It is soooo nice and cold here. About 17-18 Degrees Celsius.
No need for fans and blankets are out. Gideon is sleeping under 3 blankets. We
went to buy some more blankets this morning. Heard from my friend this morning
that an old anti died last night from the cold, just here in town. Up North, it’s
colder and the poor tribal people are really feeling the cold.
I am busy helping Apo and he really needs some TLC.
His mum is very busy harvesting and planting rice, so I am stepping in to help.
His wounds on his butt are getting bad and it’s very deep. So I am helping out
with some Ozone treatment. We’ve seen the results before and I am trying again.
Please pray with us for a speedy recovery for this wound.
Toinette is getting busier this time of year with
all the Christmas parties that need to take place. This weekend there will be a
big one for the students in Kok Rosey. Yours truly need to take some pictures.
Pray with us for this outreach place as FGC is making a real impact in this
community but lately, fewer students can come for extra classes due to extra
classes at school. If they do not attend these extra classes at school they will
fail their exams and on top of it all, they need to pay for every extra class.
Teachers need more money and this is the way for them to make money by not
giving students the whole lesson in real class so they need to come for extra
classes.
We are waiting for Toinette’s little niece,
Lida-Marie to come and visit us here in Siem Reap. She is currently in Sri
Lanka on an Outreach. It would be nice to have some family here for Christmas.
Pray for the following people:
Anton is a bit ill with some flu. He is not a happy
camper but he stayed home today and looks much better.
Anti Pami Gregorio is almost finished with her Radiation
treatment.
My friend Heang’s wife from Thor Piang Rosey is due
on the 22nd December and will come this week for a scan here in Siem
Reap. Pray as the baby is breech and we pray for normal delivery.
This last weekend there was a Love Phnom Penh
Festival in Cambodia. Franklin Graham came and shared with thousands of Khmer
people in Phnom Pehn. We can use all the help we can get to reach people here
in the Kingdom

It was a great first night of the Love
Phnom Penh Festival in Cambodia! I shared with the crowd, through an
interpreter, that God loves them and how He can give you a new life and a new
beginning. We praise God for the hundreds of people who responded to the
invitation to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ and make Him the Lord
of their lives. Pray for us as I have one more night of preaching the Gospel
here in Phnom Penh.

Last night, there were so many people
who wanted to come to Christ that I was asked to jump in and help. I saw a
small group huddling, unattended on the side and went to talk with them and
grabbed some counseling books and gospels. As I talked with them I soon
realized they were Phnong tribal people from the east of Cambodia. I can
actually speak a few phrases in their language and have a special love for
these minorities. About 8-10 prayer to receive Christ between us two
counselors. They have no phone, no email, no Facebook...so I got driving
directions...in typical Phnong style. "Where the road splits to
3...", "next to the crooked tree...", "next to Honey
village...". One unfounded criticism that people make of a large gathering
is how will anyone follow up? Well, the way I see it, God brought these poor
tribal people hundreds of kilometers to hear the gospel. He brought me from a
race straight to the meeting, they ran out of counselors but God had already
tapped me to help follow up on them. How much easier it is with a student in
Phnom Penh! Actually, everyone was invited by churches so follow up is super
easy. Thanks Steve Hyde and Chris Cox for pictures and story.
Thank you for praying for us. We know that back home
in Namibia, people are on holiday but elsewhere people are working.
Love
