confined condition detached from daily city life. Nothing could be done except the
            already-set agenda. No change in general situation and condition could happen, except
            some new people appeared and some old people disappeared from the congregation.
            Nevertheless it was really one of some good and rare opportunities to be alone with
            God  ‘face-to-face’  without  any  worldly  disturbance  and  worriness.  In  such  a  case,
            praise and thank to God for the special opportunity to be in Lawas. Hallelujah!
                  The trip was closed by the implementation of the last crusade in the church of
            Borneo Evangelisting Ministry (BEM) in a small village on the hill near Serian which had
            a similar situation and condition to the praying center in Lawas. The place was on the
            top of the hill, very serene, calm and cold as well, opposite to the other hill which
            belongs to Indonesia. The border lies in the valley in between the above mentioned
            hills. And the separating distance was not large that if one screams from the village on
            top of the hill in Malaysia his counterpart in the village on the opposite hill in Indonesia
            can hear the voice gently, softly and weakly. This meaned that the loud singings and
            praisings in the crusades at nights should have been heard by the Indonesian people
            in the opposite village on the other hill. Praise the Lord! This was similar to what had
            happened in Galilee more than 2000 years ago in the well-known sermon of Jesus on
            top of a hill i.e. the Sermon on the Mount which could be heard from far-distant places.
            Sometimes when  cellphones  could  not work  (blankspot  areas)  God  gave  a  natural
            mean i.e. physical and natural conditions of sound amplification and reverberation
            which allowed the words of God be shared, transmitted and heard by the other people
            living in ‘the unreachable places’. Again, all glory to Lord Jesus Christ!
