EXERCISE

 “How would I know if I am spiritually growing in the Lord Jesus?” Mie Oun uttered this question with good curiosity during our intentional discipleship class. I remembered answering that one way to gauge is if her obedience to God brought joy into her heart not a burden.  The same with Essa who has been in our intentional discipleship class for 7 months now, she is a university student with a part-time job, and Singim, Dara, Daneth, Vina, and Noch are now earning at their respective work. Encouraging and challenging these young women and the church to obey God through their tithes and give it with a cheerful heart. Three women gave their testimonies on how they obeyed the Lord in giving their tithes faithfully even during a financial crisis in the family. They experienced peace and contentment because they chose to exercise their faith in God, God’s grace. Praise the Lord!

WABC church teaching His Word. Glory to God

Dara with her second child, Ketya, shared her testimony on how the Lord blessed her life through challenges, her father had a motorcycle accident that week. 

Drawing a daily life map helps our cell members evaluate their walk with God how the Lord has kept them from danger how the Lord has led their lives and how gracious God is for bringing them back to Him when they have gone astray in their decisions.

 

Praise the Lord for these young people, who live' with their daily map!

I love to walk and I have been consistent in my daily walking exercise every morning. So, I am always active and have the energy to do the ministry that the Lord has entrusted me. One day, on September 4, while preparing for my lunch and in a hurry for the ministry schedule ahead, I slipped and sprained my right foot. I was not able to walk for two weeks. God used His children to help me during those days of pain and physical struggle. Last week I was able to teach and back to work. God in His grace and mercy rescued me with a simple yet important lesson—slow down, be mindful on the wet floor and your season because He cares for me, and my health.  Thus, my faith in God has grown more muscle. Glory to God. 


Thanksgiving:

1. For my renewed Visa.

2. For Healing and protection, worse could have happened.

3. For the privilege to serve Him.

 

Supplication:

1. PachhumBen holiday (like Halloween) in Cambodia next week, Cambodia’s big Buddhist tradition that honors the dead loved ones. Pray that  God's disciples will be a catalyst of change in their family and community.

2. I will take a break with my BSOP colleague, and pray for safe travel and rest. Pray for our kind hosts...

3. Healing for my brother-in-law, Pastor Lito. (God will preserve his right eye).


“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13
