I am back!
Teaching new batch of students with two Monks in this new term is another refreshing head start to share the message of Christ’s salvation to these two Buddhist leaders, yet the spiritual battle is huge.  Please do stand with me in prayer again.


The church has welcomed me back with new time of Sunday worship schedule! Praise the Lord for the full packed Sunday worship! A church member Sarem, is getting married on May 27 and I had a short conversation with her fiancé at the church recently. Praise God, the guy is a believer! What a joyful welcome! Glory to God! Dara has been leading church worships though she’s not a “typical singer,” yet she loves the Lord. Indeed, God is looking at the motive of the heart not the talent. She’s having a part time job as a sales lady in one of the souvenir shops here in downtown. So she could support her university classes and at the same time help her family.


God has been so gracious and faithful in providing for my needs. I am settled down now and readjusted with all my stuff back to its place which was kept in the boxes while I was away.  God is good!


Praise & Thanksgiving:
·         Good health and protection daily. I miss my two cute nephews—RJ (4 yrs. old), & JJ (1 & 6months old), sons of our youngest sister; I took good care of them while I was in the Philippines.  They are God’s gift to me and family! They’re my joy! Praise God!
·         New batch of students in this new term with new functional leaders in LOHI.
·         Church is growing by His grace.
·         God’s faithful provision.  Another term (3 years) has just begun!
·         For another fruitful year—May 18, my birthday today! God is great, awesome & faithful throughout these years! 

Supplications:
Please PRAY for…
·         God’s wisdom that I will be sensitive to His leading in everything that I do privately & publicly.
·         Intimacy with God in reading His Word and in prayer.
·         CSM Bible School, this month (May 29—June 1). I will be the teacher with lessons’ focus-- spiritual emphasis. Prayer and Fasting is part of the syllabus.  The challenge is on as I will be speaking in Khmer language for four days. I covet your consistent prayer on this. Please fast with me—a meal each day for the whole duration of 4 day bible class. Thank you! May the Lord be made known and be glorified alone!
·         Dara’s studies and family. They’ve been in different health concerns. Her grandfather has been in and out in the hospital because of diabetes and at this time since yesterday her grandmother is admitted due to kidney problem.
·         My family and home church in the Philippines—spiritual growth, will have a forgiving heart.


Thank you for your faithful and unwavering partnership in reaching more Cambodians for the Lord Jesus throughout these years!  May the Lord bless you in manifold ways!


In Christ,

Be strong.     And do everything with love.  (I Corinthians 16:13-14) Shine's intentional discipleship ministry seeks to obey the will of the Father . Prayer and fasting are integral parts of every fiscal year. All glory to God for answering our prayers favorably as we commenced the first quarter of 2025.
