Visitation

In between the on and off rains today, God helped Hubert in visiting several special people. At the home of T. who hosted the church during our furlough in 2005, he sat and talked with both T. and her unsaved husband. She long ago stopped coming to church, following the wishes of her husband, but says she still reads her Bible and loves the Lord. When Hubert offered to go teach at their home for just 30 minutes a week, the husband flatly refused. Please pray for them.

Visiting in Cham Yiem he was able to have some conversations about the Lord with a couple men. But one of them had been drinking alcohol so did not have clear thinking. Pray for the people of that town. They need the Lord.

O that people would seek the Lord with all their hearts.

Visiting K., one of the shut-ins, was a joy. He delights to have Christians come and visit and sing with him. He continues to fix cell phones while lying in bed.

Each visit to N. there are more questions that N. asks Hubert. These arise from his conversations with his friends. What does the Bible say about this?  Then he goes back to them with the answers. N. is faithfully serving in church.

Please pray for God’s working in hearts in each of our contacts with people of Koh Kong.

“…As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.” 1 Kings 22:14

 

Answered Prayer

God does answer prayer. Our Sunday evening services have been running very low in attendance for the past few weeks. It is primarily an evangelistic outreach to the youth in Hubert’s English class. Then yesterday, in response to prayer, God worked and brought a good group, thirteen people. He blessed in the singing, the Bible drill, the message, and the games afterward. Please keep praying that we would see some of these young people accept Christ.

Hubert would like to start a second English and Bible class at our home, especially reaching young men. Please pray for God to send the right students and give wisdom in teaching them. Pray for eternal fruit through it. God is able.

This week Hubert will be taking a trip to Phnom Penh again. Pray for God to help him in his tasks there and give safety.

“The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.” Psalm 6:9

Bible Studies

God’s Word is so precious. It is a privilege to teach it. As we prepare lessons and meditate on God’s truths and how to communicate them effectively, God blesses our hearts. We love hearing the Koh Kong Christians mention their personal devotions in the Scriptures.

It gives me joy to hear some of the Christians comment about the truths they are putting into practice that Hubert has preached in his sermons. They remember the text and God is using it in their lives. During the Sunday School hour Hubert tries to get good participation as the men dig into the Word.  On Wednesday he teaches during both the one pm and the six pm prayer meetings.  Pray for T. as he teaches also on Sunday and L. teaching the Jr. High youth class.  The children are taught Sunday School by S. and I teach them children’s church. In the ladies’ Sunday School class I am taking them through some great lessons geared to help Christian ladies grow.

Then there are the daily Bible studies in our home. I just finished a ten day study with one of our students back from Phnom Penh briefly. Three other young ladies come faithfully each day. Hubert teaches some Bible in his English classes.

Visitation to the shut ins and to T. in her home far away in Koh Pao area are also times to open the Word of God together as well as sing. Thank you for praying.

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

Sound Waves

Praise God for our Bible study radio program each week on the local FM statio. Please keep praying for God to use it to work in hearts.

Bouncing sound waves, shades of grays, resolution to differentiate various structures – these are just a few of the basics of ultrasound which I am currently teaching the Cambodian physicians. Then when I am actually doing ultrasound exams on patients, I try to get students into the ultrasound room to get hands on experience. I thank God for the equipment we have to work with.

The hospital has also asked me to teach again on reading ECG’s. My knowledge in that is only very basic, but I am happy to share what I can.

Please pray that God would help me to make the medical material clear in Khmer language and that He would help me be a good witness of His grace.

Hubert has a hobby of amateur radio (ham radio) which he has enjoyed in past years. He is getting back into that now. Please pray that God will help him get his antenna up smoothly. The area around the house here presents many obstacles to accomplishing this task.
