Medical Team

The medical team has arrived here in Cambodia. I met them in Phnom Penh. The bus broke down along the road through the mountains coming to Koh Kong. Two hours later another bus picked us up. The first day in Koh Kong they prepared many medicines and supplies for the mobile medical clinics which begin Wednesday. Praise God for the many ways we have seen him working out details so far. Please continue to pray for safety, effective ministry in lives, and God’s glory. It is a joy to serve the Lord together with God’s people. Some of the translators and one Khmer pharmacist who will be helping us are not saved. Pray that they will desire Christ. Thank you for praying.

“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.”

Witnesses

Praise God for seven people who are preparing to be baptized soon. Pray for them to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord. Pray that the service February 1 will be a great witness to others. Pray for smooth arrangements for boats.

Thank you for praying for the pharmacy order. God answered and we got many of the medicines here in Koh Kong at a very good price. I have a few more to get in Phnom Penh when I go up there this weekend. There are several other errands, plus going to the airport to meet the USA team. Pray for safety in the capital.

Pray for Khmer Christians as well as American Christians who will be preaching and doing one-on-one evangelism during the mobile clinics January 28 - February 4. Pray for them to be bold, clear, loving, and have wisdom from God. Pray for hearts to turn to Christ.

“And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.” Eph. 6:19

Have faith in God

This Sunday the ladies’ Sunday School lesson continued on the attributes of God. As I reviewed it again before teaching I thanked God for the reminder that our faith is in such a wonderful God. This past week I was in Bangkok with our youngest daughter. She had a medical problem that needed specialists. We thank God that I was able to go be with her through the doctor visits and tests. We thank God for good medical care available. We thank God for working out the transportation for each of us, our housing, and God’s provision for every detail. We thank him for treatment she was able to get. It was not easy to see her return to her place of service alone, yet I know God tenderly cares for each of our children in all the places he has put them.

Besides his regular services and classes, Hubert continued to work on preparing tracts. They are at the printers now. Please pray that we will have them soon in order to use them for the mobile medical clinics. Also please pray for the pharmacy order for the clinics. My pharmacist friend  is filling the order this week. Please pray for the team members coming from the States next week: Joy, Chad, Phuong, Aaron, Sarah, Sue, and Cheryl. Pray also for Michelle and Abby our BMM co-workers coming from another province to help in this outreach. We will watch what God will do.

“And I will strengthen them in the LORD…” Zechariah 10:12
