Each photo (or video) below has a short caption explaining some of these highlights. Prayer points can be found at the bottom, thank you so much for your ongoing love, support and encouragement! This is a video the bethel team of ministry students made about their visit to Cambodia at the end of March. The school gave them a strict two minute time limit so they couldn't fit everything in but Jesus did so much during this special time that it would be hard to write about everything that happened! Here are some pictures from our outreach to the province with the bethel team. Many were healed touched and many became new believers. Including this beautiful eighty six year old grandma and daughter together in the picture above after we visited their home and shared the gospel with them. Our discipleship groups across the city are continuing to grow and it is so encouraging to keep hearing new testimonies of how Jesus is impacting people's lives and bringing new freedom and life. In April we were out as a family at the shopping in the mall and I felt led to stop and talk to this young man who was on crutches. He was thankful I stopped and had time for him, he said he had recently been in a motorbike accident and had many surgeries in his two legs and arms. He said almost everyone he knew had deserted him and he had been suicidal. Benjy and I prayed for him and told him about Jesus. We met again a few days later and he said after our prayer his body felt so much better and now he only needed one crutch to get by. After that moment he knew Jesus was real and that Jesus loved him and our friend decided to pray with me to accept Jesus into his heart. In May Mollie and the Red light Outreach team visited Bangkok to join and learn from a ministry called Nightlight that has been doing anti-trafficking/red light district outreach for over nineteen years. It was such an encouraging trip and they all came back to Phnom Penh re-energised and filled with hope for whats ahead here in Phnom Penh! In June we set off for some vital rest time in beautiful England. It was a huge gift to spend some time with family and dear friends who have been such a huge encouragement to us. We also got to have a special anniversary trip away together to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary (our first trip without any kids with us in 9 years!) The Lord is a Good Shepherd and he knows how to restore our souls! We have come back encouraged and excited for the season ahead. When we got back to Cambodia we moved house we are feeling more settled in now and are loving the new place. The kids are also back in school and Abbie started pre school a few days a week. We are so thankful to be back! Here is a testimony from Mollie about a very recent outreach to the red light area. "Before going out that night I had word of knowledge of deep pain in tooth/jaw (my was very painful for a few seconds ) and Ponleu saw picture of the face of someone we know and someone else on our team saw laughter. So we went and sat with the lady whose face Ponleu got a picture of, and 2 older ladies (both in their 40’s). Two of these ladies had tooth ache and both were healed when we prayed much to their amazement which led to laughter! Then one of them opened up about her heart problem and also the loss of her husband a few years ago in moto accident so prayed for her. She had previously been going to church and had been a believer but the loss of her husband had really shaken her. God is going after his lost sheep! Please pray for them all." More from Mollie: God has given me a heart to see women empowered to be able to leave the bars with other great business opportunities. Often these girls have little or no education and so creating business they can thrive in is important. About a year ago God told me he was giving me creative business ideas and I had this random idea of crepe/pancake food carts. This week my friend from BSSM Emily came to visit us here in Phnom Penh and managed to somehow raise the full funds for the 1st cart ! I then went into the shop on my road and I saw a crepe making machine which I have never seen before here. This in addition to many other little signs seems to confirm this is what God wants - so watch this space as hoping to start with my first cart (similar to the one in this picture) soon. I am also developing a range of candles with my sister in law also to help bring funds/jobs for vulnerable women and girls here. We are excited to be hosting our first ever Iris Harvest school of Missions in Phnom Penh at the end of September. The school is 8 weeks long and we have students coming from India, Japan, China, America and Cambodia! We are honoured to be hosting some special guest speakers from abroad too. Please pray for us as we host our first ever Iris Harvest School in Cambodia!
Prayer points:
Thank you so much for your constant love, encouragement and support, we couldn't do any of this without you all. Much love in Jesus, Steve, Mollie, Grace, Benjy and Abbie
