God's Working


God has been giving great opportunities to share the gospel and teach and encourage Christians this week though visitation to homes, visitors in our home, and contacts at the hospital. We have often seen God work in special ways during the time of having short term workers here with us, and this has followed that same pattern. It is a joy having Miss S. here. Please keep on asking God for more disciples to be made.
Our next short termer, Hannah, is planning to arrive from the USA June 14. Please pray for her preparations, for her month with us, and for God’s glory as He continues to work here in Koh Kong.
Hubert’s computer continues to give problems. Please ask the Lord to make it work well.

Our church permit needs to be renewed. Please pray that is will go smoothly.
Thank you for praying and watching God work.

Books to Print


God has helped Hubert and Mr. L. and Miss L. in preparing books for helping Cambodian Christians grow in knowledge of God and His Word. It has not been without obstacles, such as his computer getting lost in Bangkok last January, the documents not being in the right format for the printer on his trip to Phnom Penh in April, and this week, his present computer having major problems which he was able to resolve. We no longer have the same printing shop available in Phnom Penh where we printed books before. But the new printing shop has done a good job on small items for us.  Now the following ten books are ready for printing. Pray that they would be successfully published. Please also pray for their distribution and use by God’s people. Pray that God would be glorified.

Showers


Showers! Praise the Lord for the tropical showers that have begun to come each day. It is the beginning of rainy season. Along with the showers comes cooler air for few hours. The nights had been so hot recently that it was hard to sleep. What a gift from the Lord to have the temperature drop at night.  Another challenge that those who have visited us are familiar with is the loud music of neighbors celebrating special occasions often until midnight. That also interferes with sleep. We thank the Lord for each good night of sleep.
Showers, yes, but the showers are very short, lasting only a few minutes. They are not sufficient to refill our rain water reservoir or the city water reserves. Therefore most of the day we don’t have running water in the house. We thank God that we are familiar with using water dipped from a bucket. Each year at this time water is in short supply. We are so thankful to God for providing water for each day.
Please pray for showers of God’s blessing on His work here in Koh Kong. We pray for wisdom and for more lives to be changed by the power of God.
 
“…There shall be showers of blessing.”  Ezekiel 34:26
