Faith Journey
(The Prayer Letter #25)
[May, 2015 Version]
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such
things there is no law. (Gal 5:22-23)
Dear all Prayer Partners in Christ
But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
forbearance, kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such
things there is no law. (Gal 5:22-23)
We want to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. Mothers
are very important at homes and church because they are devoted prayer
warriors. Gifts of Mangoes of Cambodia for Mother's Day!
Mangoes and Spiritual Fruits of Holy Spirit
April is the
hottest month of the year in Cambodia. In order to mitigate the scorching heat
of Phnom Penh we turn to the juicy mangoes that are overflowing in the market
place. Our family used to purchase these delicious fruits from the vendors.
However, ever since our dorm moved to a different campus, we do not have to go
through such hassle anymore. There are three mango trees in the yard of the new
dormitory and whenever April comes around, these trees would be brimming with
our favorite fruits. The trees would be producing mangoes at an insane rate,
and our house would be filled with mangoes ALL THE TIME. This experience is
very similar to what the Holy Spirit can do in our lives. With the Holy Spirit
in us, we can produce fruits of the spirit in such abundance that our neighbors
can experience the benefit of the Holy Spirit.
Sickness and Rest
On March 27, we found out that Jamson has developed
shingles. Due to his sickness, he was bed-ridden for an entire week and had to
stop working during that period. Both Jamson and Kitty are already over fifty
years of age and their painful joints/ back are requesting a rest. But because
of God’s grace, we can better understand and experience the power of God to
help us endure through this time of trial.
In and Out 有出有入
Our oldest son Clement is graduating in May and has
been accepted into York University, Ontario Canada. He is planning to study
accounting there. He would be leaving in July and start his studies in
September. Thanks to the loving brothers and sisters of Christ who have made
donations to aid him in our financial need. We will continue to trust in God to
support us and our children.
From February, we have been hosting an English
brother named Kieran who is helping us in our Jabez Ministry in the dormitory
until September. He is currently residing with our dorm students in the
dormitory to get to know the students better. He is finding it difficult to
gather energy in this immense heat.
Count the Blessing
Some caring brothers and sisters have asked why Clement
is not going back to Hong Kong for post-secondary studies, but to North America
instead. Ever since Clement was born, he has been holding a Canadian passport
because Jamson had been Canadian Citizen in the 80’s. During his time in
Canada, Jamson came to know Christ and heard Him calling to go back to Hong
Kong where he was commissioned to evangelize in Cambodia. For Clement, his home
country is Hong Kong, passport country is Canada, and childhood country is
Cambodia. He is the very definition of TCK (Third Culture Kid). There is
nowhere he can really call home except for the promised home in heaven.
Prayer Items:
- At the beginning of May, Jabez Ministry had a three day retreat for the dormitory students. The theme was “true worship” and there were 15 attendees. After the retreat, there was even a half day follow-up meeting to discuss what the students learned. In the middle of May there would be another gospel camp for the male students. The budget for this event has not yet been reached despite a generous donation of 170 USD. Pray that God will provide.
- There were 3 students who came to Christ in October. Two of the
male students are working day jobs and attending night classes and can not
show up to the center’s meetings. We are worried about their spiritual
life and growth.
- Pray for the students leaders in the ministry because they are
under spiritual attacks. SreyHeab, one of the leaders, was about to be
baptized when her family members, who were fine with her converting to
Christianity, suddenly refuse to allow her to be baptized. Her younger
brother, who also live in the Jabez dormitory, lost his motorcycle
recently. These unfortunate events caused her to be discouraged. SreyMao
is looking for God’s calling and the direction of which God wants her to
serve. Her parents want her to return to the province to help take care of
them and her brother has an alcoholic problem which makes her anxious.
Pray that God will take care of them and their families.
- God has opened a door for Kitty, who is a registered nurse in Hong
Kong, to teach a nursing class in a Christian hospital. Pray that God will
give her wisdom and grace to be a good example there.
- Pray for the stress Jamson and Kitty are facing. Jamson’s health is
still questionable and requires rest to get better. However, there are
mission teams coming in June and August. There are sill many things to
prepare and not much time to rest. Pray that God will provide and give
them sufficient strength to accomplish his will and keep a healthy body at
the same time.
- The temperature in
Cambodia is very messy. The heat would be unbearable for a while then rain
would come to cool everything down. The change in temperature makes our
bodies vulnerable to diseases. Pray that God would heal and protect us,
our fellow colleagues, and dormitory students from any bodily harm..
- Please pray for the
coming High School Graduate Public Exam, pray for the students for better
preparation and non-bribery exam center.
In Christ
Jamson
and Kitty

Clement, Evelyn and Phoebe
