"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

    on the Cambodia trip


    it has been a great trip, too much to say, i'll try to break it down into relevant bits (very long post ahead!):



    the Benzs:

    the missionary family which i had been working with for 4 years. I cannot thank them enough for their faith and love towards each other and towards others. This time my goal was to serve the family while Mom and Kati are gone ( they have 5 adopted Cambo kids and only the youngest American daughter Danielle was there to help Dad). I think i had been blessed so much more instead.

    School in the morning is tiring with all the kids running around and screaming, and we adults will surely need a nap in the afternoon. But they are an adorable buncha kids! They have really loved and pampered me with this trip- i was able to get my own room, we went swimming together... (that's why i am so tanned now! we can spend 5 hrs at the pool -.- ) i love their family so much!

    Please continue to keep the whole family in prayer as Dad and Danielle watches over the family and continue their work in Bykota House, a Christian Childrens' home, and Mom who is raising funds in America. And also for Kati who left Cambodia for the time being to pursue her nursing degree so that she can come back to Cambodia to set up a women's clinic for the people of Cambodia.






    the Benzs






    the Bykota (Be-Ye-Kind-One-To-Another) house (link): (the Children's home that God had put in Dad's heart to set up ) :

    Things are going great there! Nick and Elaine ( a pair of English missionaries who joined our services in Singapore are working there now).

    Other than teaching in school, they have been providing massage therapy for the children who are paralysed, and also taken in their care, Tina, a 7 year old girl who has cerebral palsy. They take Tina home to pray for her healing on Wednesday nights and God is doing a great work in her life! Now she can say 3 words, and she can nudge people to get their attention! It is such so amazing seeing God work in her life!

    Nick and Elaine are a great couple who loves God so much! They are willing to go anywhere for God, and they are just so kind and loving. They brought me to visit their church, and brought me out to lunch and visit their friends!






    little tina!







    Meeting new missionaries:

    Nick and Elaine invited me to their church , but i was hesitant because i had wanted to spend more time with the Benzs. the next day, i received a word through one of my churchmates, Angela, that she saw the word 'Divine appointment' and that i should be prepared to change my plans, and God will direct me in a new way. So i changed my plans lo. hahaha.

    Went to Jubilee Family Church and i loved it! They believe so much in the Church, in the gospel, in praying for one another. It reminded me of Church Alive -.- haha. They are also very small!
    neeways, before i left, the pastor, Steven ( who is English. His wife is Malaysian) had a word for me. So that was my divine appointment! haha.
    it's really a great church! Other than making disciples, they are providing computer training for the locals so that they will be able to find jobs, and other practical means of help for the Cambodians.

    Nick and Elaine also brought me to see Randy Flemming. This guy is AWESOME! the work he does is SO extensive - on weekdays and Saturdays he opens up his place for the Cambodians to come in for free food, free music/computer training. He also set up a church in the slums, and together with his co-workers provides free supplements and checkups for pregnant ladies. i had been there my previous trip and it is such a great ministry! They also pray for the people who come and when i was in Cambo, i heard that 2 women and their child accepted Christ after God touched and healed them!

    Randy has also brought 2 very ill boys from the province to the city to give them proper food and receive medical treatment and also prayer!








    the 2 boys






    If anyone of you reading are interested in offering help, please contact me! i am sure they are more than happy to have you!




    Personally:

    God has been so good! i am very blessed to come from a very loving church. I know that everyday someone will be praying for me. When i was in Cambo, God met me in my prayer times and gave me visions for other people and i would receive confirmations from them! what encouragement! God even gave me a vision for Nick and Elaine hehehe!

    When i was flying back there was a very bad air turbulence and i was really quite worried. So i prayed and i saw God's hand carrying the plane and immediately i had peace even though there was still really bad turbulence.

    God is really very good and loving! I know that through this trip He has opened up more opportunities to serve ( of which i will need wisdom in) and He has strengthened my faith!




    Lastly, do continue to keep the above ministries in prayer! ;)
