Good evening you all
We got the privilege to have our Chinese brother,
Sonny here from Malaysia. He is indeed a brother to us as we have known each
other for at least 25 years. Love having him around and get to talk a lot about
life and how to live it. This guy got so much wisdom from God and it’s so nice
hanging with him, of course over lots of coffee and noodles. It was so nice to
be in the small congregation of River of Life. It is always amazing to me that
a church can mean so much to someone even if there are many people or just a
handful. ROL only has a handful of faithful members. One is Ovaltine. ( with the purple shirt in the middle) He is
very sick with liver and kidney problems and can barely walk but he is coming
to church. Seeing him reminds me why we are here. We are not here for the
masses but for the individual person as well. Please pray for him as life is a
daily struggle. The hospital sends him home as they cannot do anything for him
anymore.
While in Phnom Pehn, I met up with 2 of my foreign friends
who are missionaries there. Both their wives are not with them anymore. The one
express to me that things are not good and that they are losing their support
and he need to move away as well. The other friend is trying his best to help a
small ministry here but the owner is not supporting him and its tuff going. He
is an old man already and I feel sorry for him.
Another young Christian Khmer friend of ours in Phnom
Pehn left his wife and is not giving any reason for not being with her. Please
pray for these couples that we know well, as this is a serious problem.
Please pray for one of FGC’s staff, Mary. She has been
in the hospital for a while now due to puss in the lungs. They inserted a pipe
to drain the puss. As usual, nobody knows what is wrong with her and they send
her home. Please pray for her as she recuperates at home.
My friend Quinton is also at home. Thanks for praying
for him, he still has a long way to go. Pray for him as this is a really frustrating
time when he is not allowed to do hard work or pick up any heavy stuff due to
his open heart surgery.
Please pray for my sister’s son Christiaan who needs
his appendix remove. He is in die hospital right now. Not sure when they will
do the operation. Pray for safety for this young boy.
I want to share to you this beautiful composition of
the word “Listen” in Chinese/ Mandarin. Sonny shared this yesterday with us. I
will put a big picture so you can read it yourself. Chinese language consists
of many different meanings to make up a word. Beautiful how God made a language
like this.
Thank you for praying for us. May this week be a
beautiful week for you all and may His love surrounds you all.
Love
