從加拿大卡其利市向您們問安！我們3月中在加拿大尚未封城前回到這裡，近來新冠疫情緩和，這裡已漸漸解封。女兒欣義工作的商店已重開營業，女婿工作的工程公司已回復在寫字樓上班，但工作量不多，有時只在上午上班。雖然是部份解封，但仍要保持社交距離，所以也不能與兒孫們太接近。

        這次全球性的疫情引致很多商店和行業關門，柬埔寨也有不少弟兄姊妹的工作受影響，生活出現困難。整個世界在封城之下改變了，萬事都不能永存，只有天父的愛和信實永不改變。

        「耶穌基督，昨日，今日一直到永遠是一樣的。」（希伯來書十三8）我們只需剛強壯膽來到天父面前，不要疑惑，要存心仰望祂，相信祂仍然掌管萬有。「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）在萬變的世代中，天父是我們生命的錨，讓我們單單事奉祂、依靠祂。

        多謝您們一直在禱告和金錢上的支持，請繼續為我們求恩！

讚美事項：

1. 柬埔寨宗教部允准教會7月開始在禮拜堂集體崇拜聚會，活石堂地區的區長指示只能安排10人或以下的人數。波拿傳道安排主日早上有三堂聚會，下午有青年聚會。
2. 我們每星期二至五與金邊的同工在同一時間為柬埔寨的領袖，教會的領袖求復興，也為個人需要等事項禱告仰望天父。我們雖在遠方，但有無牆教會的感覺。
3. 三月封城時，女兒暫時停職，有兩個多月留在家中，感謝主她可以拿取失業金。女婿有三個月轉為居家辦公，於是我們每天有多點時間相處，享受家庭樂。天父補償了女兒10歲開始去寄宿學校與我們分離的時間。

禱告事項：

1. 活石堂有年長姊妹兩人——天莉（Tiri）和天蘭（Tiran）。天莉在2020年1月受洗加入教會。她們二人身體欠佳，天蘭的腳無力要坐輪椅返教會，請記念她們。
2. 柬埔寨教育部正在審核金邊十五間已註冊的國際學校在八月開課的可能性，但政府學校會在十一月送水節後才能復課。
3. 祈禱新光幼稚園能早日復課。
4. 我們計劃在9月21日回柬埔寨。現時柬埔寨政府要求旅客提供上機之前72小時要沒有新冠肺炎的檢驗報告；如乘搭時航機有人證實受到感染，全機乘客要在政府指定的地方隔離14天，另每人需要帶備美金三千元按金作為開支擔保，又要求旅客購買美金五萬元保額的旅遊保險。

        多謝您們的代禱和支持！有空請告知你們的近況，我們可以彼此在禱告中記念。

Dear Family and friends,

        Greetings from Calgary, Canada! We have been here since March before the lockdown in Canada. Staying home except going for walks around our neighborhood gives us more time to read God’s word and pray. Occasionally we see our sons and grandchildren. Because of social distancing, we are cautious not to hug and kiss them!!

        The world is and will be very different during and after the pandemic. It is only God’s love and faithfulness remain the same. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) So we need to come to God with boldness and trust Him because He is still in control of all that is happening in this world. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) Therefore we need to love Him by doing what He wants us to do.

        Thank you so much for supporting us and our ministry through your giving, prayers and concerns. Please continue to praise Him and pray for our requests:

Praise items:

• Starting in July the Living Stone Church in Phnom Penh reopened for worship. According to the District Chief, there is a limit of 10 people gathering together. Pastor Phalla organized three services on Sunday morning and one youth meeting in the afternoon.
• We have been able to pray with our staff in Cambodia four days a week at the same time. We feel closer with each other.
• Living with Lydia, our daughter and her husband, Patrick gives us more time to talk and share about life. She was temporarily laid off from work for about two months. This is to make up the time while she was away in boarding school when she was 10 years old.

Prayer items:

• There are 2 sisters, Tiri and Tiran in our Living Stone Church who are not well. Tiri was baptized in Jan 2020.
• We heard that 15 international schools may reopen in August. The Department of Education will evaluate their facilities before making the final approval. As for the government schools they will reopen in November after the Water Festival.
• For our Sonlight Kindergarten, we would like to reopen as soon as possible.
• We are planning to return to Cambodia in mid-September. The Cambodia government requires foreigners to carry travel insurance which will pay up to US$50,000 and US$3,000 to carry with them for medical needs for Covid 19 related matters.

        Thank you so much! We would love to hear from you and connect with you.

In His service,
