Anton reminded us over the phone last night that often times revival comes only after there's been a death, a death to self and our own will. And once again I stood ashamed at having to think how long ago I earnestly said "Lord, not my will, but Your will", especially when I've set my heart on something, a decision or future plan.
Last week we had the huge privilege to attend Mon and
Chantha's wedding. They joined the Acts program when they were teenagers and
met Jesus. Now they are key staff of the NGO and actively involved in the Good
Shepard center. God has started a good work in them and it is so rewarding to
see them grow in their faith. We joined
the ceremony in the morning. The guests walk together with the groom to the
bride's house carrying fruit baskets and are invited in. So imagine, hot season
here in Cambodia, silk costumes, a few fans here and there and full on
make-up...... the foreigners looked like wilted flowers, at least the bride
looked fresh and very beautiful. Please pray for this couple, that they would
seek and obey God's will en be used mightely for God's Kingdom.
Please continue to pray for our Acts students,
especially the teenagers. Pray that they would not drop out of the program but
continue to attend faithfully to learn and grow. A few of those who have joined
the Sunday program have been absent a lot recently. The weather has been
extremely hot, and it is difficult riding on your bicycle at 12 noon during the
day. And then there are other factors like friend, boyfriends, phones that lure
them away.
Mordegai is working very hard, building swings to
bring to the refugee camp for the kids next Friday. Please pray for this
outreach together with Isaac. More opportunity to build relationship and bring
relief.
Bike for John's father: My mechanic friend just phoned
me and said I can pick up the bike of Ps.Che in Kabal Domrey. Praise God that
we could buy him a bike as well. Long time waiting for this one.
Thank you for all your continues prayers. Really need
a lot of this time as we feel so depended on God in this time of our lives.
Love
