Vol.#310 - Part 1
Happy Resurrection Day / Blessed Easter to all!
It is a new season and I am so grateful for these past few weeks where I got to witness His Spirit amongst my community here! I had 2 weddings to attend in the space of a week, and then 2 blessings-prayers events were created for me by the 2 campuses that I am blessed to serve with, and then the sorting and re-gifting of many of my things to those in my community! So in the pics below I can show you a bit of what has transpired. There are too many pics to show now, but I can show you all of them on site in Toronto!
SHARING MY STUFF - FINDING THEM NEW HOMES WITH CHURCH MEMBERS AND HOUSE CLAEANER
MORE THINGS TO BE GIVEN - NEW HOMES FOR THEM TO BE APPRECIATED
 |
| MY CORE GROUP WHO WERE VITAL ON MY LAST DAY AT THE APARTMENT. AT THEIR TWO HOMES SOME OF MY THINGS WILL BE STORED FOR THE TIME WHEN HE LEADS ME BACK. SO GRATEFUL FOR THESE PRAYING FRIENDS. (DAVID, THE HUSBAND OF LAUREN IN STRIPED T-SHIRT WAS AT HOME WITH THEIR KIDS BUT ALSO PART OF THIS SENDING GROUP). |
Prayer of thanksgiving: I had asked for a good farewell between my landlady and her family and HE went beyond that for me. When I went down to say goodbye, they all came and she said she was going to miss me and my prayers. Her daughter-in-law asked if whenever I returned I could come back to stay with them! I told them unfortunately that the 32 steps were becoming a challenge for me and she offered to switch apartments with me as she lived below me! I thanked them and we will stay connected via Telegram social media!
Prayer of thanksgiving: God gave me His opportunities to speak and pray with those I needed to. There were some surprising encounters from those who said I had an effect on them (hopefully a positive one!). I cannot express my gratitude enough to Chetra and Julia and David and Lauren for being there on the last day to help in transporting the stored items at their houses. Lauren helped me to weigh my suitcases to ensure they were not over the limit. I was anxious about this but she brought her scale and all is well at least for 2 suitcases. I am living out of the 3rd suitcase for the next day or so, so hopefully it is not over the limit!
Prayer requests: I leave Cambodia at 11:30 at night on the 7th. Please pray for favour with customs and that I am able to relax and maybe sleep on the plane. I have one stopover in Seoul and then the longer leg of flight to Toronto. Please pray that I would be a good seat mate and a good witness for Our Lord as well as for good seat mates! I am travelling back with 3 suitcases and a carry on so I am praying for the logistics of carrying them all!
Thank you all!
It has been a flurry of activity. I am glad I was able to be here and serve on Easter Sunday with my favorite worship team led by Lokru Pisit (my brother with the same birthday!) leading the worship that morning!
This evening I will be having dinner with Lokru Samdy and his wife Navy as they are my senior pastors at NLF church. We are finalizing the ways we will keep connected as I continue to partner with them from afar. A new and exciting opportunity has come up to also partner with our first church plant to mentor the head teacher at their Skill Teaching Center via video! They are starting afresh at a new location so I am excited to be part of organizing and helping to mentor the young team there as well as the team at Dangkao! More on that later!
Prayer Requests: Please pray for the transition back and for more suitable accommodation for my parents and myself in Toronto.
Thank you for your prayers and as they say here. ‘See you when I see you!’
Much love and a big thank you as the dance continues…!
Love, His Warrior and Disciple,
Submitting to be His Dance partner here in Cambodia,
Your sister, Vedya
