#231 - Praise and Prayer: Blessing Packages and Discipleship

 Vol.# 231

 

It has been a while since I have written, so here is a quick update! 

 

My Dad has been progressively getting stronger and my Mom as well. We are so blessed to have the nurse and physiotherapist still come twice a week. Now Mom joins in with Dad as the therapist puts him through the paces! With the stricter lockdown rules, I am blessed to be here on site with them, and so I am able to do laundry and groceries, since my brother and sister cannot leave their homes. It is not a coincidence that GOD brought me here at this time!

 
Praise God

Blessing packages are still being delivered to church plants in the countryside back in Cambodia. There is still freedom of movement, and as of a couple of weeks ago, churches were reopened with the new COVID precautions! There have been no deaths due to COVID-19!

SHARING BLESSING PACKAGES AS WELL AS THE WORD IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Prayer Request

Economically, however, the country has suffered with factories having to close due to overseas contracts being cancelled. The garment factories employed a high percentage of Khmer, so with the unemployment, the need to provide for families has grown much higher. Pray that many would NOT turn to illegitimate ways of earning money.


Praise God

Two NGOs with whom I partner in prayer, Prison Fellowship Cambodia and BRAVE Ministry, have been instrumental in getting medical care and blessing packages of groceries out to those in the prisons and in the poorer areas in the countryside. I am honored to be prayer partnered with the Executive Director of PFC, Oun Muylen, the first Khmer female director of PFC, and Mel, who is the female director of BRAVE ministry!

 
Praise God

At New Life Foundation church, discipleship courses have been reinstated on Sundays after being online, and it is a joy to see the next generation teaching their younger counterparts about the Bible and having a relationship with Jesus!

DISCIPLESHIP CLASS

Praise and Pray

Global Leadership Cambodia, which will have the conference on Feb 17-18th, has had the highest pre-enrolment for the conference ever and this is during COVID-19 time! We have those represented from the government, corporate, and education sectors. It has been amazing to have those in high leadership positions pay to attend and to listen to top speakers who have spiritual influences within their own spheres! Many who will attend do not have a relationship with Jesus so they get to hear through these speakers of how to be servant leaders as role-modeled by Jesus the Christ! Please pray that the logistics to setting up the translation, the IT needed (because it is live online) will be accomplished without any snags!

 
I am enjoying listening to our own Pastor TJ online, and I am praying for the creativity as we adjust to sharing about our faith in Jesus!

 

Thank you for continuing to be my dance partners as I minister to those He has given to me! 


Love, His Warrior and Disciple, 

Submitting to be His Dance partner here in Cambodia, 

Your sister, Vidya
