親愛的主內弟兄姊妹們，平安：
時間過得很快，我們回到加拿大卡加利已三個月了。在柬埔寨事奉二十多年後，我們很難與柬埔寨的會友、幼稚園的老師、媬姆和職員說再見。但我們離開時充滿信心，相信當地同工能夠在天父的恩典和帶領下，站起來領導教會和幼兒園。
我們已在卡加利定居下來，與女兒和女婿一起生活，享受退休生活。我們的另外兩個兒子和他們的家人也住在卡加利。很高興看到他們以及我們的三個孫子和三個孫女。這裡的生活相當忙碌，我們每週仍然透過網絡服侍當地傳道及弟兄姊妹，包括每週兩次與傳道波拿和他的太太沙域有兩次網上禱告會、與兩名年輕人每週一次查經、月甜與進修神學的兼職同工及其太太每週一次祈禱和查經。
波妮是波拿傳道同母異父的妹妹，今年3月8日受洗。上兩個月，她的母親反對她信耶穌和在她家中的查經班，她沒返教會一段時間，請為她的信心和未信主的媽媽禱告。
謝謝大家以禱告來支持我們！以下是我們的感恩和禱告事項：
感恩事項：
- 我們順利地在卡加利安頓下來，又可以享兒孫福。
- 能與兒子、女兒和孫兒們聯繫。
- 可以用網絡跟柬埔寨的同工和年青人查經和禱告。
代禱事項：
- 為當地同工能成為帶領會友們委身事奉神的榜樣。
- 為高姑娘有從天父賜的智慧來督導教會和幼稚園。
- 為我們的健康禱告，我們都是糖尿病前期。月甜的膽固醇高了些及有骨質疏鬆問題。
- 為我們的網絡查經班和祈禱會，能與柬埔寨同工，會友同行。
- 年青人湯的媽媽駕駛電單車時發生意外，撞傷了右腳的膝蓋。湯要在家中看顧媽媽，下午才返青年團契。

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,
Greetings from Calgary, Canada! Time passed by swiftly. We’ve been back for 3 months after our mission work in Cambodia. It’s difficult to say goodbye but we left with a confidence that the local staff can stand up to lead the church and the kindergarten with the grace and leading of our Heavenly Father.
It took us no time to settle down in Calgary where we live with our daughter and son in law for our retirement. Our 2 other sons and their families live in Calgary too. It’s so good to see them and our 3 grandsons and 3 granddaughters. Life here is quite busy as we still have prayer meetings with our staff twice a week and each of us has Bible study with the young people through zoom meetings. Liza continues to pray with our part time staff who is studying at the Bible school and his wife.
Please pray for Polly, the step sister of Phalla, our lead pastor, who was baptized in March. But because of the pressure from their unbelieving mother she has lost faith in God; she hasn’t been back to church for a while and does not want to study the Bible with Phalla and Savy at her house.
Thank you for your support and prayers for us. Here are our praise and prayer items.
Praise items:
- We settled in Calgary smoothly.
- Good times with children and grandchildren
- Opportunity to serve God through prayer meetings and Bible studies with the Khmer members.
Prayer requests:
- For the deeper commitment of the local staff to lead the church and kindergarten.
- For wisdom for Angel Gao to oversee the church and school.
- For our health – we have a few medical issues that are related to old age. However we are comforted by God’s words in Isaiah 53:5 “…the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.“
- The mother of Thon got a knee injury in a motorcycle accident. Please pray for healing.
All for now. Thanks again for remembering us.
In His name,
Joseph and Liza Ng
