Mother

Thank you for praying for our health. God answered and we are fully recovered from the flu and colds.  

Last week we were in Bangkok, Thailand, and had a good time with our daughter who is visiting. We thank God for  Christmas here at home in Koh Kong. Praise to God for the Savior coming into the world to save sinners. The Christmas program on the 20th went well.

Sunday the 27th was a good day in worship, in the Word and in fellowship. Mrs. T was feeling better and back in church. After the worship service and Sunday School we went by motorcycles to the estuary and held a baptismal service. One young man was baptized. Praise God for this step in his life. Pray that he would continue to grow in the Lord.

We have been informed that the church permit renewal has been issued at the office in Phnom Penh. Hubert plans to go pick it up near the end of this week. Please pray that it will go smoothly and truly get completed. It has taken many months.

Tomorrow I plan to fly to the USA for a week to be with family. My mother is soon to enter her heavenly home. What a privilege to have a godly mother and give glory to God for what He has done through her life.

“A woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”  Proverb 31:30

 

Needing God's Strength

We are excited to have one of our daughters coming for Christmas, but right now Hubert has the flu and I have a head cold with a cough affecting my voice. Please pray that God would heal us quickly. Wednesday we are scheduled to go to Phnom Penh to pick up our daughter at the airport. Then next week we hope to travel with her to Bangkok. God has a purpose in all.

Please pray for Mrs. T. in our church. She is having health problems. She missed church last Sunday which is rare for her.

December 20 is the Christmas program at our church. Please pray for a good attendance and that God would work in hearts through it.

We are grateful to God for the advent programs you are having that exult the Lord.

Christmastime

Celebrating the birth of Christ is a joyful time. We thank God for the three youth who came and decorated the house last Saturday.  They had fun and did a great job. They also decorated Christmas cookies that my noon English class students had cut out the day before. We had a full cast here for Christmas play practice on Sunday afternoon. Praise the Lord for that. Pray that the play and program on December 20 will go smoothly.

There is an American man living in Koh Kong that enjoys discussing religions with Hubert. Pray for God to work in his heart to see the truth of God. Please keep praying that we will be good instruments in God’s hands as He works in lives here in Koh Kong.
