K. is bedridden. In spite of his limitations, his arms are nearly normal and he is able to work some on cell phone repair and service on his bed. He reads his Bible and sings to the Lord from his songbook. He and his brother built their shop/home in the middle of the Moslem district right next to a mosque. This section of town desperately needs the light of the gospel. God is using him as a witness to some visitors that come.
It has been my prayer that more of the Christians in the church would visit him. Yesterday after the morning service five of us went to his house. We each had a songbook. After singing songs that we each selected, K. asked that we go around choosing again. So we sang six more songs. God helped that the noises in the adjoining workplaces were minimal. (An ice crushing machine there is sometimes deafening, and a boxing match on TV when we arrived finished.) A couple people came into the poorly lit back room where we were. One of them looked over my shoulder and followed the words in my songbook. After we left he stayed to talk more with K. about the songs.
From there we went to the home of another shut-in and sang and prayed with her too. She really appreciated it. Please pray that God will use both of these people in the rooms where He has placed them, to accomplish His special plan for their lives.
Thank you for sharing. Praying for you in these remaining days there in Koh Kong. Our greetings to the church family.
