Medan Mission Team Experience
Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too. (Acts 14:27)
From July 18 to 23, 2026, SPC sent out her very first short-term mission exposure team to Medan. Though one member was forced to withdraw due to unforeseen circumstances, the 24-member team faithfully carried out the call.
Throughout the week, the team engaged in a vibrant range of ministries:
Confirmation Service: Joined the confirmation service for 25 members from 4 Anglican churches in Medan and presented a dance performance.
Worship & Fellowship: Led "A Night of Worship" alongside local Anglican churches, presented a dance performance, and visited and prayed for a number of local church families.
Outreach: Conducted a children’s ministry outreach and hosted a special "Sabah Food" cooking lesson to build bridges within the local community.
Every team member returned with personal stories of God’s goodness and profound lessons learned on the field. Here are three testimonies from the trip:
Personal Testimonies
Mauming Singkung:
(Medan Mission Team Leader): “Praise the Lord! The Medan Mission was completed with the fullness of God's grace. Even though we faced various challenges, God was always present to lead, provide for every need, and strengthen us. This mission was not only a blessing to those we served, but it also renewed my own faith. Truly, God's word in Philippians 1:6 is faithful: ‘He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.’”
Cleoffe Samanggang:
“I am deeply
grateful for the opportunity to serve as
an intercessor and in the children’s
ministry. The principle 'Connect before
you correct' served as a meaningful
reminder that loving relationships open
hearts to guidance. Seeing the
children’s smiles showed me how God’s
love can be shared in simple yet
profoundly impactful ways. All glory to
God!"
Eunice Shim:
“Serving on a mission
team for the very first time taught me
that God is always faithful. Despite
financial hurdles, nearly missing our
flight, sheer fatigue, and sudden
schedule changes, His love and
presence continuously strengthened me
to serve with joy. Through it all, I saw
God’s hand shaping my heart toward
greater obedience. All glory belongs to
God alone!”
[This weekend we have two teams sent
out to Tarakan and Tanjong Selor. Let us
remember them in prayers]
