Urgent Prayer Requests from Cambodia

The following is an email from Jonathan Chua who should have just got through the last day of English Camp in Siem Reap (Cambodia time). Sambo has been a faithful servant partnering with Phearum in the EE ministry, and Sopheak is one of our closest friends in Siem Reap. He's been asking us to pray for his mother's health and the salvation for the rest of his family.

Please also be in prayer for God's protection over the short-termers and interns. They have been feeling the heaviness of the spiritual realm and experiencing lightheartedness during their sleep. Satan is so commonly invited into the guesthouses and is definitely looking for ways to destroy God's work in Cambodia. Pray also for the lost who don't know our true Creator and God yet.

Let's lift Cambodia up together to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Two urgent prayer requests. The first is for Sambo's daughter. He was planning to leave with his family on Thrusday for Prea Vehia province in the northern part of Cambodia, near where they are fighting over the temple, to do evangelism work in the villages. But his daughter is ill with dengue and is in the hospital now. They told us yesterday but I haven't heard any updates since then. I'll keep you guys updated.

Second is for Sopheak's mother. She has been sick for more than a week I think, vomiting with blood. She is still up and about and helping to cook for English camp though. I talked to her a little bit today and she is feeling better but thinks that the vomiting and blood may come back tomorrow.

Pray for both of them!!!

Praise!

Yay, 60 students will attend the Siem Reap English Camp from July 27- Aug. 1! That's double the amount of students that was initially allowed to join ECamp because of the lack of short-termers going to teach English. Please pray for the 10 teachers who will teach English and share Christ's love with them/encourage the believers' faith.

Cambodia is for Christ

So... I decided to keep this blogger going even though the 2009 missions trip to Cambodia is cancelled this year. I'd like to keep everyone updated on what God's doing in Cambodia through the email updates from our missionaries and friends there. I also added Jonathan Chua's blogger to the Blog List, so y'all can keep him in your prayers too.

The English Camp in Phnom Penh just ended, and all the C&MA missionaries are heading to the week long Field Forum in Kampong Saom now. Pray for safe traveling and a blessed time of rest and spiritual encouragement for the missionaries. Pray that they would be united by God's love and that field politics, personality differences, and other schemes Satan uses to divide God's people will not take their eyes off serving Him in Cambodia.

I know a missionary family (the Copeland's) returned for another term not too long ago, so please pray for their transition.

Kim, who ministered to some Vietnamese youth and girls at risk in the capital for the past years, is starting a new ministry in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Please pray for her as she transitions into her new ministry and for the youth and girls she's been with that they'll continue to grow in their faith!!!

And don't forget about Jolene, Lamry, & May in China, the Mexicali team, and the team going to Ensenada in August!!! The team in China just finished their camp, and ten children accepted Christ.
