"Not that I have already
obtained all this,
or have already been
made perfect, but I press
on to take hold of that for
which Christ Jesus
took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not
consider myself yet
to have taken hold
of it. But one thing
I do: Forgetting what
is behind and straining
toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the
goal to win the prize
for which God has called
me heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
" -philippians 3:12-14

    Wonderful missionaries


    During the time that i was working, i had the privilege of following Kati to one of the slums in Phhom Penh. Kati is learning mid-wifery, and she wants to be a mid-wife in Cambodia after she comes back from her studies in the States . Neeways, she helps out with this lady called Twannette (i really dont know where she is from, but she has a very funny and distinct accent). She had been doing what she does for a long time - 6 years in Philippines, and also in JB and now Cambodia.

    In the small church in the slums, a small room is set aside for her. She checks up on pregnant mothers to ensure that their bodies are well, and takes blood tests and gives them free vitamins and supplements according to the blood tests. She also tell them the expected due dates for the baby and we listen to the heartbeats of the babies together! Other than that, she also conduct health talks - like HIV prevention, infectious diseases and so on..

    There was this one mother who was already going to give birth soon; her tummy was really huge! and during the checkup, we found out that the baby was in the wrong position. She advised the lady on the necessary procedures. She also lovingly said that we will pray for her baby to turn back the right way, even though that lady was not a Christian, as it was something that only God could do.



    After i came back, i heard the good news that Twannette had given the lady money to do an ultrasound, and the baby turned back! It's great news! :D


    Also throughout the trip i have met many many missionaries from all over the world serving humbly in Cambodia, and it's really great. I've heard that they go through so much difficulties - heartwrenching ones like betrayal from loved ones, financial crisis, deaths in the family, and much more, and yet they still serve and believe and trust in Jesus. It's wonderful!
