While visiting with a Khmer pastor this week, I
realise this more how spreading the gospel, strengthening churches has to be on
the top of our list. Yes, helping and extending a hand of mercy is so very
important but our main focus should be His Word, His commission. Pray for me
and my contact persons to plan better how to strengthen the pastors and lay
pastors of our outreach points.
I will travel down to Kampong Tom tomorrow. My friend
will bring me to a new outreach in another village. Pray that we will be well
received and pray for travel mercies on the way. Sad days for our broken cars.
We are trying to revive the Beast/Suzuki. Then the Purple Peril/Tico died also.
Just got Maximus Prime/Nissan back from the mechanic as well. O my hard on the
budget for a week.
Twans: The new Khmer school year has started. We are excited for our grade 12 students who
will finish this year. Most of them are growing in their walk with God. This
morning again I stood watching them as they are helping with our Mighty Kids
program. They lead worship, share in cell group, share the Word and truly
becoming leaders. We had a team visiting from a church in Kuala Lumpur last
week. They also conducted a vocal training seminar with our students. It was
great to see how much the students enjoyed singing. At the end they had to
stand in choir formation and perform for the rest of the visitors. They were so
proud and confident. It was the first time ever that any of them stood in a
group singing in front of people. They don’t have music class in school. We
have so much to be thankful for, yes even music class in school!
More news from Fe:
BIG TRANSITONS...
My family finally had decided to take
our Sabbatical leave after being in Cambodia as a missionary for 18 years. For
Paul and Joshua who were born and lived in Cambodia, Philippines is a foreign
country for them. Now, the challenges begin:
- we are living with my very kind sister
and her family but it should not be for long.We need to have our own space for
growing boys.
- Paul and Josh are finally enrolled in
a Christian University. Josh is in Grade5, Paul in Grade 9.They had a very warm
welcome from new friends. School system is new, language is a barrier,
classrooms are full packed and hot, they need to wake up at 4:30am to go to
school early before the traffic becomes heavy...and more.
But,all the more we praise God for His
sustaining grace.
We really need prayers.
- I will start my 5th Chemo soon.Pray
that this very expensive Herceptin meds will be available all the time.
- We need financial support to sustain
us in our stay here in the Philippines.
Thank you all for being there for us.
— with Noel Dequito and 2 others.
Thank you very much for praying for us. We love
hearing from you guys this week.
Love
