We are celebrating today our 25th
anniversary. Never would have thought in my life that we will have so much
adventure together in such a short time. The Lord really provided all this time
for us and we cannot thank Him enough for all His has done.
Heang and I took the bikes around the mountain this
time in order to see how many people live in the jungle on that side. We have
been told that there were a lot of people there. We found a lot of house but
not many people; due to the fact that people hide when they hear motorbikes
coming as they are afraid of the police……we need to think of a way to contact
them in the future if we want to help them.
We went into beautiful areas that have been cut
clear to dense forest that we had to crawl into. It was just beautiful to see
but sad at the same time that we know it will not be there for long anymore. We
made it to Rum Jopon and everybody was glad to see us again. So many people are
living in the jungle now as it is rainy season and they can farm. Heang took
the opportunity to give some guys some of the Solar Bibles as they were eager
to listen to it. We praise God that we can help people not just physical but
also spiritual as well. Dengue fever and malaria are some of the main concerns
for these people.
Pray for Heang as he started to teach English as
well as Khmer to children in his village and around. Currently he has about 30
students. I helped him with some chairs and tables and he do it under his house
as well as a small workshop about 6km away from his home. I think it’s
something positive for the children to learn English as they can use it while
going to school. Pray for this family as they really seek how to help their own
people.
Please pray for the following people:
Deon is not doing well and every day is a struggle
now for him. We pray that the Lord will help his family as they need to deal
with his condition.
Continue to pray for Jean and Annerina as they seek
the doctor’s help for treatment.
Seems that Quinton and Andrea is doing better, but
continue to lift them up for healing.
Pray for FGC Cambodia as they struggle with some of
the boys leaving. Pray for the University boys as they go through a time of
rebellion. We cannot keep them save forever and they need to find themselves in
society and we know it’s important for them but its hard to see them go. We
pray that God will fill their paths with good friends that can influence them
as they are standing on their own as Christians in a world that is totally
against it.
We leave you with this:
“The truth is, we don’t have the privilege of
defining ourselves, and there are limits to how far we can reinvent ourselves.
Why? The reason is simple: we’ve already been defined by God, our Creator. God
knows who he made each of us to be, and in the end his design is always better
than what we come up with on our own”. The Daniel Dilemma: How to Stand Firm
and Love Well in a Culture of Compromise by Chris Hodges, Lysa TerKeurst
Please keep in contact with us and tell us about
things happening in your neck of the woods.
Love

Ps. Wish I could send some of this rain over to
Namibia!!!
