Sorry for the late reply to our prayer Mondays. Since we last talked to each other we took a trip to Malaysia and spent quality time with Anton. It was a sweet reconnection that evening when we arrived. Like Twans said:”” Today the world is good again.”” We brought Anton some of his favorite foods from Cambodia as he is missing them the most. Wonder if he misses us?? He is enjoying his classes and making friends slowly. He has some challenges that he is working on and it takes time to resolve. Making friends with foreigners is not an easy task and because he is almost the only white person there, it makes it even more difficult. Thank God he is enjoying church and a small youth group.
I am preparing to go on a few outreaches with some
friends who are starting to fly today from the States. We will go down South as
well as going to the jungle. Please pray with us for this outreach to the
jungle as the people from the small church in Rum Jopon want to be baptized.
Pray that they do this out of true conviction and not just as an add-on to
their old religion. Remember that these people did not know who Jesus was, just
a few months ago. We read about this kind of event all the time in the Bible
and we are looking forward to a momentous occasion and for the Lord to be
present.
Also, pray for Curtis and Din to talk to the school's
teacher about what her role needs to be in the future. We feel we want to lay
down some sort of guideline for her even if there are only a handful of
students—nothing serious, but something to help her along the way as well. As
we move forward on this path we do not want people to see us only as an ATM/provider
but rather see the investment of their efforts in it, without us being involved
too much. We are one amongst us that we want to play a minimal role in this
development. One day we will not be there and they need to move on by
themselves, so teach them from the beginning.
FGC had 2 teams just before Christmas. One team was a
young people team and they had a very big Christmas party at the base. Toinette
said that she was very impressed with this young team’s willingness to help and
work with the people. The other team was older people doing the 321 Teachings.
These teachings encourage all the staff a lot. We could even visit with one
member while we were in Malaysia. Just to show how small the world can become
when Christians work together.
Please pray:
Some update from Ettiene: We saw the doctor this
morning and he’s pleased with my dad’s blood results - the liver is healthier
than it has been in a really long time. My dad got admitted to the hospital
today and will start the tests tomorrow 😊. We’ll keep you updated
as we find more. Thank you for praying.
May this week be a glorious week for you all.
Love
