Told you last week that this year will be a year of
making new friends. Well last week, brand new friends came into our lives and
believe me, this guy means business. From the get go we were in the truck and
we went to Kampong tom for an outreach. Holger and his sister-in-law, Nastia
are from Germany. More our kinda people. Together with Yong and Curtis we stopped
and served the people in Thor Piang Rosey first with medicine and then went on
to Kabal Domrey.
The next day was all fun and games with the odd fall
down in the sand, till we reached Rum Jopon, deep in the jungle. All the people
knew that we were coming and so many came for meds. The anti with the snake
bite finger was so happy to show me her finger. I was wondering if I need to
cut the finger off as the bone was exposed, but it totally grown over. Praise
God.
Once again I was humbled by the unique way Curtis was
sharing the Gospel to some people. It is wonderful to see the excitement in him
telling people about Christ. Off course he brought some Solar Bibles for the people.
We discussed how we can come and show them the Jesus movie and share more with
them. This was not the end. We went to see the temple and Curtis started to
talk to the monk that oversees the temple. After he challenged the guy, he
asked for a Bible and out came the Solar Bible again. Now I cannot wait to go
back and hear what he has to say about God’s word.
On our way back we stopped in Thor Piang Rosey again
and helped Din that was in a bad accident. His finger was ripped open and the
local doctor stitched it together very roughly but at least it is not bleeding
anymore. After cleaning and good meds we were on our way again. Please pray for
Din as he needs his hands to work on the farm.
Please continue to pray for Ms. Divine (Didi)
Dacanay. She is still in Phnom Pehn in the hospital with Meningitis. She is
stable but still critical. They are trying and working with the Philippine
Embassy to evacuate her back to the Philippines. Pray that it will happen.
Praise God that Buntong is back home in Siem Reap,
although he is better, there is still a long way for him to go. Pray for his
complete healing.
Our friend Deon Botha is doing much better and his
eating improved quite a lot. Praise God that he can move on to be healthier
now.
Our dear friend Julie is asking for prayer as she is
sick with Sinusitis.
Praise God that Charia is doing much better this
week. Thanks for your prayers.
Please pray for Toinette and Petra that will go to
Stung Treng on Thursday. They will go to Asian Outreach Cambodia to do a full
day seminar on First Aid and then teach some teachers on Special Needs and then
they have a special night on Saturday evening to meet some parents with special
needs children. Pray for people to respond and to come and listen as this is
something so needed even in the local communities. This will be a great time
for sharing and we ask for prayer for this event. Thank you for Emily at AOC
that makes this all possible.

We pray that you will have a glorious week ahead of
you. May God be the center of everything you do.
