Tell His Deeds

Last Thursday, God helped me find where Mrs. K. has a stand selling odds and ends by the waterfront.  I was delighted to be able to visit with her.  She had moved and I had lost contact with her. She has not come to church for a very long time. Her husband is unsaved. Please pray for her and others like her to return to walking with the Lord and being faithful in church.

Praise God for Mr. L’s new building being completed and open for business—selling ice cream, hamburgers, etc. On Sunday a group of us from church went there to pray—thanking God and asking His blessing.

A Christian family in the church, P. and SM. are developing a little pastry business in the front of their home. Please pray for God’s blessing for them.

We are beginning to prepare for Christmas. Hubert is writing a play and will have someone help him translate it into Khmer. Pray for God to direct in all and that all who participate would delight in serving God.

“Proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, And telling all your wondrous deeds.” Ps 26:7

Pray for Laborers

God gave an opportunity to meet briefly with Mrs. C. last Friday. She was in town for only a couple days. She still rejoices in her salvation and talks with the Lord, but out in a rural area of another province where her husband works, there is no church for her to attend. She does not know any other Christians there. Mr. S. is in a similar situation, but is in a good sized city without any church to attend. He is studying in the nursing school. Elderly Mrs. G. is living with her children in yet another province, and has no church to attend. Please pray for more good churches throughout Cambodia for spreading the Gospel light and building up the Christians.

Please pray for God to send out workers committed to Christ and following His marching orders to serve Him as career missionaries. What a privilege to be instruments in His hands and see Him working in the remote places of the world.

“Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:38

New Class

Praise God for one couple in our church who have begun a Sunday afternoon children’s class at their home for their neighborhood children. SM teaches the same lessons that she teaches in the children’s church here, and I help her get coloring pictures to go with the stories. Her husband, P., also teaches. Pray for wisdom for them and God’s blessing. The children are learning some songs. They live in the town of Cham Yiem, twenty minutes away. Pray that the children would understand the truths of God’s Word and turn to Christ for salvation.

Toward the end of this week L. expects to move into his new building! Praise God for this good progress. Pray for the move to go smoothly, for God’s blessing on his ice cream business, and for wisdom in every detail. Pray for his parents and siblings to turn to the Lord too.

“All things are possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23

 

God's Church

God continues to build His church here in Koh Kong. People are serving the Lord. We are seeing some visitors. Attendance this year is averaging higher than last year. But we would like to see more families and more people able to serve in leadership. Pray for wisdom and God’s leading in the church. Pray for more people to be faithful in all the services and passionate about Christ their Lord. Pray for the Christians to be instruments in God’s hands making disciples. Pray that God would help us in teaching His Word well. Pray that God’s people would spend much time in His Word. Pray for God’s protection of the Christians from false teachers.

Please pray for the church permit renewal to be granted soon. All the paperwork is sitting in the Office of Religious Affairs in the capital, Phnom Penh. We are waiting for them to send us the actual renewed permit. God is able.

Thank you for praying for our trip to Phnom Penh last week. It went smoothly and we met the various people we needed to see and purchased supplies. God answers prayer.
