God delights to answer prayer. He has helped R. and she is now very excited about getting baptized. She asked if she could do it now. She doesn’t want to wait. But Sunday June 12 the church has planned a fellowship and farewell dinner after the morning service, so the baptismal service is scheduled for the 19th. Usually we have gone in a boat out in the estuary. We tried having the service right at the edge of the estuary once but the drop off there is too dangerous and the tides are not always right for late morning. One other time we went to a stream with rapids about twenty minutes away but the slippery uneven rocky bottom was not safe. This time R. told us about a little lake about five minutes away where kids love to swim. I went with her to see it. In spite of the muddy road to reach it, the mountains beyond it and the big sky make a gorgeous setting. R. has told her family that she is following the Lord and they do not object. She is thanking God for that. She is praying for their salvation and is witnessing to them.
Thank you for praying for the new believer N. This past Sunday she made three trips on her motorcycle bringing people to church with her. She is witnessing to others and rejoicing in her new life in Christ.
Please pray as our family in Michigan prepares our home for us. Pray for the individuals we will meet during furlough and for our meetings as we report to our churches what God has been doing here in Cambodia during the past four years.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Matt 28:19, 20
