柬埔寨在十一月尾爆發新冠肺炎，社區感染，學校停課，宗教聚會停止，婚姻註冊也不獲批准。預計今年不能夠舉行慶祝聖誕聚會，但願信徒能唱出普世歡騰的歌聲，全地都以祂為王。「耶和華在天上立定寶座，他的權柄統管萬有。」（詩103:19）因此我們不用害怕，並且得著平安，讓我們定睛仰望耶穌。

        今年11月3日匈牙利的外交官來柬埔寨訪問一天，後來到訪泰國時發現感染新冠肺炎。他在金邊時曾接觸過的人多達一千，於是全金邊市的學校都要停課兩星期。復課後不到一星期，28日金邊爆發新冠肺炎社區感染，有40人確診。結果學校又再停課，宗教聚會要取消，市內的娛樂場所要關閉，結婚要延期舉行，直到另行通知。

        多謝你們在多方面的支持和代禱。請繼續記念我們。

感恩事項：

1. 大學生女宿舍宿生茉莉的母親患了末期癌症，但她現在好轉了些。主在她身上有奇妙的作為，她能在家中煮飯和坐電單車去教會聚會。感謝天父聽禱告，並向她施慈愛。
2. 停課期間，學校的老師可以有時間進修，媬姆可以參加查經小組。其中有媬姆詩唐接受耶穌為主和救主。
3. 教會同工們在星期二至五早上有查經祈禱會，下午有專題查經。

祈禱事項：

1. 祈求天父叫新冠疫情在社區感染能早日受控制，生活能正常運作。教會能重開實體聚會，學校能早日開課。
2. 幼稚園老師淑邦有追求真道的心，她有心讀聖經，祈禱她能早日信主。
3. 教會同工想在明年1月7日舉行一天的退修會，祈求主對我們說話。
4. 今年教會計劃在12月27日慶祝聖誕，但因疫情可能要取消。
5. 請為天莉老姊妹的身體祈禱，她本來有糖尿病，現在牙痛，但因疫情不敢去看牙醫。

        多謝您們忠心為我們的需要禱告！多謝您們的支持和禱告，有空請來信告知您們的消息。

Dear Family and friends,

        As Christmas is coming soon, can we sing “Joy to the World” despite what is happening around us? The pandemic still haunts us; when is everything back to normal we may ask. As believers in God we believe that He is in sovereign control of all things. “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all (Psalm 103:19). That removes our fear and anxiety but instead it gives us inner peace.

        November is a hard month for us in Cambodia. On the 3rd because of the trade visit of the Hungarian minister who was tested positive with Covid 19 when landing in Thailand. There were 4 Cambodians tested positive. Then on 28th there was a community outbreak in Phnom Penh and other provinces. There have been 40 people tested positive so far. All schools were ordered to close for 2 weeks, entertainment centres, karaoke, gathering have been closed, and they do not issue new marriage licenses. As of now we have a new memo from the government that schools, religious gatherings, entertainment centers are closed until further notice.

        Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.

        Thanks for supporting us in all aspects. Appreciate that. Please continue to remember us:

Praise items:

• Our dorm lady, Dy Jasmine’s Mom who has cancer is doing better. She can cook for herself, ride the motorbike to church. Praise God and thanks for your prayers.
• Because of suspension of schools, our teachers upgrade themselves in teachings. The nannies in the nursery can have time in learning the Biblical truth. “Sithon” accepted the Lord as Savior!
• Besides the morning Bible study for our pastoral staff, we do topical Bible study in the afternoon.

Prayer items:

• The community outbreak on Covid 19 can be under control soon so school and church can reopen.
• Sorphorn, one of the teachers is seeking and has been reading the Bible. Pray that she can trust Jesus as her Savior.
• Our church staff will have a retreat on January 7 which is a holiday. Pray for openness to God’s words and one another.
• Christmas celebration is scheduled on 27th. It is likely we have to cancel it due to the community outbreak. Pray that our members will not be disappointed.
• Please pray for Tiri’s health who has diabetes and toothache. Because of Covid 19 she is hesitant to see a dentist.

Thank you so much. We would love to hear from you and pray for you!

In His service,
Joseph and Liza Ng
