SHINE In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 Are you ready to shine in 2019? I spent Christmas and New Year at home with my siblings, nieces, nephews, relatives, and church. It was a wonderful time of the year to which the Lord has blessed me with.  Indeed, being home and having a loving family in the important season of the year is a huge blessing. Family is LOVE It was a full packed vacation with the wedding of my first cousin, Michael. I was the wedding coordinator at that special event. An opportunity to serve and shine for the Lord is a gift. Wedding Coordinator On New Year’s Day, the majority of my family members gathered together for a wonderful fellowship and at the first hour of 2019, we had Lord Supper with the youth from our church. Challenging the millennials to pursue the life that matters to God by shining in their faith was a privil...

She started helping her mother cleaning at school at the age of 12, where she had started to study the Bible and now she is 20. Time flies so fast. She thrived ever since because of the mercy and grace of the Lord Jesus. Dara Dou went through difficult times but her tenacity to pursue God as the source of life has been progressing throughout these years. Cutting grasses for cows, collecting empty plastic battles at school, selling biscuits on the streets, and cleaning houses were just several part-time jobs she experienced just to finish high school. She had passed the university scholarship program and has been studying at the government university in Tourism for three years now. However, this did not stop her to seek more opportunities. I remembe...

Better Together! It’s been a year and four months when Chantou and his two boys experienced that painful plight inside their burning small house in July last year. Chantou survived inside the two hospitals for five months and thrived for another six months as an outpatient. He lives in Battambang for almost a year. Regardless of what had happened to him, it did not hinder Chantou to continue his studies at our Bible school. This is now his second year at Cambodia Schools for Missions (CSM). He is back to the village and comes back to Battambang every now and then for Bible School class. His two boys, Piseth and Visal are staying at LOHI’s dorm. They’re both doing great after they got adjusted to school and with new found friends. Visal, the youngest excels in public school, both are in grade one. He ranked 4 th in class and first at LOHI English language center pre-level 1 class. It was delightful news to receive and of course, we celebrated over a cone of ice cream! Governm...

From day one to day three, the message to each station was presented creatively by the team from Malaysia and LOHI staff.

T3+T10                                     Be thankful . God has commanded it—for our good and for His glory . Thaibodia Training Trek (T3 ) went great last July until August 10 and I celebrated my Thankful 10 years in Cambodia as well. God is great and good as always.  Praise the Lord! I was assigned in Pakkret, outskirts of Bangkok, to help out the new Santisuk center. This branch is eighteen months old with three staff. They are working hard to have more students.

God's Grace, Goodness and Faithfulness I truly am grateful to God for adding another year into my life. I celebrated my 44 th   birthday on May 18 with the acquired family and friends in missions; this is God’s way of saying that no one is alone in God’s ministry. Since I left my family in 2006 for missions I have seen God’s power transforming many lives both Thais and Cambodians. He also molded me in so many ways. God’s sustaining grace allows me to trust and obey Him especially when the circumstances in ministry, family and personal concerns are tough. The roller coaster of life is not easy, yet one thing is certain, God is Sovereign and He knows what lies ahead and good for us. I believe the true beauty of faith and service are best seen in the midst of adversity. Christ Jesus had modeled it on His journey to the cross of Calvary. Thus, I am praying at making the years count as this is Gods’ special gift and love to me. By His grace and mercy I pray that many more soul...
