Emmanuel

Studying English as a second language can be a lot of work. Some of Hubert’s students in his English classes are very diligent. He teaches English five days a week. Then on Sunday the students come to the evening service which is in both English and Khmer language. We thank God for those who have accepted Christ. Please pray for more to understand and turn to the Lord. Pray especially for the new students to realize who Christ is and their need of Him. Keep praying for families of the Christians to be saved as well.

The whole church is involved with Christmas preparations now. The house is decorated (the church meets in our home). The celebration is planned for December 22. People are memorizing verses, deciding what food to make, practicing special music, and rejoicing in the Lord who came - Emmanuel. Pray for Hubert as he preaches.

Next week Hubert and I plan to go to Thailand, to a national park. Making van and bus connections is always an adventure. And managing in a country where we don’t speak the language is a challenge. Pray for a smooth and fun trip.
