In some parts of the world, people are more worried
and saddened by the death of a Basketball Legend than worried about the Deadly
Coronavirus is spreading around the world. The current head news is about
the death of Kobe Bryant in the states. Yes, it is sad that a Legend died like
this but head news?? Really?? There are so many more pressing issues at hand
but the media rather want to focus on a basketball hero than people that are
dying because of a serious virus?? Something wrong here people. Or maybe I am
just paranoid?
We do not have any reported cases yet here in Cambodia
but I cannot but just wonder…. With the number of Chinese visitors to the kingdom, we can just hope that the screening process they have in place will be
enough to detect an ill person. You see more and more people wearing masks and
the authorities warn people about the virus. As you can see, around us there
are already cases reported. Pray with us for this virus to be contained in due
time. Because of the Chinese New Year, the amount of people moving around is
enormous. Anton’s school already made some changes to some events at this time.

Please pray for Heang’s brother Ratha. He broke his
hand about 2 weeks ago and did not go to the doctor yet. Due to harvesting and
not enough money he properly or hopefully will get there this week.
Please pray for a dear friend Lorelee Planas Zayed. Her
husband passed away due to cancer. She writes:”” Thank you all for praying. My
husband is in induced coma confined in the hospice. He has been struggling with
advanced-stage pancreatic cancer since June last year.””
Please pray for the Joshua generation or the Teens in
FGC’s program. Pray that they will really see the need to be with God and that
the influence of teachers will help them to commit more to the Lord. Please
also pray for FGC staff as there seem to be more challenges in line this year.
Trying to raise up leaders and make disciples is not for the faint of heart.
Thank you for praying for us all. Please share with us
your prayer needs as well so we can pass it on.
Love
