親愛的親友及主內兄姊們平安:

從柬埔寨向你們問安!我們在9月15日回到金邊,感恩很快已習慣了時差和生活。回來之後,很高興看見教會和幼稚園有新面孔。新光幼稚園和託兒所是沒有暑假的,今年立憲日是在9月24日,而亡人節在9月27-29日,於是幼稚園放假一星期。在沒有上課的日子,我們清洗幼稚園午睡的被鋪,和住在附近的同工一同修理桌子。我們在這假期也有時間休息,看書和定計劃。

柬埔寨人在亡人節前的十四天,會帶食物去最少七間廟宇祭祀先人。對基督徒來說是個屬靈爭戰的日子,因為家人會認為信主的人不照著這樣做是不孝。但我們的主耶穌已經勝過撒旦的權勢,亡人節正日那天是星期日,但回來敬拜的人數沒有減少。

10月14日是加拿大感恩節,我們要因天父賜的厚恩來感謝祂。很多時我們看見所發生的事並不美好,但天父卻用這些來教導我們更加去依靠祂!「我們曉得萬事都互相效力、叫愛 神的人得益處、就是按他旨意被召的人。」(羅馬書八28)

以下是感恩事項:

  1. 教會聚會人數增加,有新人來參加聚會。
  2. 幾個月前有一對夫婦因為一些誤會而不返教會,現在他們回來聚會了。
  3. 幼稚園和託兒所都有新的小朋友來讀書。
  4. 一年簽證已做好了。

請為我們的需要代禱:

  1. 新光幼稚園需要兩位老師和一位接待員。舊的接待員被主任揭發偷竊金錢而辭職。她曾接受主,請為她的生命禱告。
  2. 請為波拉(Bora)弟兄禱告,幾年前他是教會敬拜隊成員,但後來沒有來聚會,上星期日他來聚會並和月甜分享了他一些個人的問題。
  3. 前反對黨領袖桑蘭西流亡於國外,計劃11月中回國,請為柬埔寨的和平與秩序禱告。
  4. 約瑟會在10月21日回港看醫生,如証實是小腸氣便會做手術。

多謝你們的代禱和支持。有空請來信,我們可以互相代求。

約瑟,月甜上

 


Dear Family, brothers and sisters in the Lord,

Greetings from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We arrived safely on September 15th! Praise the Lord, we have adjusted well to the weather and life in here quickly. So good to see friends, meet new people and children in the kindergarten. Because Pchum Ben holiday was on 27-29, we had a week off for the kindergarten and nursery. Good that we could rest and did some planning and reading books.

Two weeks before the Pchum Ben, people go to at least seven Buddhist temples to offer food to the dead ancestors. So, the spiritual warfare is very real. However, our God is greater than the evil forces. We are thankful that the Sunday worship was well attended.

October 14th is the Thanksgiving Day for Canada. There are many things we need to be thankful for. Sometimes all thing happened may not be good according to our eyes, but God has His own way to lead and to teach us. The verse in Roman 8:28 is very true. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

The followings are our thanksgiving items:

  • There has been a slight increase of attendance on Sunday worship. Some new faces show up. One couple stopped coming to church several months ago due to personal conflict. They started to come back this month.
  • There are many new children at our kindergarten and nursery.
  • Our retirement visas are approved.

Please pray for our needs:

  • We need to find two more teachers and a new receptionist. The old one left after being caught taking money from our school. Pray that she will find the Lord.
  • Pray for the early morning prayer meeting from Mondays to Fridays at 6:30am. So far there are 2 people. Pray for more will join.
  • Pray for Bora who backslid for several years. Last week he came back to church because of some problems. Pray that God’s word can encourage him.
  • Pray for peace and safety in Cambodia. The outed opposition leader, Sam Rainsy will come back in early November.
  • Joseph will go to Hong Kong to see a doctor to confirm if he has hernia. If so, he will have hernia repair operation.

Thank you for praying! We sure love to hear from you too!

In His service,
Joseph and Liza Ng

親愛的親友及主內兄姊們平安:

        時間過得真快,我們來加拿大已經兩個月,會在九月十四日回柬埔寨。天父在過去的日子向我們顯明祂是信實的父。「我的好處不在你以外。」(詩16:2)這兩個月我們多了時間安靜、讀經和禱告。星期日我們與女兒欣義和女婿一同去西人教會聚會,因為那間教會的聖經教導,我們得著餵養。跟著我們去參加華人教會崇拜,在同文化的會友中能有好的相交。星期二早上有一個給年長人士參加的靈命禱告會,星期三晚參加華人教會禱告會。

Dear Family, brothers and sisters in the Lord,

        Time goes so fast; we have been in Calgary, Canada for two months already. We will go back to Cambodia on 14th September. God has been faithful and so good to us. For He is taking care of us in different areas. Spiritually we have more time to read His word and pray. On Sundays we go to our daughter’s church where we are fed spiritually with powerful preaching of God’s word. Then we go to a Chinese church where we have wonderful fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ. Every Tuesday morning, we join a Spiritual Life Gathering where we worship and pray in the English church and we join the Wednesday evening prayer meeting at the Chinese church.

        We are thankful for the medical benefits in Canada. Our medical needs have been taken care of. As we are aging, we have some minor physical problems. Liza has been going for physiotherapy for some muscles pain on her right pelvic area. After three weeks of exercise and stretching as instructed by the physiotherapist, Liza’s pelvic pain has reduced.

        Joseph received good report on his medical needs. Recently he has some pain in his lower left abdomen. The family doctor suspected that he has hernia. Joseph is going to see a specialist on August 26. We are told people has to wait for about a year to have it operated.

Praise items:

  • The church and the school are doing well in Cambodia.
  • Through WhatsApp and Messenger, we can encourage church members in the field through God’s words and pray for their needs.
  • Patrick, our son in law will start an engineering job in September.
  • Simeon our eldest son’s work contract was renewed for another year.

Prayer items:

  • For Joseph’s appointment with the specialist about his suspected hernia problem.
  • There are two special meetings in Calgary on August 31. One is an outreach program in the afternoon. We have invited Mr. Lin, Liza’s nephew, and his wife and a friend Mr. Wong to attend. Pray that God will move in their hearts.
  • Another thanksgiving meeting is at a house of a retired couple in the evening. They asked us to share the needs of our church in Cambodia as well. They are expecting more than thirty people to attend.
  • Preparation to go back to Cambodia on September 14 for six months this time.

        Thank you for praying and your support in different ways!

In His name,

        五月開始下雨,湄公河有足夠的水給水力發電,不再停電。另一個好消息是市政府將會修理教會附近的去水渠,但要封路兩至三個多月,工程才能完成。盼望以後下大雨時教會門前不會水浸。

Dear brothers, sisters in Christ and friends,

        Greetings from Calgary, Canada. We have been here since 10th June after a month in Cambodia. During the month in Cambodia, we are thankful to see that God keeps the church in track. There has been newcomers and old ones come to worship. New groups have started or are going to start – Chinese class, English class, men’s group, ladies’ group and baptismal class.

        By God’s grace Sonlight Kindergarten’s staff issue was solved. The old administrator left to start her own business. Another teacher wanted to resign and start business but stays to do administrative works and teach English class in the afternoon as well. Right now, we hired a teacher that she is being trained so that she can teach when the two part-time teachers will leave at the end of July after their college graduation. God is so good for His provision and His timing is always the best.

        Happy to see that there is no electricity shortage in many areas of Phnom Penh, the capital since the start of the rainy season in May. Another good news is that the city is fixing the sewers and the bridge in our area, Stung Mean Chey. Hopefully after the whole project is done in two to three months the streets in both side of our church building will not get flooded during and after heavy rain.

        Thank you so much for your partnership and support by praying, caring and giving! Please continue to praise and uphold us in prayers:

Praise items:

  • Living Stone Church is growing gradually with newcomers and old ones who has not come for a while.
  • We got news from Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia that the Department of Cults and Religion is taking a survey of all the churches and small groups. They promise to help the churches.
  • There has been no power disruption since May. That makes life easier. Thanks for the rain which rises the water level in the Mekong River which helps hydro power generation.
  • The city is fixing the sewer system in our area. Hopefully there will not be any flooding around our church building.
  • God is faithful in providing enough staff for Sonlight Kindergarten.

Prayer items:

  • Our church worker, Phalla is taking a module course in counselling. Pray that through learning and he will be healed of his own issues in life. During church prayer meeting he admitted that he needs to deal with fear.
  • Pray for wisdom and godly example for our kindergarten’s new administrator and the staff will respect her and work in harmony.
  • Pray for our sons and daughter and their families that their lives will exemplify Jesus.
  • Continue to pray for Saran who has hepatitis B and C. Her son Hua has a lump in his neck at the back of his right ear. He will get a biopsy in July.
  • We will stay in Canada for medical consultations from 14th June to 14th September. Please pray for our health and peace.

        Thank you for praying. Let us know if you have anything that you want us to pray for!

In Him,

親愛的親友及主內兄姊們平安:

        哈利路亞!我們的主耶穌基督已從死裡復活,勝過死亡的毒鉤(林前15:55)。讓我們見證耶穌復活的大能,並像使徒保羅只誇耶穌的十字架。

        我們住在卡加利,參與當地教會的聚會;最近在恩道神學院上箴言書的密集課程。每星期兩天去大兒子家中幫忙看他的三個孩子。約瑟也有機會分享柬埔寨的需要和講道。在與弟兄姊妹交通時知道他們關心我們,並在禱告中記念我們。

        中風兩星期之後,約瑟94歲的母親在3月7日安息主懷。她有4個兒子,11個孫兒,19個曾孫。我們在3月30日為她舉行生命慶典和安葬禮。約瑟記得童年時臨睡前,母親在床邊為他禱告。母親,我們懷念您!但現在您已去了一個更美的家鄉,與天父同在。

        我們為著加拿大的醫療保健感恩。每年有定期健康檢查,今年的檢查結果沒有問題,只是月甜的血壓高了些,需要留意一下,現時未需要服藥。約瑟的藥物調教後有良好反應,感謝主!

        運用微信和WhatsApp等通信設備,我們能與柬埔寨的同工及會友們保持聯絡。大家能分享聖經的亮光並彼此鼓勵。我們會在5月11日回柬埔寨,到時能見證天父在柬埔寨的作為。

感恩事項:

  1. 約瑟在調教藥物後有良好的反應。
  2. 活石堂購置了價錢合理的發電機。今年柬埔寨乾旱,湄公河的水少了,因不夠水力發電而常常停電。盼望六月雨季後能有足夠的雨水。
  3. 我們能與家人團聚並能探望五名孫兒。
  4. 約瑟94歲的母親在3月30日舉行生命慶典,有二百人參加。我們會在天上再見。
  5. 可以用WhatsApp和微信等科技與柬埔寨的同工、會友通訊。

求恩事項:

  1. 莎林姊妹有丙形肝炎多年未得醫治,她的信心軟弱,請記念她。
  2. 新光幼稚園需要聘請老師和行政主任。
  3. 4月14至16日是柬埔寨新年,會友回鄉探親後信主的心能站立得穩。
  4. 需要有新宣教士來接替我們。
  5. CEM Cambodia的註冊需要續期。
  6. 我們五月回柬埔寨的簽證。

        謝謝您們在多方面的支持和代禱!請繼續為我們禱告。

主內

Dear friends and family,

        Hallelujah, our Lord Jesus Christ is alive! He is no longer in the grave; He has conquered the sting of death! May we experience the resurrected power of Jesus. Let us boast Christ alone and His cross just as Apostle Paul encourages us to do!

        During our stay in Calgary, Canada we have kept busy in joining church activities and a module course studying Proverbs organized by Ambrose University.  We also are helping one of our sons’ family two days a week because he has three young children. Joseph shared God’s word and our ministry in Cambodia in two occasions. It is great to fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ and know that they care and pray for us.

        Two weeks after a stroke, the mother of Joseph went to be with the Lord on 7th March at age 94. Joseph remembers fondly how she prayed with him before bed time when he was young. She has four sons, eleven grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren. There was a celebration of her life on March 30th. We will miss her but are glad that she is with God our Father in heaven now!

        We are thankful for the medical care of Canada. We had our yearly check up and everything is fine except Liza’s blood pressure is a bite high. The doctor told her to watch it before prescribing medication for her. Joseph went to see his specialist and had his medication adjusted. Now he is doing well and energized.

        Through WeChat, WhatsApp and Messenger, we are keeping in close touch with our staff and church members in Cambodia. We share and encourage each other with the word of God. We are looking forward to going back to Cambodia on 11th May and seeing what the Lord is doing there.

        Thank you for your partnership with us and your support in different ways especially your prayers. Please continue to uphold us in your prayers.

Praise items:

  • Medication for Joe has been adjusted.
  • A new generator was bought for our church/school for there has been power outage in Cambodia because of low water level in Mekong River. Hopefully the situation will improve in June when the rain comes.
  • Good time with our children and grandchildren.

Prayer items:

  • Please pray for Sarin of Living Stone Church. She has hepatitis C that she will trust God for healing.
  • Sonlight Kindergarten needs new teachers and an administrator because the old one wants to start her own business.
  • Khmer New year is on April 14th to 16th this year. Please pray for protection from evil spirits for our church members and school staff when come back from their hometowns.
  • New missionary to takeover our ministry in Cambodia.
  • Renewal of registration for CEM Cambodia.
  • We need visa for returning to Cambodia in May.

        Thank you. Keep in touch and let us know if you have anything that you want us to pray for you!

In Him,

        我們準備退休,今年起,會多次來回加拿大和柬埔寨,兩地停留各半時間。約瑟的醫生需要半年時間來調教他現在每天需要服用的藥物。我們在二月四日去了加拿大,現在的氣溫是零下20度左右,如有寒風吹襲,氣溫會降至零下40度。但在室內有暖氣便會很舒服。

求恩事項:

  1. 我們進入退休的過渡時期。
  2. 我們的兩個兒子、兒婦、女兒和她的丈夫都能熱心愛主。
  3. 教會有會友結婚兩年便離婚,祈求天父憐憫他們,叫他們的心靈得醫治。
  4. 珍妮(Chantie)在聖誕節前開始返教會並接受主,但現在停止了聚會,她因為未信的丈夫而拒絕我們去探望她。請為她的信心能站立得穏禱告。

Dear friends and family,

        Happy Chinese New Year and a fruitful year to come! We have exciting things to share since the last time we wrote in December 2018. Thank you for praying for the Christmas celebration of Sonlight Kindergarten. It went well and more parents attending than we anticipated. The students sang, played music with the bells, xylophone and read book. Every student was involved in something.

        Christmas celebration at church drew some new friends and old friends who came before. We had worship, sermon, special songs from ladies, youth, children, Khmer traditional dance and lastly finished with chicken curry meal. We all enjoyed ourselves very much.

        Another highlight is the drawing of a mural (big picture) on the outside wall of our church building and repainting of our gates. The Hong Kong team organized by our mission did a very beautiful and awesome job! While they were drawing, people of all ages stopped and admired at the beauty of the drawing. It shows the wonderful creation of God with the sun, rainbow, animals and flowers. An amazing thing happened is that we had about 15 students enrolled for our kindergarten and a few toddlers to our nursery.

        God did another wonderful work in our church; at the end of January our church committee with five members was set up. Phalla was willing to be our local pastor. He and his wife, Savy served with us at the start of Living Stone Church for three years; then he resigned and worked for Christian Broadcasting Network for about seven years. But his wife stayed in our church and has been with us ever since.

        We are at awe of what God has been doing as we are preparing for retirement. Thank you so very much for supporting us through different ways, especially your prayers and care. As we went through challenges in serving God in Cambodia your prayers and care helped us to go on and of course with God’s calling to stay on. We are now planning to stay in Cambodia as missionary advisor for half a year and half a year in Canada each year. We have been in Calgary, Canada since February 4. It is very cold now; these few days the temperature went down to -24°C during day time. With the wind chill factor, it can get to-40°C.  But staying inside it’s warm and cozy.

        That’s all the news for now. Thank you for partnering with us in our mission service. Please continue to praise God and pray for our needs.

Praise items:

  • Church committee is formed with Phalla as the local pastor.
  • 15 more children enrolled to kindergarten after the mural is drawn on the outside wall of the church building.
  • 2 volunteer teachers from Australia came in last August 2018 and again in January 2019 to help training our teachers who are inspired by their teaching method and utilizing all our resources. They also reset the teaching curriculum and files. They did a fantastic job. Both are committed Christians which is a good testimony to our staff.

Prayer items:

  • Our transition period preparing for retirement.
  • Our two sons, daughter and their spouses that they will be closer to God and live a life pleasing to God.
  • One couple of our church just got divorced; please pray for healing and most of all that they can be reconciled by God’s love and grace.
  • Chantie came to our church shortly before Christmas and accepted Jesus as her Saviour and attended our church about four times. Then she fell and hurt her foot and stopped coming. She does not want us to visit her because of her unsaved husband. Please pray that she will stand firm in her in found faith.

        We’d love to hear from you and pray for you if you have any prayer requests!

In Him,

親愛的兄姊、親友們,主內平安:

        不經不覺2018年快將過去。柬埔寨是個佛教國家,沒有聖誕節假期,但對我們基督徒來說,大喜的信息是:「神愛世人、甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們、叫一切信他的、不至滅亡、反得永生。」主耶穌不單來到世上拯救我們,祂已從死裡復活,坐在父神的右邊,為我們祈求。

        活石堂的會友們為著今年在23日主日慶祝聖誕而興奮,我們印製了邀請卡去邀請親友和鄰居來參加。年青的婦女會在那天跳柬埔寨民族舞;青年人會用戲劇表達聖誕的意義;兒童主日學的孩子,將和弟兄團及姊妹團一起唱詩。一位有做手工藝恩賜的姊妹會來佈置教會。聖誕期間有由差會舉辦的短宣隊到訪,那日會有福音信息,預料今年聖誕節會有一個歡樂的時間。

以下是我們的讚美事項:

  1. 三個星期前有會友帶了她運動時認識的朋友返教會,我們向她傳福音,她願意信主。她名叫「真蒂」。
  2. 有一位有講道恩賜的會友,每個月幫忙講道一次,他名叫Laeng。
  3. 新光幼稚園主任上個月參加一「與神相遇」的聚會,之後有很大的改變。

以下是我們的代禱事項:

  1. 活石堂在12月23日慶祝聖誕節,願會友帶領未信主的朋友來參加。
  2. 新光幼稚園在12月21日有聖誕節聚會,會邀請家長參加。
  3. 社區中有不少人想學中文,計劃在明年一月開始辦中文班。現在有一位老師,希望能有多一兩位老師加入。
  4. 差會主辦的短宣隊會在12月22日來金邊,這次參與事工主要是油漆教會門口鐵閘,在向街道的牆上畫牆畫。這是一項艱巨的工程,請為他們的健康及安全求恩。

        多謝你們一直在多方面的支持及關懷!敬祝你們聖誕蒙福,新年結果纍纍!

主內                
約瑟,月甜上

Dear friends and family,

        For us Christians around the world Christmas is a joyous time of a year. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Jesus came not only to save us from sin but He has already been raised from dead and now He is in heaven by God’s right hand side interceding for us!!

        Our church family are all excited about Christmas celebration on December 23rd. They are passing invitations to family, friends and neighbors. The young ladies are practicing a Khmer dance. The youth group is practicing a drama. Children Sunday school kids are preparing for their songs and the lady’s group and men’s group also involve in singing. A lady who is talented in craft is making decorations. This year, a short-term mission team organized by our mission will also join us. We anticipate for a great time celebrating Jesus’ birthday!

The followings are our praise items:

  • About three weeks ago, a church member and his wife brought Chan-tie to church. They met her in the gym. She walked to the front after the sermon was preached and received Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
  • Laeng has been our pianist for many years. Recently he showed his gift of preaching. He is wiling to speak once a month.
  • Sokphearin, our administrator of Sonlight Kindergarten attended a seminar on “Encountering God”. She has changed a lot and her attitude is very positive.

The followings are our prayer requests:

  • Pray for Christmas celebration of our church on December 23 that we can share the meaning of the birth of Jesus may touch the hearts of the new comers.

親愛的主內兄姊及親友們:

        我們從柬埔寨向您們問安!在新聞中知道世界各地有海嘯或地震等天災,但神很恩待柬埔寨,這裡沒有颱風、地震等,但有雨季,特別附近國家打風時,我們這裡會下大雨。

        「你們是世上的光……你們的光也當這樣照在人前、叫他們看見你們的好行為、便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」(太五14、16)我們住的房子要經過一小路,途人常將垃圾隨便掉在地上。兩、三星期前有人打掃了這小路,但過了不到一天便有人將空的膠水瓶、小食用的膠袋和飲水的管子等雜物丟在路上。有一天,有人丟了一個透明膠袋,內有死老鼠。月甜覺得打掃小路乾淨後很舒服,提議每天回家時撿起一些垃圾。當鄰居看見我們兩個外國人在路上撿起垃圾時,起初他們覺得有點奇怪,慢慢在面上有了笑容。幾天後,有幾位男士合力將路面高低不平的地方填平了,現在垃圾少了很多。我們能做的不算多,但也能引起鄰居的共鳴,感謝主!

        活青足球隊在星期日下午青年團契後踢球,有十多人參加。每次踢球前有靈修時間,參加的青年人中,有未信主的家長不喜歡孩子返教會信耶穌,只是這幾位青年仍來參加團契和去踢球。請在禱告中記念他們有追求和接受真道的心。

        多謝你們一直的支持和代禱!請繼續在禱告中記念我們,以下是感恩和禱告事項。

感恩事項:

  1. 有位曾住在大學學生宿舍的舊生,現在任職教育部。他協助我們辦理幼稚園的註冊手續。
  2. 教會有新人來聚會,其中有活青足球隊的成員。
  3. 門訓領袖訓練班順利進行。

祈禱事項:

  1. 我們在柬埔寨事奉已經二十年了,現屆退休年齡,需要新宣教士。求主帶領合適的傳道來我們中間。
  2. 有一位弟兄曾任牧者多年,最近接觸他,知道他轉了去與他的弟弟一起做工。我們鼓勵他重回牧職,但教會能給他的薪酬比他現有的低,他答應會好好為這事禱告。請記念他能得到天父的引領。
  3. 請繼續為昂震(Oun Chen)弟兄禱告,他的頸長了一個拳頭般大的腫瘤。
  4. 亞Nick在過去幾個月瘦了6至7公斤。她與丈夫和女兒曾來我們教會聚會,只因與一位會友發生誤會,就沒有來聚會了,請記念他們屬靈和身體的需要。
  5. 有些青年人會考不合格,請為他們的前途禱告,求天父給他們智慧選擇升讀副學士還是職業訓練。那些會考合格的同學能考入大學,但有些需要助學金才能上大學。請記念他們!
  6. 有三名女大學生將會在十一月大學一下學年開課時入住女生宿舍,請為她們從外省搬來金邊生活,又記念她們能與其他宿生融洽相處。

        謝謝!願天父祝福你們!

Dear friends and family,

        Greetings from the hot and wet Cambodia! Even though the typhoons and monsoons do not hit Cambodia but is also affected by the weather in the surrounding countries. Cambodia is really blessed by God with not much natural disasters. We are saddened by the devastation and destruction brought by earthquakes, tsunami, hurricane around the world.

        Recently we are reminded by the verse in Matthew 5:14,16: “You are the light of the world…. Let your light so shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” There is a small road that leads to our house and people and children used to throw away their garage there. Two weeks ago, the garbage along the road was removed and taken care of. A day after there were garbage of water bottles; candy and biscuits wraps, plastic bags and straws again and one day even a plastic bag with a dead rat. So, Liza started to pick up the garbage before she went home. At first when people saw this foreign old lady picking up the garbage they thought it was strange, then after a few days they had a big smile on their face! After a week, there is not much waste any more. After several days, a few men were putting stones and cement to fill the uneven parts of the road. Praise the Lord whatever small thing we do for others there is influence to the people around us.

        Thank you for supporting and praying for us over these years. Please continue to remember us. These are our praise and prayer items:

Praise Items:

  1. A former dorm student who works in the Ministry of Education helps in our registration of our kindergarten. Praise God that we do not need to pay bribe to the official whom we met in a district office.
  2. Some new comers come to church, some are not Christians so that we have opportunity to witness to them.
  3. Our Disciple-Maker class goes well.

Prayer items:

  1. We have been serving in Cambodia as missionaries for about 20 years already. Please pray for the smooth transition into retirement in the future.
  2. There is a pastor and family met with us talking about working as staff in our church. He mentioned that they are going to pray about it. The main concern is the salary that we offer does not match up what he is earning now. Please pray for God’s leading.
  3. Oun Chen who has a tumor on his neck around his throat still needs our prayers.
  4. Nick is losing about 6 to 7 kilos in the past few months. She and her husband and daughter used to attend our church. But they stopped because of some misunderstanding between another member. We tried to talk with them but no result. Please pray for her healing physically and emotionally and spiritually.
  5. Some young people did not pass the grade 12 state examination. Please pray for God’s guidance whether going to work, to study for diploma or vocational skills. As for those who passed the examination, some of them need help to pay tuition for going to university.
  6. There will be three ladies coming to stay in our dorm in November when school starts. Please pray they will get along with other ladies and that they will know the Lord.

        Thank you. May God bless you!

In His service,

One of the highlights this month is the celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary. We celebrated with a delicious cake after the Sunday Service. Through all these years we have experienced ups and downs as all couples go through. Only the love of our Father keeps us together and makes our relationship stronger!

        感謝天父的看顧,施恩憐憫幫助我們解決工作証的問題。柬埔寨基督教聯會協助我們申請外國資助証明書,他們也幫忙重新辦理教會的註冊事宜。

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, friends and family,

        Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! The world just celebrated Father’s Day; it gives us opportunity to show our love to our fathers who brought us up, cares for and loves us! It reminds us the great love of our Father in heaven. Romans 8:14-16 say “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;” Sometimes our own fathers might disappoint us but our Heavenly Father is always there to guide and help us. How comforting to know we are God’s own children, not servants!

        We are thankful that our Father helped us through the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia to get a card saying that we are missionaries supported by foreign fund, so we don’t need to apply for work permit. They also are helping to process the renewal of our church’s registration.

        Thank you very much for caring for and supporting us through many ways. Please continue to remember our praise and prayer items.

Praise items:

  1. There are 3 brothers and 2 sisters who were baptized into the name of Jesus Christ in May.
  2. There is more enrolment of students in our kindergarten and toddlers in our nursery.
  3. Our daughter, Lydia and her husband, Patrick have moved to Calgary, Canada since March. Lydia has been working since a month ago. Patrick is applying his permanent residency before the can work.

Prayer items:

  1. Please remember the registration of our church; a brother whose name we used went home to heaven and now we changed into another person.
  2. Recently the Cambodian government has many new policies about foreign companies, NGOs and institutions. Before we didn’t need to register kindergarten under the umbrella of a church. Please pray that things will process smoothly.
  3. Please pray for the faith of “Wood” who was baptized in May. Because his parents do not want him to believe in Jesus, he is not allowed to come to church.
  4. There are 6 young people will write the grade 12th examination; please pray for wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
  5. For a peaceful election for prime minister in July 29th.

        Thank you for your prayers and support!

親愛的親友及主內兄姊們平安:

        哈利路亞!我們的主耶穌已經復活並勝過那惡者!祂永遠活著!我們像那兩個門徒,在以馬忤斯路上遇到耶穌,並與祂談話,但因眼睛迷糊、不知道是祂。他們的眼睛未看到復活的耶穌,心中仍然悲傷。我們像門徒哀慟哭泣(可十六10),也像多馬要看見主手上的釘痕和用手探入祂的肋旁才信。很多時我們被過去的傷痛,無望,憂慮和恐懼蒙蔽,叫我們的眼睛迷糊而忘記祂的恩典和慈愛。我們今天能得到安慰是因祂活著,祂已升上高天,坐在全能者的右邊,並在五旬節賜下另一位安慰者,聖靈成為我們的保惠師。祂並沒有撇下我們為孤兒。因此我們體會到以馬內利,主仍與我們同在。

        四月十四至十六日是柬埔寨新年。每逢過年時,柬埔寨人會換新的神靈,家家戶戶會上香、拜祭等,佛堂更會給青年人開派對。信徒中有未信的家人和朋友的,會有很大壓力,求主賜信徒有堅強的信心。

        多謝你們用不同途徑來支持我們的事工,特別用禱告記念我們。請繼續頌讚看顧我們的天父,以下是感恩及禱告事項:

感恩事項:

  1. 我們在四月十六至十八日參加了一個由「天父心」事工舉辦的退修會,主題是:如何經歷天父的愛,我們都是天父所愛的兒女,是祂所喜悅的。
  2. 活石堂和新光幼稚園的同工們有好的配搭。
  3. 柬埔寨基督教聯會EFC有消息來說宣教士不用申請工作證。

祈禱事項:

  1. 屬節弟兄和家人已參加活石堂多年,最近發生誤會令他很生氣;他不返教會,也不讓太太和女兒返教會。請在禱告中記念他和他的家人,能在天父的愛中解決問題。
  2. 教會的註冊需要更新,請記念。
  3. 女兒欣義和女婿帕特里·南成(Patrick Ramsing)在卡加利定居。女兒在找工作,女婿申請加拿大移民。也請為他們能找到一所屬靈的家禱告。
  4. 約瑟患睡眠窒息症,請代禱。

        謝謝你們!願天父的愛擁抱你們及祝福你們。

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Hallelujah! Our Lord Jesus has conquered death and the evil one! He is alive indeed!! Many times, we are like the two disciples who were going to Emmaus.  They were sad and told Jesus who appeared to them that Jesus was dead. We are like the disciples who mourn and weep. We are also like Thomas who did not believe until he saw and touched Jesus’ hands and side. We are occupied with our hurts, hopelessness, worries and fears that we forget that Jesus is alive and His promise of sending another comforter, the Holy Spirit during Pentecost. We now have the power to overcome our sins and problems!

        We are grateful that you have been supporting our ministry through different ways and especially your prayers. Please continue to praise our Father who loves and cares for us, and please remember our prayer requests:

Praise items:

  1. On April 16-18 we attended a conference for Christian workers under Fatherheart ministries. We are reminded that we are the beloved sons and daughters of our Father. We just need to open our hearts to receive His love and guidance.
  2. Our staff at Living Stone Church and Sonlight Kindergarten work together well.
  3. We just got words from Evangelical Fellowship Cambodia that as missionaries who do not receive salary from Cambodia do not need to apply for work permit.

Prayer requests:

  1. Sochet and his family have attended our church for some years; recently he had some misunderstanding with one of our part time staff. Now he’s angry; not only he doesn’t come to church and he doesn’t allow his family to come. Please pray that our Father’s love will fill him and heal his bitterness and hurt.
  2. We are still working on the renewal of our church registration.
  3. Lydia and Patrick have arrived in Calgary about 2 weeks ago. Lydia is applying for a job with the city and Patrick is applying for the permanent residency. Please pray for our Father’s provision and His leading to a church for worship and fellowship.

        Thank you. May our Father in heaven bless you.

Joseph and Liza
