Vol.# 303
As my departure date from Toronto looms closer and I leave on Monday October 20th back to my heart country, I thank you all for giving me the space and time to spend with my parents these past months. I have been blessed to have had all of the medical tests necessary to give me a clean bill of health to return to serve our Lord and also given advice on how to sustain my physical and spiritual health back in Phnom Penh!
I had the honour of spending time with my siblings and even going for one week to Florida to spend time with my big brother! This Sunday will be my last one and I will be at my church, Rexdale Alliance Church, and I am always excited to hear what the Lord will speak into my heart as I exit and how the message I hear corresponds to my re-entry message back at my church New Life Fellowship! HE never fails in linking up both sermons from across the ocean but written in His Spirit for me!
As I leave may I ask for prayers for :
-My parents: for the extra needed help. May God choose the medical workers who can truly help Mom and Dad.
-As I travel, for His mercies. The plane is always filled to capacity, so I pray that He allows me to have comfort and feel His peace in the seat assigned to me.
-That I may be a blessing as well as blessed by my seat mates.
-Safety on flight. There was quite a lot of turbulence on the last flight back to Toronto! So I pray that this may not be a disturbance but a rocking to sleep for me, since I usually find it difficult to sleep on these long flights.
Thank you to my parents and my siblings for everything while back here in Toronto. It is always bittersweet to leave! Thank you to my friends (you know who you are!) for your words of encouragement and time spent! Thank you to Missions Leadership Team for your time in listening and praying with me, and of course, always thanks to Ian and Ramona for their guidance and help as I return!
I was blessed to be here to celebrate the life of Betty Kerr as she is now in heaven and I got to meet so many from years ago at the service. Betty, you will be missed but your legacy endures in so many ways through your example of prayer, graciousness and speaking in love! I was also blessed to be here for Jennie Leslie’s celebration of life service. Jennie (besides my mom) was one of the top five women from whom I learnt in my early years at RAC. When Jennie prayed you knew she knew her Saviour, not knew of him, but she had an intimate relationship with Jesus and the love of His Word. Her written words continue to inspire me even now!
Prayerfully I will be able to see some of you at church on Sunday. I know that when I came in most of you were on holidays. Thank you all for your continued sacrifices of finances, time spent in prayer and responding to me! I do not take any of this for granted.
May Our Lord continue to pour His presence over you. May you never forget how much you are loved by Him and that you are never alone, HE is with you!
Love, His Warrior and Disciple,
Submitting to be His Dance partner here in Cambodia,
Your sister, Vedya
