親愛的主內弟兄姊妹們,平安:
聖經都是 神所默示的、於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義、都是有益的.叫屬 神的人得以完全、豫備行各樣的善事。(提後3:16-17)
我們從加拿大的卡加利向你們問安!幾星期前,月甜收到活石堂一位會友發來的短信說:她夢見神用大雨和洪水來毀滅世界和活在其中的人。洪水氾濫時,只有持有船票的人才可進入大船。她看見水勢浩大,要淹沒山嶺。很多人在水中,有些基督徒朋友也在其中。她一隻手抱著一個小女孩,拚命要去安全的地方。當她驚醒過來時,覺得非常害怕和沒盼望。月甜與她分享馬太福音24章中幾節經文,並請她細讀全章。而天父在創世記9章中以虹為記,不再用洪水毀滅世界。她在一個基督教團體中工作,可算是信得比較好的姊妹。本地人沒有閲讀的習慣,連基督徒對神的話語也只是一知半解!她回覆說因聖經的話語得到安慰,成為她生活中的力量。當我們在柬埔寨同工Zoom祈禱會中分享這事時,沙域感激約瑟帶領同工在每天早上靈修,一起讀聖經,他們現在仍然繼續堅持去做。主的話實在美好,請在禱告中記念同工能帶動會友渴慕神的話。
感恩事項:
- 有新的年青人來參加聚會。布柏是其中一位,她是伴理的朋友。伴理今年中學會考有優良成績,獲得獎學金,並入住一間由基督教辦的宿舍。他是活石堂其中一位司琴。
- 女傳道沙域教新光幼稚園媬姆識字班,學員亞瑞現在可以讀聖經和唱聖詩。
- 在新冠肺炎的變種病毒之下,我們及兒孫們有健康的身體。
求恩事項:
- 柬埔寨財政局要求用電腦重新登記所有機構的資料,但指引未有清楚說明如何申報。求主賜宣教同工高姊妹有智慧去了解財政部的要求,和用電腦程式輸入資料。
- 新光幼稚園需要聘請兩位英文老師,現在因缺乏老師,不能多收學生。
- 在新光幼稚園附近有一間新生命學校,是新生命教會開辦的。我們現正跟他們聯絡,希望將入小學年齡的孩子送到他們的學校,這樣小孩子可以在基督教學校中繼續成長。
- 我們曾為Som Neang禱告,她現在回了家中與丈夫一起住。請為她的靈命成長,及為她的丈夫能信主禱告。
- 美美三年前在佈道會中信主,兩星期前她在活石堂聚會後,要求為她被邪靈困擾禱告。請為她能得著釋放及靈命成長。
多謝你們的禱告和支持我們在柬埔寨的事工。有空可以分享你們的近況,我們可以彼此代求。
主內
約瑟,月甜上
Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Greetings from Calgary, Canada! Recently Liza got a message from one of the members from the Living Stone Church in Cambodia about her dream. In her dream she saw God came and judged the world by sending rain and flood to destroy the world. Anyone who had a ticket could get into the big boat. The flood came and covered the land and mountains; she saw many people and even Christian friends were in the water. She was holding a girl and tried to get to a safe place! When she woke up, she was very scared and hopeless. Liza shared some verses from Matthew 24 and asked her to read the whole chapter. She wrote back and was relieved because she is one of the chosen ones and that God will not use flood to destroy the world again as is recorded in Genesis 9:11. She works in a Christian NGO and comes to church regularly; she is a more mature Christian. For most Cambodians they don’t have a habit of reading. Even for Christians they are not familiar with the words of God. We shared this with our Khmer staff during our zoom prayer meeting. Savy expressed her appreciation for reading God’s words 5 mornings a week with Joseph before until now. She knows more about God’s words and where to find the verses. She is keen to teach God’s words to our members. Praying that our staff, church members will thirst after His words.
Praise items:
- There have been more young people coming to our Living Stone Church; one of them is Bopha, a friend of Ponleu. Ponleu is the one who graduated with high honor from high school. He is now admitted to a Christian dormitory which provides free food and lodging. It’s a relief to him because he has no family in Phnom Penh. He is one of the pianists for the Sunday worship.
- Savy is keen to teach the church members to study God’s words! The reason why she teaches the nannies at our Sonlight Kindergarten is for them to learn the Khmer language so that they can read God’s words on their own.
- Ourselves, our children and grandchildren are healthy despite the rising number of covid cases in our city.
Prayer items:
- The Department of Finance in Cambodia has a new policy to computerize all information ofbusiness, foreign organizations and even Non-Government Organizations. So far, we haven’t had any information on how to do it. Angel Gao needs wisdom and patience to do this for our mission.
- Our Sonlight Kindergarten is still looking for 2 English teachers.
- We have contact with “New Life School” to see the opportunity to send our students to their grade school so that the students can have Christian environments and values after they leave us. This school is very near to us, and many students are from this area.
- Som Neang whom we asked for prayer has moved back to her husband. Please pray for her relationship with her husband and her faith in God will grow, and the salvation of her husband.
- Mei Mei, who received Jesus into her life during Franklin Graham’s meeting about 3 years ago, has seen evil spirits at night. She came forth to receive prayers 2 weeks ago after the Sunday service. Pray that she will have total deliverance and grow in her faith.
Thank you so much for your prayer and support for our work in Cambodia! Let us know how we can pray for you too.
In His service,
Joseph and Liza Ng
