Good evening all
What a day!! Who said they love packing and moving?
Well my whole yard was a mess today as people came and load stuff and break
stuff down. Seeing all our stuff on a truck or being broken down is a bit
unsettling for a moment but then so is life. At least next time it will be
easier to move.
We were off to the jungle without our friend Dim.
Please pray for him as he needs to deal with the passing of his father-in-law.
Curtis and Kimloon and 2 boys from WOL came along for the ride. We had a great
outreach with the Gospel being preached in various places. Like Curtis says:”” In
some places the people do not listen but the seed has been planted.””
Not everywhere it is the same. In Rum Jopon the people
were waiting for us. They finished the little roof they built for a small “” school””
as well as for a worship area. I am so encouraged by the attitude of these
people. They wanted to run with this project and finished it. We gave meds to
the sick and of course, the children got some sweets and balloons. Afterward,
some ladies were asking Kimloon and Curtis questions. You must realize that
these so-called Christians do not even know how to pray. They ask them to teach
them how to pray as well as to sing worship songs. It is hard to believe that
in this time of age, you still get people who do not even know the basics like
prayer. It is exciting that they asked about it.
Next, they shared their recent persecution. The local
people around asked them why they started believing these Christians as they were
no good, they lied to people and forced them to join their beliefs. They told
them that they checked us out now for more than 10 years and they see that we
do not force them to become Christian nor do we lie to them. We gave them good
medicines and taught them how to take it as well and it worked wonders because it
was the right medicine.
One shared that the people in charge in the jungle
came to them and tried to scare them as they became Christians but she stood
her ground and told them that she would start following this Jesus cause He is
good for her.
One lady was saying that her husband is always drunk
but she told him that she will not drink with him anymore as she feels that
Jesus does not want her to do that. While she talked to Curtis she was so full
of joy that it was addictive.
The ladies were sharing one after the other about things
that happening around them. Even if they do not want them to make a school,
they borrow the small tables of the old school to use.
Please pray for these beautiful souls out there making
a difference in their community. It is not easy being a Christian surrounded by
people who do not believe. Pray that they will learn new ways from the Bible on
how to make ends meet and how to live their lives according to Jesus. It is a
long and difficult road but we are doing our best in trying to encourage them.
Thank you for praying with us and we keep you posted as
things develop in the jungle.
Love
