親愛的親友，主內弟兄姊妹們平安：
不經不覺我們離開柬埔寨有4個月了！這段日子有很多事情發生令世人很擔憂：新冠肺炎的變種病毒蔓延，海地的強烈地震，中國及歐洲的水災，美國、加拿大西岸的山火等……還有最近阿富汗的動亂。
柬埔寨的新冠肺炎感染個案在8月開始緩和，因金邊市及一些市鎮採取2星期宵禁，但政府官員仍擔心變種病毒會快速傳播，到8月22日已有999宗個案！
求天父憐憫世人，讓這一切天災人禍都快快過去。但我們基督徒有指望，有平安！感謝神給祂的兒女之應許；祂在掌管一切，如詩篇29:10「洪水泛濫之時、耶和華坐著為王．耶和華坐著為王、直到永遠。」讓我們能儆醒禱告。
感恩，一些以前沒有參加活石堂網上崇拜的弟兄姊妹，最近都一同來崇拜；也多了些青少年人參加網上的青年聚會！願主讓他們能渴慕神的話語，靈命增長！
蒙神保守，我們很享受加拿大的生活，感謝祂滿滿的恩典！多謝大家給我們及柬埔寨事工的支持！請繼續為以下項目感恩及求恩。
感恩事項：
- 柬埔寨的新冠肺炎疫情在八月較緩和。
- 活石堂能用網上來舉行主日崇拜、青少年小組和祈禱會。
- 我們今年的身體檢查報告一切正常。
- 有機會與家人團聚。
代禱：
- 為波拿傳道和師母能帶領活石堂，跟隨神，領人信主，造就門徒。
- 淑布嬸的身體：她常感覺頭暈、失眠。求主幫助她能信靠祂，不要為家人及生活需要擔憂！
- 為活石堂能實體崇拜，新光幼稚園能復課。
- 約瑟會在11月1日做小腸氣手術。
- 月甜會做牙齒檢查和跟進，為她能找到好的牙醫。

約瑟，月甜上

Dear Family and friends,
Time has passed by so fast; we left Cambodia four months already! Many things are happening that are alarming to the world: new variants of Covid 19, the strong earthquakes in Haiti that killed thousands of people, the recent unrest in Afghanistan, wildfires in the west of USA and Canada, the floods in China and Europe.
The number of Covid 19 cases in Cambodia has been coming down in August because of the curfew in Phnom Penh and other cities. But the government is concerned that the Delta variant cases will be rising; they recorded 999 cases in 23 provinces as of August 22.
However, as Christians we do not need to be afraid because of the promise of God in Psalm 29:10 “The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, and the Lord sits as King forever.” Our God is still in control in the chaos of the world! All we need to do is to keep watch and pray!
Great to see more new faces on the Living Stone Church Sunday worship in zoom. The members are eager to join the worship service in person! Praise God more young people are joining the young people meeting in zoom.
We are doing well and enjoying the summer weather in Canada. Your support for us and the ministry in Cambodia is much appreciated. Please continue to praise God and pray for us.
Praises:
- the covid cases in Cambodia have been decreasing in August.
- More small groups have started with children and youth at Living Stone Church
- We had our yearly medical check up and everything is okay.
- Time spent with family is precious.
Prayers:
- Our pastor, Phalla can take up the leadership at Living Stone Church that more members will be discipled and many will be added to our church.
- Members at church can meet in person and Sonlight Kindergarten will be open soon.
- Sok Pow’s health – she can’t sleep and has fainting spells; she worries too much about her husband and children, and financial need.
- Joseph will have a hernia operation on November 1st this year.
- Liza will have major dental work; pray for wisdom for the dentist.
Thank you.
In Christ,
Joseph and Liza Ng
