我已经真正地珍惜与爱上了神赐给我在Eaglepont的这个马来西亚属灵家庭.

自2007年六月份受到 Steven Kizito的邀请后我就开始参加 Eaglepoint的聚会. 几
个星期后, 我参加了得胜周末. 奇妙的是, 在那么短的时间内, 一向不轻易相信别人
的我能够向刚认识的教牧们, 敞开自己的生命, 伤害和以往的过失. 当圣灵引领你的时候不要疑问, 只要跟随. 就在那个时候我知道我已经找到一个新的属灵家庭, 我会留在这里, 我有归属感. 这也是我来到 Eaglepoint后所学习到的东西之一 - 对神的声音要敏感, 就算我不想或者对我来说是困难的, 我也要顺从.

最重要的是, 在 Eaglepoint的这段日子里, 我会记得我是多么的珍惜我参与事奉的时光.我开始事奉时是参与1a.m.的放映员, 接着成为Desaria生命小组的主要成员. 后来我成为小组的副组长, 然后是组长.我可以坦诚的说事奉是让我更加靠近神的最重要的元素.

我也曾经问自己,”为什么我会在这里?”身在 Eaglepoint帮助我看清答案. 我能够更清楚发觉自己真正的自我, 我喜欢什么, 不喜欢什么, 我不能忍受什么, 在这里我找到自我的价值并接受我生命中的改变, 让其他人祝福和领导我. 同时, 我也能够祝福和领导其他人, 我非常感激能够有这样的机会.

我非常感谢有ENLI, 尤其是Tim牧师教导的领袖课程1, 以及改变你的世界营会, 它向我展示锁定我的呼招的重要性, 并且帮助我重新发现我已忘记了的梦想. 我是那么地被激发和推动, 我打算继续在年轻人当中的工作. 现在, 我确定这是神引领我的方向. 当我向 Eaglepoint说再见时我要强调的是:

1. 首先, 对于国际学生们: 我有亲身经验, 要适应和溶入一个住着和你截然不同的人的国家和教会是 一件不容易的事. 但是作为一个基督徒不是要寻找一个完美的配对,或者是要感觉”舒适”, 而是要从船中踏出第一步走向耶苏, 虽然你是在完全不熟悉的水面上. 重要的是, 我们仍然事奉和顺从神的旨意, 无论我们在何处. - 箴言3:5-6

2. 对于本地的人: 我感谢你们努力接纳来到你们当中的许多不同种族和文化的人. 请继续这样做, 因为我们真的需要它.

最后, 我想向我在 Eaglepoint的大家庭说谢谢. 你们帮助我过一个将光辉,荣耀,名誉和赞美带给上帝的生命.“我赞美神, 因为有你”.
