To Know Jesus & Make Him Known
For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
1 Cor 9:16
1 Cor 9:16
Missions Sunday
A few weeks ago we focussed on missions during the service and heard many testimonies from the recent trip, as well as sent Rob and Lonna off to Thailand where they will be living long term. If you missed the service you can catch up on it by clicking here.
We successfully fundraised another $10,000 to complete the church building in Khampong Cham Cambodia which will be a great blessing to them and help to continue growing the church. It is such a joy and privilege to live at a time where we can so easily be part of the global church!
Rob and Lonna have moved to Chiang Rai, Thailand, where they will be focussing on improving their language ability for the next 6-12 months before exploring future options. Please continue to pray for them.

Cambodia School Outreach
The school outreach in Cambodia continues to flourish and grow, under the leadership of Lydia. It has been an amazing grace to have an open door to share the gospel in schools and Lydia is making the most of it! The above photo is a snapshot of some of this activity where she is organising some friendly soccer matches in the school as well as handing out free workbooks to the kids.
Lydia only recently graduated high school, and even though many options are before her she has decided to continue living and serving full time with the church to ensure more people hear the good news and can call on the name of Jesus to be saved. No fixed salary, just basic needs met and a deep love to see her country come to Jesus. Please keep praying for her!

Shalom Home - Thailand
Shalom home in Thailand has received 3 new girls in the last couple of months after 3 graduated and moved on. Successfully running for over 10 years, the home operates as a dormitory for high school girls from high risk situations. Please continue to pray for these girls as they go through high school and teenage years. (the baby in the photo is Ps A's granddaughter)
Please pray for Dokmai (far right) who has recently graduated university, but still has no ID documents. The government office has lost the paperwork twice already, so the current plan is for her to travel to Bangkok shortly and lodge her application there directly. Wisdom is needed for the best course of action to take, and favour for new open doors. Until the documents are granted, the university will not issue her graduation papers, nor is she allowed to work in her profession as a sports teacher.

Thailand and Cambodia Dispute
This week a long running dispute over several temples on the Thailand and Cambodia border has erupted into live fire and fighting. So far around 20 people have been killed and more than 100,000 displaced. Both want the demonic power and the prestige that comes from the temples, but we want peace!
Please pray that both leadership teams will soften their hearts and opt for diplomacy quickly.
