a ministry of ACTION

Happy New Year! This past month has been a whirlwind of activity. It started with the Shalom pastor’s training workshop, where Pastor Sopheak and I instructed several church leaders in the use of the Design for Discipleship books by the Navigators. I also taught two sessions on how to study the Bible—particulary on the relationship between exegesis and exposition. It was really the first time that I have had the opportunity to pass on some of the teaching I received in seminary to pastors here. I cannot fully express the joy I experienced as I taught what has been entrusted to me to other faithful men and to see them encouraged and excited to learn more from God’s Word. In correlation with the pastors workshop we did a pre-release of the first three books of the Design for Discipleship series so that...

What is Christmas all about? In Cambodia, very few know the true meaning of Christmas, but many are interested. This gives us a unique opportunity for the Gospel because we know what Christmas is about! The Shalom Churches (our ministry partners) have a Christmas outreach every year, targeting non-believers who are interested in hearing more about the meaning of Christmas. We will be passing out invitations to the Christmas Outreach in the coming weeks, and we wanted to ask all of you to be praying that the Lord would work in the hearts of those who receive them, that they would not only attend, but also come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior.

We’ve arrived in Cambodia safe and sound, praise the Lord! The flight was uneventful (apart from a brief moment when I thought I had lost our passports), and the kids did great. We’ve been blessed to have Christiana’s mom here to help out during our transition back. Our first week flew by as we unpacked, reorganized, made some needed repairs in and around the house, as well as dealt with our car breaking down a few times. Thankfully our house did not flood, even though much of Cambodia is still suffering from the heavy rains this season. We are excited to be back, ministering to the people here, and we are looking forward to what God has in store!
Four of our current translation projects are almost complete: the second edition of Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die, True Discipleship, Design for Descipleship, and Learning About Jesus children’s book. Lord willing, these will all be going to print in the next few months and reaching the hands of many Cambodians. Please join with us in praying for fruit from these labors as well as additional funding to print each book.
Please continue to pray for a smooth transition for our family and for some ministry planning meetings coming up with Shalom Church. We want to use the gifts God has given us to serve the local Body and spread the Word of Christ to the best of our ability. We need your prayers that God would give us wisdom and insight as we make decisions.
We miss you all, and are so thankful for the support you give, both in prayer and monetarily. Thank you.

We are now approaching the tail end of our time here in the States, and are expecting to meet our little boy any day! Thanks so much for your many prayers on our behalf! Please continue to pray for a smooth delivery for Christiana and the new little one.We wanted to place some needs before you in this newsletter, so that you can prayerfully consider partnering with us in these specific ways. Times are hard, so we know that many of you cannot partner with us financially. If you cannot give in this way, please be praying for these needs, that God would supply through His people as He sees fit.
