CAMBODIA Update by James Sann
Thank you so much for supporting the minwith the message of Jesus Christ and material needs. This month, a friend and I are busy with something called The Water Filter Project. The Water Filter Project will provide clean water for the people who live in this community. With the help of my friend, an Austrian engineer, the project should be in full operation by the end of the month.
Brian asked me to share with you about my need for transportation. For the last four years, I have been traveling around Pnomh Penh on a bicycle to minister to the children and families of this slum community. Many times when I visit, there are people who are sick and need to go to the hospital, but they have no money or transportation of their own to get there. Sometimes I pay for a moto-taxi (Tuk-Tuk) to get them to the hospital, but that costs a lot of money. If I had a motorcycle, I would be able to take these sweet people to get the help that they need. The motorcycle would also help me to reach out to some villages that are a couple hours away. Brian, Ron and Jim visited one of these villages with me in February. The cost of the motorcycle, helmet and registration would be around $2,500 and we have $500 that has already been donated.
If God touches your heart to help with this need or anything else, I welcome your support in working for the Lord and the Kingdom of God in Cambodia. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family. Amen!
LAOS Update: Pastor K________
I have been doing leadership training every other month for the last six months. There are about 15 national pastors/missionaries that I train and work with. Most of them have never been to Bible School, but are very hungry to learn. Since the government is always investigating us we generally don’t meet for training in a big group. I usually just train 4 to 6 at a time in my house. When the pastors come they share many testimonies of the miracles the Lord has done through their ministries such as healing and casting out demons. We are praising God because recently 11 families have come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
I have also been busy doing follow up and preaching in different churches in my province. My prayer is that I could start training selected young people to send into the mission fields. Also, I really need some one to help me in this ministry because I am getting old. Please pray for these things! Thank you very much for your prayers.
