卡加利的夏天似乎很快就要過去了，我們現在正享受涼爽的天氣。自從上次的代禱信後，我們的生活中發生了兩件令人難忘的事情。首先是在6月24日，月甜從一家餐廳的洗手間出來時滑倒，她的左手撐在地板上，手腕骨折了。這是因為她的鞋子防滑功能不佳，導致摔倒。醫生原先打了石膏固定手腕，但兩星期後因手腕骨的接合不理想，要做手術放入金屬片和7粒釘子來固定手腕的骨。她經歷了不少痛楚、不適、無助和不便。另一方面，她亦經歷了朋友和家人的愛和祈禱支持，尤其是與我們住在同一所房子裡的女兒和女婿。7週後，她手上的石膏可以拆除，之後接受物理治療。神讓她學到一些功課，正如《羅馬書》十二4-8中所說，我們需要身體的不同的肢體。同樣，教會需要每一位肢體。哥林多前書十二23鼓勵我們在基督的身體裡，要特別尊重那些不那麼尊貴的人。感恩天父教導她學習謙卑，並對主內肢體有更多憐憫的心！

        第二件事是天父保護我們的屋子免受火災。8月5日早上5:30左右，月甜被汽車喇叭聲吵醒，她以為有司機在路上不耐煩。然後她聽到敲門聲，鄰居告訴我們在隔壁兩間房子的車庫起了大火，接著聽到爆炸聲，有些火花被風吹到我們的屋頂附近。隨後消防車趕到，大火在一個小時左右就得到了控制。我們感恩，因這場火只燒燬了一個車庫，沒有人受傷！如果是在半夜起火，可能沒那麼容易被發現！深深感謝神的保守。

        感謝您們多年來對我們在柬埔寨事工的支持。請繼續為神所做的一切感恩，和為我們的需要求恩。

感恩事項：

1. 我們曾為波妮能得救祈禱，天父答應了我們。當她的哥哥波拿傳道與她分享福音時，她接受了耶穌作為她個人的救主。她熱衷於每週學習天父的話語。
2. 七月柬埔寨大選順利、和平進行。
3. 有新人來參加活石堂主日崇拜。

代禱事項：

1. 活石堂的同工正計劃在會友家中開辦小組，讓大家有機會交流、分享及互相鼓勵。請為這事工禱告。
2. 為波妮10歲的女兒美美禱告，祈求天父醫治她腸臟的腫瘤。
3. 為月甜的手腕禱告，祈求在物理治療後沒有後患。

        謝謝您們的代禱。若有時間時可以給我們分享您們的近況，我們也可以互相代求。

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Looks like summer is going away soon in Calgary. We are enjoying cooler weather now. Since the last time we wrote there are two unforgettable events that have happened in our lives. Firstly, on June 24th Liza slipped coming from the washroom in a restaurant. Her left hand landed on the floor that broke three bones in her wrist. The shoes that she wore didn’t have much grip at the bottom and that is why for the fall. For the 7 weeks she went through putting cast on, surgery with a plate and 7 screws inside her wrist. She experienced much pain, discomfort, helplessness, and inconvenience. However, on the other hand she experienced the love and prayer support from friends and family especially Joseph, our daughter, and her husband whom we live in the same house. And that makes me humble to ask for help from them! Finally, 7 weeks after my surgery, the cast was removed and now, I am in physiotherapy.  God let me learn something on all of these; as in Romans 12:4-8 I’m reminded that we need different parts of our body. Also, it’s in the body of Christ that we need every member of our church. In 1 Corinthians 12:23 encourages us to treat the less honorable with special honor in the body of Christ. It humbles me to have more mercy for those in the body of Christ.

        Secondly, God protected our family from the fire just 2 houses away. In the morning of August 5th around 5:30 when we were still asleep Liza heard the honking of cars and she thought drivers were impatient. Then we heard banging on our door; our next-door neighbor told us there was fire in the garage of the house next to him. Then fire engines came, and the fire was under control in an hour or so. We are so thankful the fire was only contained in that garage; no one was injured! If it were during the middle of the night fire was not so easily found out!

        We thank you so much for supporting our ministry in Cambodia for all these years. Please continue to praise God for what He has done, and we covet your continued prayers.

Praise items:

• We prayed for Polly’s salvation and God answered us. She received Jesus as her personal Savior when Phalla shared the gospel with her. She is keen to study God’s word every week.
• The general election in Cambodia went smoothly and peacefully.
• There have been new people coming to the Living Stone Church.

Prayer requests:

• Our local staff is planning to start small groups in the homes of the members on top of the various Bible study groups.
• For Polly’s 10-year-old daughter, Mei Mei that God will heal the tumor in her intestines.
• For Liza’s wrist that she can use her hand with no problems after the physiotherapy session.

        Thank you. Write us a message when you have time, and we can pray for you too.

Yours in Christ,                
Joseph and Liza Ng

        時間過得真快，2023年已經過去了一半。讓我們按照神的話語之教導，明智地利用我們的時間。「因此，你們要小心行事為人，不要像不聰明的人，而要像聰明人一樣，充分利用你的時間，因為日子是邪惡的。所以，不要作糊塗人，總要明白主的旨意如何。」（以弗所書五15-17）讓我們多親近神，渴慕祂的話語，晝夜思想，樂意事奉祂。

        非常感謝您為柬埔寨的事工和我們代禱。請繼續記念我們的感恩和祈禱事項。

感恩事項：

1. 波妮女士，波拿傳道的妹妹，常返活石堂崇拜。她喜愛在家中跟波拿一起讀聖經和禱告。
2. 初信主的心聆姊妹有事奉神的心，現在參加敬拜隊。

代禱事項：

1. 請為波妮女士禱告，願她早日清楚明白救恩。祈求天父醫治她10歲的女兒，她的腸道有腫瘤。
2. 柬埔寨七月舉行全國選舉，祈求能公平地選出合神心意的領袖。
3. 會友亞順嬸因腳痛不能走路返教會，願主醫治她。

        多謝您們的代禱！有空請與我們通訊，讓我們可為您們禱告！

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Time passed by so fast; half of the year 2023 is gone. Let us redeem our time as the words of God teach us.  “Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is. ” Ephesians 5:15-17. Let us come close to God, meditate His words day and night, and serve Him wholeheartedly.

        Thank you so much for your prayers for our ministry in Cambodia and us. Really appreciate your support.

        Please continue to remember our praise and prayer items.

Praise items:

• Polly, the sister of our Khmer pastor, Phalla, has been coming to the Living Stone Church. She wants to read God’s words and pray with Phalla at her home.
• Som Neang, a new believer, has a heart to serve God in the worship team.

Prayer requests:

• Pray for Polly that she will receive salvation, and God’s healing for her 10-year-old daughter who has a tumor in her intestine.
• A peaceful and justice election in July for Cambodia.
• Ming Siuen has a foot pain and cannot walk to church. Pray for God’s healing.

        Write to us and let us know how we can pray for you.

        我們在加拿大向您們問候！春天終於來了，可以享受比較溫暖的天氣。

        4月14日至16日是柬埔寨的新年假期。這三天柬埔寨特別熱鬧，是很隆重的傳統節日。

        柬埔寨新年的第一天稱為「宋干節」，是守歲之日，意謂結束舊年。他們會在神像和佛像前擺放香燭及貢品，跪拜神靈。當天早上要洗臉、中午洗身、晚上洗腳，這樣做就可以在新的一年有好的運氣。新年的第二天稱為「辭歲」，他們會將食物和衣物送給家人和恩人，或是施捨給窮人、傭人，並到寺廟拜祭祖先。第三天稱為「新歲」，僧人們在這一天舉行隆重的浴佛儀式，並給佛像灑上象徵幸福的香水，祈求國泰民安。

        柬埔寨的新年與基督教復活節的日子很接近。但願聖靈在柬埔寨人心中動工，使他們知道耶穌是通向神的唯一道路。耶穌是完全的神和人，祂沒有罪，因此祂可以成為我們的代罪羔羊！

        求基督耶穌施恩給活石堂眾信徒有復活的盼望，可以在他們未信的親友中成為福音使者，讓親友們能認識耶穌並接受祂為救主。

        非常感謝您們支持活石堂和新光幼兒園的事工。請繼續讚美神並為我們的需要禱告：

感恩事項：

1. 大兒子思義已找到工作。兒婦小鳳在下個月轉換工作時間為下午2點至11點。
2. 波拿傳道的兒子約瑟左腿踝骨好了很多，可以駕駛電單車。
3. 活石堂在復活節主日舉行愛筵，有多人參加。祈禱他們繼續返教會敬拜神。

代禱事項：

1. 請為活石堂的會友祈禱，叫他們能在柬埔寨新年期間堅強地面對屬靈的黑暗勢力。
2. 祈求高姊妹有智慧和洞察力，帶領活石堂和新光幼稚園。
3. 為我們的精神和身體健康祈禱，讓我們可以繼續在加拿大和活石堂的同工一起服侍神。

        多謝您們的代禱！

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Greetings from Canada! Spring has finally arrived. We are enjoying the warmer weather.

        Khmer new year falls on April 14-16 this year. This is the most joyous festival for Cambodians. On the first day the people offer gifts and incense before their gods or Buddha. They wash their face in the morning, at noon they take a bath and wash their feet at night in order to gain good luck. On the second day they give gifts of food and clothing to their family members, as well as to the needy. They also go to the temples to worship their ancestors. On the third day the monks clean the Buddha statue and sprinkle perfume over them before praying for prosperity and safety of the nation.

        The Khmer new year almost coincides with our Christian Easter celebration. May the Holy Spirit work in the people’s hearts to know Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus is fully God and Man who has no sin so that He can be the sacrifice for our transgressions!

        Let’s have hope in our resurrected Christ who will never leave us nor forsake us once we accept Him as our Savior!

        Thank you so much for supporting our ministry in Living Stone Church and Sonlight Kindergarten. Please continue to praise God and pray for our needs.

Praise items:

• There was a love feast for the Living Stone Church on Sunday before the new year holiday. Many people attended. May they continue to come to worship God and fellowship with other believers.
• The ankle of Joseph, the elder son of our staff, Phalla and Savy has healed nicely. He has been able to ride his motorbike for 2 weeks.
• Our elder son started work on April 4th after 2 years staying at home to look after the 4 children. His wife is a part time nurse that she can change to a shift from 2-11 pm.

Prayer requests:

• Please pray for the members of Living Stone Church that they can stand strong after the spiritual dark forces during the Khmer new year.
• Pray for Angel Gao to have wisdom and discernment in leading the church and kindergarten in Phnom Penh.
• Pray for our spiritual and physical wellness so that we can continue to serve our God here in Canada and with the staff of Living Stone Church.

        Thank you for praying. Keep in touch and share your prayer requests so that we can bring your needs to God.

In His name,
Joseph and Liza Ng

        我們從卡加利向您們問安！新的一年已過了個多月，您們好嗎？上個月27、28日在柬埔寨有一個大型活動——福音進入柬埔寨一百年慶典，有35,000人參加，其中近二千人是非信徒。洪森總理和許多政府官員都到場參加，並對基督徒在柬埔寨所做的一切表示讚賞。政府官員甚至為今次聚會提供了7,500美元的捐款。感謝您們為這次活動祈禱。願上帝的名被高舉和得榮耀，並有更多人被吸引來信耶穌！

        請繼續為活石堂讚美主，並為事工禱告，謝謝。

2. 1月20日和2月3日，我們在網上與活石堂的同工和高韙姊妹舉行了員工會議。我們坦誠地分享和討論教會事工的強項和需要改善的地方，並制定了今年的目標和策略。
3. 心聆姊妹找到新工作，可以在星期日與兩個兒子返教會。
4. 約瑟做了白內障手術，復原良好。

求恩事項：

2. 請記念新信的美美妹妹、威夏、彼淪，和已來幾次的Sey Nat和Sey Rot都能繼續返教會。

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Greetings from Calgary! How are you doing so far in the new year? We would like to update you with the big event on January 27,28 in Cambodia. It is the centennial celebration of the gospel that came into this country. It was well attended by 35,000 during these 2 days. 5% were non-believers. Prime minister Hun Sen and many government officials were there and expressed appreciation for what Christians have been doing in Cambodia. The government even gave an offering of US $7,500 to this program. Thank you for praying for this event. May the name of God be lifted up and glorified, and many people will be drawn to Jesus!

        Please continue to praise God and pray for our Living Stone Church. Thank you.

Praise items:

• Last year’s Christmas program was well attended with old members who haven’t been coming after covid, and many new friends. Wei Ha accepted Jesus as his Savior after the sermon.
• On January 20 and February 3 there were staff meetings with our Khmer staff, Angel Gao and us through zoom. We had an open and honest discussion about our strengths and weaknesses in our ministry. Also, we set some vision and strategy.
• Som Niang found another job so she can come to church with her 2 boys.
• Joseph’s cataract surgery was successful. His eyes are healed nicely.

Prayer requests:

• Joseph, son of our Khmer staff, has a fractured ankle in a motorcycle accident. Please pray for his complete healing and bringing his family closer together.
• The spiritual growth of the new believers: Mei Mei, Wei Ha, Phirum, and those who came a few times: Sey Nat and Sey Rot that they will be interested in the gospel.
• Udom, our part time staff who is attending the Bible School, will lead the Sunday worship team for a 6-month trial. Pray for wisdom and good relationships with the members.
• Sonlight Kindergarten has hired two English teachers. Please pray for their adjustment in teaching children.

        Thank you so much for your support in different ways.

In His service,
Joseph and Liza Ng

        從12月開始，我們看到不少房屋和商店都擺設聖誕裝飾和燈飾，大家忙著為他們所愛的人購買禮物和籌劃慶祝活動。作為基督徒，我們知道耶穌的誕生是我們每年慶祝聖誕的原因。「必有童女懷孕生子，給他起名叫以馬內利，意思是神與我們同在。」（馬太福音一23）

        世界上的事物並不長久，當我們寄望於這個世界時，我們會陷入恐懼和不安。但當我們把希望寄託在耶穌身上時，我們可以相信祂永遠是一樣的；昨日、今日，一直到永遠。唯獨祂是我們的磐石和拯救；祂是我們的保障，永不會動搖。

        這個聖誕節讓我們在主耶穌基督裡，更加體驗真正的平安和喜樂！非常感謝你們以不同的方式支持我們，尤其是你們的祈禱。請繼續因祂所做的一切來讚美神，並為我們的需要祈禱。

感恩事項：

1. 儘管最近有極端寒冷的天氣和流感，主賜我們身體健康。
2. 我們的長子思義和家人一個月內先後染上流感，但現在都已康復了。
3. 在過去的兩星期，我們在金邊的活石教會有5位新朋友來參加主日崇拜。
4. 天父聽了我們的祈禱，在同工波拿和沙域的心中動工；他們更有耐心，更了解彼此的感受。

祈禱事項：

1. 十一月時我們寫了一篇關於「如何向佛教徒分享福音」的文章，並已翻譯成柬埔寨語。祈求上帝使用它來帶領更多人歸向基督。
2. 請為5位來聚會的新朋友禱告，願天父帶領他們繼續來聚會，用心聽道，多認識神。
3. 金邊市解封之後，未能回復疫情前的聚會人數。求主帶領會友回來敬拜神，認識神的話。
4. 約瑟將於明年1月4日和11日做白內障手術。請為手術順利和約瑟能早日康復。

        祝您們聖誕快樂，並有一個蒙福的新年！

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Starting in December we can see the houses and stores are decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments. People are busy buying gifts and planning celebrations for their loved ones. As Christians we know the birth of Jesus is the reason why we celebrate Christians each year. In Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel which means, God with us.”

        The world is uncertain and unstable, and when we put our hopes in the things of this world, we can be overcome by fear. But as we place our hope in Jesus, we can trust that He is always the same; yesterday, today, and forever. He alone is our rock and our salvation; He is our fortress and will not be shaken.

        This Christmas let us experience hope and joy in our Lord, Jesus Christ! Thank you so much for supporting us in different ways, especially your prayers. Please continue to praise God for what He has done and pray for our needs.

Praise items:

• Despite the extreme cold weather and flu, God keeps us well and healthy.
• Simeon, our eldest son and family are all well now after fighting with flu for a month.
• There have been 5 newcomers to our Living Stone Church in Phnom Penh in the last 2 weeks.
• God answered our prayers to work in the hearts of our Khmer workers, Phalla and Savy; they are more patient, and they understand more of each other’s feelings.

Prayer items:

• Last month we wrote an article on “How to share the gospel to Buddhists” and it was translated into Khmer. Please pray that God would use it to bring more people to Christ.
• Please pray for the 5 newcomers that they will come regularly with an open heart to know more about God.
• Some members of our church stopped coming due to the pandemic. Pray that they will come back to worship God and learn about His words.
• Joseph will have cataract operation on January 4th and 11th. Please pray for wisdom for the doctor and for Joseph’s speedy recovery.

        Thank you so much! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed and fruitful new year in 2023!

In His service,
Joseph and Liza Ng

        從加拿大向你們問安！10月10日是加拿大的感恩節。當我們回顧過去一年的時候，我們有很多值得感恩的事情。儘管因年老而身體上出現一些小毛病，但我們的身心靈仍然健康。來自家人的愛和關懷讓我們開心；我們的朋友、教會的肢體都給我們支持和鼓勵。我們差會的領導，也給我們鼓勵並寶貴的建議。最重要的是，父神的愛和恩惠與我們同在。當感到挫敗和無助時，我們可以藉著主耶穌死而復活的能力得勝。聖靈常以微弱的聲音安慰我們，使我們能認罪悔改。

        在上次祈禱信中，我們祈求活石教會會友能有渴慕神話語的心。讚美天父，本地同工波拿和沙域在教會崇拜後，為青年人開了兩個查經小組。願他們有智慧和能力說出祂的話，好使來參加的青年人把主的話記在心裡，應用在生活上。

        非常感謝您在祈禱中，並在各方面支持我們。以下是我們的讚美和禱告項目：

感恩事項：

1. 高姊妹成功用電腦向政府呈交了財務報告！
2. 基督教新生命學校的校長答應接納新光幼稚園的畢業生可以入讀他們的小學，這樣學生便可以在基督教學校中成長。
3. 天父給我們和高姊妹有訓練少年人的異象。她計劃在周六成立一個少年小組，教導他們生活技能和聖經的價值觀。
4. 教會神學生屋噹在兒童主日學結束後，成立了一個少年小組。他們一起互相認識、祈禱。

求恩事項：

1. 心聆姊妹八月份回到丈夫身邊，但因發現他吸毒，所以又離開了。祈求上帝保守她和兩個兒子，又她的丈夫能認識耶穌並能戒毒。
2. 新光幼稚園需要兩名英文老師，請你來參與服侍。

        多謝你們的代禱！

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Greetings from Canada! October 10th is Canadian Thanksgiving Day. As we reflect on the past year we have so much to be thankful for. We have a sound mind and good health despite some minor problems because of old age. Love and care from family members give us joy. Friends and church families are our encouragement and support.  The leaders of our mission board are always there to encourage and give us advice. Most of all God our Father loves us and He is always with us. When we feel defeated and helpless, we can claim our Lord Jesus victory. The Holy Spirit’s still small voice comforts us and convicts of our sins so that we can repent.

        In our last newsletter we asked for prayer that the church members of Living Stone Church would thirst for God’s words. Praise God that our Khmer staff, Phalla and Savy have started 2 Bible study groups for young people after church. May they have wisdom and power to bring forth His words and the young people will keep His words in their hearts and apply them in their lives.

        Thank you so much for upholding us in your prayer and supporting us in all areas. The following are our praise and prayer items:

Praise items:

• Angel Gao successfully submitted all the paperwork for the tax purposes of our mission, Cambodian Evangelist Mission, and was approved!
• The principal of New Life School gave our Sonlight Kindergarten a go ahead for our students to continue at their grade school.
• God gave us and Angel Gao the vision to train the teens. She has been planning a teen group on Saturday to teach them about life skills and values.
• Udom, our Bible School student, started a teen group after church.

Prayer items:

• Our Khmer staff, Phalla and Savy need skills and wisdom to resolve conflicts in their marriage.
• Som Neang went back to her husband in August but recently she left again because he is taking drugs. Pray that God will protect her and 2 boys, and that her husband will know Jesus.
• Our kindergarten is still looking for 2 English teachers.

        Thank you so much!

In His service,
Joseph and Liza Ng

親愛的主內弟兄姊妹們，平安：

        自從上次寫代禱信後，很快便過了兩個多月。四月時女兒欣義患上新冠肺炎。五月時女婿和約瑟也同時染疫。我們四人住在一屋子，只有月甜一人沒有感染。她是一家之「煮」，我們每天的食糧由她準備。

        為紀念福音傳入柬埔寨一百年，明年一月會有一個大型慶典。波拿傳道是籌委會成員之一，他與其他領袖一同忙碌籌劃這次盛會。預料會有三萬人參加，並會邀請柬埔寨總理洪森和政府不同的部門的官員參加。在６月25日會有一個聚會給三千人參加。全部預算是23萬美元。

        最近約瑟在豐盛播客中接受訪問，名為「祂引領我們去柬埔寨宣教之路」，但只有英文版。如有興趣可以用以下的連結收聽。https://bruceoliverministries.sermon.net/BruceOliverMinistries/abundantliving/21961658

以下是我們的感恩和求恩事項：

感恩事項：

1. 感謝天父保守欣義、女婿和約瑟，他們患新冠肺炎後幾天便好了。在柬埔寨的同工們已接種第四針。
2. Ponleu是活石堂的年青人，今年考12班公開試成績優異，獲得總理洪森的獎金及大學的獎學金。
3. 新光幼稚園在今年一月重開之後，現有學生52名，托兒所有35小朋友。

求恩事項：

1. 新光幼稚園有一位老師辭職，求天父為我們預備兩位愛小孩子和英文流利的老師。
2. Som Neang曾在新光幼稚園任清潔員，她在活石堂信主。因家暴，她帶了兩個兒子回娘家居住。請記念她，願神保守她的信心。
3. 大兒子思義暫未打算找新工作，會在家中看顧四個兒女。大的兩位已入讀一和二年級，小的是四歲和兩歲。媳婦小鳳是註冊護士，為了多點時間在家中幫忙看顧孩子，只能部分時間工作。請記念他們有耐性和智慧看顧兒女，帶領他們親近神！

        多謝你們常在禱告中記念我們！

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Time has gone by so fast; it’s 2 months since we wrote last time! In April, Lydia, our daughter got Covid and in May Joseph and Patrick, our son-in-law got it at the same time. Praise God that Liza was healthy in taking care of them.

        A big celebration among the Christian circle in Cambodia will happen next January 2023. It is the 100th year of the gospel that came to this country. There have been lots of planning and meetings among the Christian leaders. They are expecting a gathering of 30,000 people. Many government officials will be invited. There will be a rally of 3,000 people on June 25. Their budget for the celebration is US$230,000. May God be glorified in these events.

        Recently Joseph was interviewed by Dr. Bruce Oliver in the Abundant Life Podcast. The title is Walking in His leading. It is about the Lord’s leading us in ministries in the Philippines and Cambodia.  You can listen to the podcast by following this link. https://bruceoliverministries.sermon.net/BruceOliverMinistries/abundantliving/21961658

        Thank you so much for your support in many ways, especially your prayers. Please continue to praise God and pray for us:

        Thank you very much for supporting us in different ways. Please praise God and pray for us.

Praise items:

• Speedy recovery from Covid-19 for Lydia, Patrick and Joseph. In Cambodia, our church staff had their 4th shot of Covid immunization.
• Ponleu, one of the young people at Livingstone Church passed the grade 12 public examination with flying colors. He receives full scholarships from the university and the Prime Minister Hun Sun.
• The Sonlight Kindergarten was reopened in January. Now we have 52 students and 35 toddlers in the nursery.

Prayer items:

• The Sonlight Kindergarten needs two new teachers. We ask God to provide teachers who love children and are good in English and possibly also Chinese.
• Som Neang, who was our cleaning lady at Sonlight Kindergarten resigned. Her husband often beats her up. Now she and two children left him and lives with her Dad. Pray that she keeps trusting God.
• Simeon, our first son, stops looking for a new job for now while his wife is a Registered Nurse who is working part time. Pray that they have patience and wisdom to look after 4 children ranging from 2-8 years old, and lead them to know God.

        Thank you for remembering us in your prayers.

        「耶和華說、我的意念、非同你們的意念、我的道路、非同你們的道路。天怎樣高過地、照樣我的道路、高過你們的道路、我的意念、高過你們的意念。」（以賽亞書55:8-9）在活石堂的同工關係中，我們見到這經文的實在。近日有兩件事情發生，在人看來是不好的，但過後卻有「好」在其中。日前活石堂女同工沙域與新光幼稚園主任發生爭執，她們都因這事不開心。沙域不再為幼稚園午餐買食物，改在教會三樓的大廳與丈夫波拿傳道吃午餐。感謝主，在高韙——我們的宣教同工調解之下，二人得著和解。另一件事是教會閣樓辦公室的無線上網出了問題，沙域本在那裡辦工，但三樓可以無線上網，她便多在三樓，與波拿多了時間讀經、禱告和談話。

        我們在卡加利安好，春天已到。疫情已緩和，在公眾場所不用戴口罩，教會可以實體聚會。我們仍與在金邊的波拿和沙域在星期一到五有祈禱會，星期六與他倆和部分時間同工屋噹夫婦查經。約瑟每個月一次預備講章，由波拿在活石堂崇拜分享。感謝主，我們可以在線上與同工們聯繫，彼此守望。主的話是活潑的屬靈寶劍，能剌入、剖開心中的思念和主意。但願我們能在主的話語上長進，向下扎根，向上結果。

        多謝你們多方的支持。以下是我們感恩和求恩事項：

感恩事項：

1. 過去兩年同工未能用電子化程式交本地中福的年稅。高韙在一宣教士的同工協助下成功完成，而且免去手續費。
2. 情人節時，託兒所的媬姆帶她們的丈夫來參加夫婦特別聚會。請記念她們未信主的丈夫能認識主。
3. 新光幼稚園已在二月重開，今個月多了學生及幼兒來上課。

求恩事項：

1. 波拿、沙域和高韙三人能組織成三股合成的繩子，同心事奉。
2. 請記念波拿和沙域的大兒子約瑟，他已經二十多歲，需要學習為主委身。
3. 我們大兒子思義在找工作，媳婦小鳳有部分時間護士工作。求主叫他們能靠主供應生活所需。

        祝復活節快樂！但願基督復活的大能成為我們的力量。

Dear family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

        Isaiah 55:8,9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” We can identify this verse in our Living Stone Church! There were 2 incidents that were not good in man’s eyes with our church lady worker, Savy. Firstly, she had an argument with the administrator of our school. That brought hurt and anger on both sides. Our church worker stopped buying food for the school, so she does not eat lunch with the school staff and students. Instead, she eats lunch on the third floor with her husband, Phalla. Praise God with the help from Him and interaction from Angel Gao, our new missionary the two ladies reconciled. Secondly the internet does not work well at the church office, so Savy had to go to the third floor where Phalla’s office is. Angel told us that Savy and her husband have been spending more time reading God’s words, praying, and talking together. God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than ours.

        We are doing well in Calgary. Enjoying the spring that is finally here! We are still praying with Phalla and Savy 4 times a week and studying God’s words once a week with them, and Udom, our part time worker and his wife as well. Through all these we can know about their needs, and we can support one another. God’s words are sharper than the two-edged sword that pierces into our soul and spirit. All of us have grown spiritually and trusted God more and more! God is so good!

        Thank you very much for supporting us in different ways. Please praise God and pray for us.

Praises:

• The annual tax of our local mission through e-filing was successfully done and submitted.
• The special Valentine’s Day meeting for the School’s nannies and their husbands was well attended. Pray that we will have more ways to reach out to the husbands.
• More and more students and toddlers have been registered at Sonlight kindergarten.

Prayers:

• Phalla and Savy unite with one heart with Angel Gao to serve God and His people.
• Joseph, the son of Phalla and Savy, that he walks closely with God.
• Our elder son, Simeon, is looking for a job, his wife has a part-time nursing job. Please pray that they can trust God for providing all their needs.

        Thank you. Have a blessed Easter celebration! May Jesus’ resurrection power be with all of you!

In His name,

        恭祝農曆新年快樂！願主保守你們有出人意外的平安！

        這世界被新冠病毒和變種病毒反轉了。人們都因新冠疫情需要保持距離／隔離而產生了很多問題。不少人失去工作，也有人擔心會失去工作。有些人因為反對注射疫苗和戴口罩來示威，也有國家選擇與病毒共存而取消抗疫，但現在已有很多人因新冠肺炎而死亡。我們的盼望是在依靠天父，「在洪水泛濫之時，耶和華坐著為王；耶和華坐著為王，直到永遠。」（詩篇29:10）在這動盪的末世中，祂仍在掌管萬有。在希伯來書13:5b「因為主曾說：我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。」讓我們定睛耶穌基督並信靠祂。

        多謝你們一直的代禱和支持。請繼續記念我們的感恩和求恩事項：

感恩事項：

1. 為幼稚園職員開辦的啟發課程已結束。其中一位老師藍保有復興，現在星期日返教會和在兒童主日學幫忙做助教，媬姆們亦返教會崇拜。
2. 新光幼稚園在一月三日復課。
3. 活石堂在宗教部註冊，需要有會友50人簽名之要求已達標。
4. 約瑟小腸氣手術後已復原。

求恩事項：

1. 2月13日星期日下午有情人節特別聚會，給新光幼稚園和託兒所的員工，和她們的丈夫來參加，希望藉此讓我們能認識她們的配偶。
2. 高韙姊妹今年一月開始加入我們的團隊。她已在教會事奉了10年，我們不在柬埔寨時，求主叫她能有智慧在教會和幼稚園中作帶領。她在兒童主日學、少年人和青年中事奉。請為她的籌款祈禱。
3. 柬埔寨稅務局要求本地和外國非牟利機構在網上交稅。去年上網報稅出現困難，我們需僱用專業人士處理，盼望今年可以自行上網報稅。

Dear Family and friends,

        Happy Chinese New Year! May God’s protection and presence be with you! The world has been turned upside down with Covid-19 and its variants. People are isolated with different emotional issues because of social distancing. Some have lost their jobs and some are fearful of losing theirs. There are divisions and protests about wearing face masks. It is so sad many people lost their lives and many are living with the side effects of covid. There is much sad news everyday, however as believers we have hope in God. As in Psalms 29:10 “The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever.” Over all these problems around us our God is still in control! And He promised not to leave us nor forsake us as in Hebrew 13:5b “For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”

        Let us fix our eyes upon Jesus and trust God’s promises! Thank you for supporting us in different ways. Please continue to remember our praise and prayer items!

Praises:

• The Alpha Course for the staff of Sonlight Kindergarten was finished. Rambo, one of the teachers who was backslidden, has been coming to church and helping with children Sunday School. The nannies come to church regularly.
• Sonlight Kindergarten was reopened on January 3rd.
• More than 50 members signed the form for registration of church; it needs to be registered every 2 years.
• Joseph’s hernia surgery went well and was healed fast.

Prayers:

• A special meeting for Sonlight Kindergarten staff and their husbands on February 13. Pray that many will show up.
• Angel Gao joins our CEM team in January 2022. Actually she has been helping our living Stone Church 10 year ago. Please pray that she has wisdom and discernment to oversee the Church and school. She is also involved in children Sunday school, teenager and youth ministry. Please pray for her financial support.
• The Cambodian government started e-filing for filing yearly taxes for foreign and local NGO organizations. Last year Pastor Phalla hired someone to do it. Please pray this year we can do it ourselves.

In Christ,
