各位主內弟兄姊妹平安：

　　我們在柬埔寨向您們問安！當我們寫這代禱信時，心中充滿喜樂平安。天父實在好，祂看顧了我們，祂的愛實在長濶高深。祂不單洗去我們的罪，並賜我們豐盛的生命。

　　上次代禱信曾提及我們家前院的芒果樹開始結果，現在已是收成的尾聲。我們與屋主、鄰居及同工們分享這些果子時，深願主的恩典也在他們中間。

　　一月七日教會在絲綢之島舉行水禮和戶外活動，有七人受洗加入教會。其中四位是幼稚園的教師和職員。

　　每主日崇拜後都有青年主日學，約瑟教三元福音佈道。請記念學員能將福音講述清楚。

　　多謝您們的支持，鼓勵和在禱告中記念我們。以下是感恩和求恩的事項：

　　感恩：

1. 三月時有兩位幼稚園老師加入，一位全職，一位半職。
2. 在過去兩個月有兩位19和20歲從丹麥來短宣的年青女士幫忙於幼稚園教學。她們二人充滿活力、創意，又幫助教師預備教材。
3. 三月頭有兩位退休老師來幫助我們，她們來了幾天但有很好的提議給幼稚園。
4. 有一位從香港來的老師來了一個月協助教學和老師訓練。
5. 四月五日在金邊有眾教會聯合舉辧主復活的大型聚會，柬埔寨教會能團結起來向柬埔寨政府官員、宗教部、佛教和伊斯蘭教領袖見証主已復活了。
6. 我們大兒子思義與太太小鳳會在八月時作第二任父母。

　　祈禱事項：

1. 珍婷，我們傳道的太太能完全康復。她患上結腸癌，二月二日開始昏迷了三天，醒來後視力無法集中。今天已可跟別人談話，可以坐起來，但未有胃口，未能下床。
2. 為我們團隊建立，能成為合主用的器皿。
3. 為教會的敬拜能進入心靈誠實的新領域。
4. 為兩位新老師能信主。
5. 為四月十四至十六日柬埔寨新年禱告，願居民能在歡樂中有平安。過往的新年都多有交通意外和醉酒生事。
6. 為幼兒院的小朋友和幼稚園的學生，近幾星期多有患上麻疹和流行性腮腺炎。

　　謝謝您們的代禱！願主復活的大能叫我們心中的力量如火挑旺，祝復活節快樂！

主內
約瑟，月甜上

Cambodia – Prayer Letter #40 (2015/3)

Dear Friends and family,

Greetings from Cambodia! As we are writing this letter, our hearts are full of praises and thanksgiving. God is good all the time! He loves and cares for us all the time. And our Lord is alive and we have victory over Satan and sin!!

In our last letter, we mentioned about the mangoes on the trees of our rented house. We’ve harvested most of them already; we shared with our landlord, neighbors, friends and staff. It is so great to share!! Pray that we will have opportunity to share more about Jesus.

On January 7, our church had our baptismal service in Silk Island. Seven got baptized. Four of them are staff of our school resulting from daily devotion.

During adult Sunday school, Joe is teaching Evangelism Equipping (formally Evangelism Explosion). We pray and hope that many fruit will result from this class.

Thank you so much to be part of our ministry by caring, giving and most importantly by prayer. Please continue to praise God with us and pray for our needs.

Praise items:

1. Starting in March we have two new teachers in our school, one full time and one part time.
2. For February and March, we have 2 Danish ladies helping in our school. They are 19 and 20 years old – full of energy and creativity.
3. In the beginning of March, we had 2 retired teachers from Hong Kong helping us for a few days. Another teacher from Hong Kong too helps us for the whole month of March. We learned so much from them.
4. There will be a joint Easter celebration on 5^th April in the Diamond Island Theater. This will be a big event; we also invite the government officials, Buddhist and Islamic leaders in order to testify our Lord has risen from the death.
5. Simeon, our eldest, and Phung are expecting their second child in August.

Prayer items:

1. That Chanty, our local pastor’s wife will be fully healed. She has 4 stage cancer and went into a coma a month ago. Now she is able to sit up for a while but weak and bed ridden.
2. For love and unity of our staff.
3. For our church worship team that they have a thirst to seek God in a deeper and new way.
4. For the salvation of our two new teachers.
5. For the Khmer New Year on April 14-16 that there will be less accidents due to fighting or drunkenness.
6. For our students and toddlers in our nursery– there are viruses of measles and mumps in recent weeks.

Thank you!  May our resurrected Lord Jesus grant you hope and victory in your lives!  Have a blessed Easter holiday.

In His service,
Joseph and Liza
