Had to go all the way from Siem Reap to Battambang
the other day. Got a call from my friend Gordon in Banlung. A Tompoun tribal
guy, fell from his bike and dislocated his hip badly and to top it off, it was
already 3 weeks ago. Seeing this guy, I expected him to be in much pain but he
did not show any sign that he was in pain. He cannot walk at all and his son
had to carry him into our house. These guys are hardcore and show no pain at
all. After an x-ray it was confirmed that he need surgery to put the ball back
in place. He had his operation today but I did not hear anything from them yet
and just hope and pray he is ok. Please pray for him so he can get healed
completely and get back home to work again.
Praise God for much progress with our MOU with
Ministry of Education. The lady in the Phnom Penh office has changed from being
rude and angry at our staff to being friendly and even had a personal
conversation with our Director during the last meeting. Nothing is impossible
for God. Please continue to pray for the students who were baptised and
continuing to grow in their relationship with Jesus. Our director has stressed
once again last Saturday that we are not into numbers but rather life change in the students who come to class
and church. Please pray for Twans who will preach next Sunday that the Holy
Spirit will guide her in her preparation.
Please pray for Mordegai that will travel to
Ratanakiri in the morning. I will go with Samai, my good friend to visit some
tribal people and do a medical outreach the first day. The second day will be
with another good friend, James and we will be off to a Leper-colony. I want to
show my friend how to take care of these guys. I love to work with these guys
and it remind me of our days in the Philippines.
Please pray for my friends Jared and Emily from AOC
in Stung Treng. They are on a tight time schedule to finish the Hope Centre to
be ready for the grand opening soon. It can be a lot of stress to get all the
things you need, in time. Everyone will tell you they will give it to you but
we know better. Pray for some new staff that joined them recently to adapt
quickly.
Thank you for praying for us all. We know that this
year will be a wild one. I can already feel the spiritual tension, building on
my body. Going to Ratanakiri is always going a bit deeper into dark territory.
Love
