Why I Dive
“God made the world, everything else is made in China.”
“Our Church is Dead!”
“Our church is dead”, announced the Baptist Deacon to the other leaders. It was piercing words to one couple who had come to Christ in that fellowship and had been with it for many years. They started discipling their remaining believers and in a less than a month their church was alive again with many new believers and some people returning.
Faith: A Higher Standard
A young pastor explained that after the August training session he went back to his area determined to reach 9 more villages around him with a new church. So he and his wife got permission from the nine villages to show the gospel. Now they have 9 churches planted in less than four months work.
Anti-Venom
A humble father and pastor came to report what God had done. He shared how a large cobra, possibly a king cobra, had bitten his son in the leg. After prayer and placing the Bible on his chest, he was completely healed instantly.
Tremendous Growth
A small church of 90 people started discipling their own people and then those people started discipling others in the village. People started coming to Christ rapidly. The church has now grown to more than 400 people in one month! Praise the Lord!
Second Thought Thieves
A few days ago our children’s center in Kracheh, Cambodia got broken into. They stole all the clothes from more than 40 girls which were on the clothes line.
Malaysian Hospitality
Generally, every Malaysia is friendly, generous and willing to take any amount of time to build a stronger friendship. Though it is a modern urban country, they have not forgotten the importance of relationships with people.
Cambodian Car Wash
One of my favorite things to do is get my car washed after a long trip. Usually I am off road and so I really get the mud caked into every part of my car. I love going to the car wash and getting such good service.
Wheat and Tares
Wheat and rice look quite similar and have similar properties. Another unique aspect is that both wheat and rice have counterfeits as well. The “tares”. In the Cambodian language it is called “song-gnie”. It looks very similar to rice when growing, yet when it turns harvest time it is more than clear what is rice and what are tares. One you can eat, the other has no nutritional value. One has value, the other is worthless.
