I think it's been a long time since I wrote about someone in church and so i'll write about someone who's not been here for a long time too!
No, she didn't died but she went to further her studies in the California State University of Northridge (CSUN) about 2 years ago. Let me start back at the beginning...
Couple years back, Marilyn, or more fondly known as Merr Peng (I call her 'girl'), was studying at Limkokwing University and came to join Eaglepoint's life group and later she actually helped to oversee the group of Indonesian students in her life group. During her time in KL, she joined my discipleship group and boy, did we fight! We fight through thick and thin on matters of the bible, on matters over life, over her temper, over her decisions... and that's what brought us closer together and stuck as friends after all these years.
that picture was taken when we took a discipleship trip together to Melaka before everyone left to some where else.. was it two years ago? hahha... we all look soooo young...
But please don't be fooled by her innocent looks. She is mischievous and has her own sense of humor. For e.g., I jokingly said that she's such an obedient girl in which she replied that I've got a leash on her. Before I know it, she tagged me with this drawing at Facebook. She drew this as per our conversation a moment ago. leash on a dog, dragging her along... I just laughed out loud!
If you would ask her what would be the way to plug in to a church, she would tell you to serve in the church! For her, serving helped her connect with the people and understand how the church functions. She would tell you the funny story of how she come to join the powerpoint ministry. So I won't repeat myself here. You can start a conversation with her by asking her about her experience. Last time, when she was here, she was helping me prepare powerpoint and always helping out odd jobs in the church office and just now she told me that after being away a few years, she came back and here we are still sticking stickers onto The Point!! She still fits right in and help out without complain. I remember even after she's gone to the States, there were still a few times I asked her to help me prepare powerpoint slides and emailed it back to me! NOW, THAT's what I call serving wherever you are! =)
There are just some people that you know, there are those that you communicate with but there are those you connect. Merr is definitely some parts of Eaglepoint and Eaglepoint has definitely some bits and pieces in her! =)
Get to know her if u see her in church this weekend. She'll be back to Kuching from Jul 5 for a few weeks before heading straight back to the States. =)

Let's discover people from other zones! Every now and then, I'll feature someone that's serving in this house to you. This will not serve to replace getting to know them personally but i do hope that through this segment you'll also be inspired to serve and to serve together with these people! More coming up...
