On our outreach yesterday, I was just reminded how
faithful God is to us and if His children stand together and pray, they can
move mountains. Coming up for my 3rd anniversary of my near fatal
accident, yesterday was a testimony of real huge proportions.
A man came in to pull teeth and we both look at each
other and realize that we know each other from way back. Sure enough, I pulled
teeth in his church with AOC and my friend Grahame. He immediately asked me
about my leg!! He said that my other friend Piset, asked all of the churches in
the area to pray for me while I was in hospital. Wow, just a reminder that God
is moving amongst these Christians in Lvea Em, Kandal. After wards my friend
Mike’s dad, told me that they faithfully prayed for me when this pastor was
asking them to. To say the least, I was blessed out of my socks.
It was fun to hang out with the Water of Life boys.
My fav dental friend, Long was with me and together with all the boys, that are
men now, we had so much fun and could share love around to so many people. This
is indeed a privilege to work together as fellow missionaries and forget about all
the things that separate us from helping each other. I so wish us as the
missionary community can work together more to further the Kingdom of Christ.
We pulled a lot of teeth and Dr. Tim helped a whole lot of people with needed
meds. People got prayed over and the love of Christ was spilled over people.
Pray for us as we still have 2 days left of outreaches round Phnom Penh.
Saw a boy today that was just lying down under a
small shelter with mum trying to care for him, but do not have the know how and
do not have the means either. Our friend Andy is reaching out to some farmers
that stay in very basic houses on the side of the rice fields. This young boy
was born most properly with Epilepsy and get seizures a lot. His mum showed us
that he has bedsores as well. My heart broke as I know what can happen with
someone like this. We can only pray and hope that Andy will help them to look
after this kid.
Please pray for Anti Paula, Toinette’s mum , as she
is struggling with her back and need to make hard decisions on what to do about
it. Getting older is definitely not for sissies.
Please pray for Anti Matra, Mordegai’s mum as she
had her 6th monthly chemo treatment for pain. Pray that her immune
system will be working again soon.
Want to ask that you also pray for Toinette’s
brother, Quinton. He still has some medical issues that he struggles with. Pray
that God will finally heal him and show him that He is in control of his body.
Breaks my heart to hear that such an energetic guy have health problems.
Something for the week: God chose you based on his
mercy, not your performance. You’ll never earn it. You’ll never deserve it. You
couldn’t work hard enough for it. You couldn’t be perfect enough. It’s only
because of God’s grace and mercy that the Creator of the universe says, “I want
you in my family.”
Love
