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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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..
  7. 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

信心之旅 (第廿)  [ 20155月份]

聖靈所結的果子,就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、
信實、溫柔、節制。這樣的事,沒有律法禁止。(5:22-23)

親愛的代禱勇士們

先向各位母親恭賀母親節快樂,送上芒果兩大盤母親是家庭和教會的代禱勇士!

四月份是柬埔寨最炎熱的月份,真是太熱,使人常感到無力四月份也是芒果的收成季節過往都在市場購買芒果享用去年中心搬往現址內三棵芒果樹供應我們全中心約二十人的芒果需要不用買那個熟就摘那個這個多月未曾到市場買芒果但每天都可享受芒果誘人的滋味我們基督徒若常充滿聖靈的果子附近的人亦能享受和體驗聖靈果子的奇美滿足世人的需要
有病有痛
永祥自327日發病生蛇後,經過一星期的卧床休息,可繼續在中心服侍。永祥和玉蓮年紀已入五 (50多歲),不同的關節和肩背也會向我們投訴--疼痛不願工作。但靠著神的恩典,更認識自己的軟弱和神的大能。

有出有入
恩謝天父,大孩子歷恩於5月份中學畢業。而加拿大安大略省的YORK University接收他入學申請,主修會計。他將7月中先到加國並於九月開始入讀大學。透過差會和各愛心的兄姊,為他預備了起程費、上半年的生活費和學費。相信神在祂美好的時間,有更好的安排。

自二月份有一位從英國來的男孩子Kieran,作我們中心的短期義工至九月份。他在中心跟學生起居飲食,現正適應柬埔寨的炎熱天氣,這也令他有點吃不消。

數算主恩
有些關心的兄姊也查詢,為什麼歷恩不回香港升學,反到北美洲升學。永祥在80年代已隨父母移民至加拿大,領有加拿大護照,其後雖回流香港,所以孩子們出生時就是加拿大公民。歷恩隨父母到柬國至現在,完成了他12年的中小學課程。雖然孩子們的Home country 是中國香港、Passport country 是加拿大、Grown up country 是柬埔寨,他們是不折不扣的TCK (Third Culture Kid) 第三文化孩子----在地上是沒有根的一群,但他們郤植根在天上。

代禱事項:
1.      於五月初我們中心有三天的基督徒營會,學習“真誠敬拜,有15位出席。出營後還有半天的跟進會,討論如何在中心的環境中實踐。還有,5月中男學生會參加聯合的男生福音營,以露營的方式舉行,永祥也將隨行。求神使用營會和福音營,讓學生更像基督和認識基督,也為這兩次營會,求神供應所需的營費 (在營會收得有170美元的愛心奉獻)


2.      有三位宿生從十月信主,其中有兩位男學生尋得工作,需轉為夜校,不能出席中心聚會使我們難於跟進他們的屬靈生命和成長,在他們心田中還有很多屬世的荊棘,求神給宣教士智慧和忍耐去栽培柬國的青年基督徒。
3.      為中心的平信徒領袖祈禱,他們遇上很多屬靈的攻擊。SreyHeab 的家人反對她受浸,她的弟弟於四月底失去Motorcycle,讓她的信心低沉下來。SreyMao 正尋找神的呼召和服侍方向時,家人則期望她返村照顧年老的雙親,還有她的兄長們分別有酗酒的、有腎石的和失業的,這些事的發生使她很多掛慮。我們相信神透過這些難處測試她們的信心。
4.      神給玉蓮機會於一間基督教醫院裡協助教導院內的護士學生,求神賜智慧和恩典。
5.      為中心的宣教士和學生領袖的身心靈代禱。中心現有組長需要休息重新得力並缺乏後補組長:其次永祥身體雖已康復,仍要多作休息。然而六月和八月的短宣隊現已開始籌備了,再者要處理79月孩子升學的事宜。求神加力和人手
6.      柬埔寨現時的天氣非常炎熱,日間氣溫有36度,有時傾盆大雨,一熱一涼,很容易發病。求神賜宿生、同工和宣教士各人有身體健康。
7.      為今年度高中畢業公開考試代禱,求神使學生不要有僥倖合格的心,要盡心溫習和準備,求神使試場廉潔代禱。
主僕
永祥和玉蓮

張歷恩的感恩信 (Thank you letter of Clement Cheung)



張歷恩的感恩信/  Thank you letter of Clement Cheung

April 15, 2015

Dear Uncles and Aunties In Christ,


            My name is Clement Cheung and I am a Hong Kong missionary kid in Cambodia for the past 12 years. As I begin my transition from high school to university, the biggest obstacle I face is in the area of finance. My parents, as missionaries, do not find it easy to gather the money and resources to support me in college funds. Thankfully, God has provided our brothers and sisters in Christ who made generous donations towards this cause. I just want to thank those of you who gave magnanimously. This is only one of the many situations where God has proven himself to be the Great Provider. I have been accepted to York University in Toronto, Ontario and will most likely attend there this coming fall studying accounting. I have entrusted God with this transition as I continue to pray for more support financially and spiritually. Thank you once again, and may God bless you.

Sincerely,

Clement Cheung Lik Yan

永祥生蛇康復情況 (Update 2015年4月16日)

攝於四月份差會退修會

謝謝各代禱者和兄姊的關心, 自永祥328日發病到現在已有19, 有很多兄姊透過電郵, 短訊問安, 真是怠謝天父和多謝大家的`代禱. 329日斷症後, 有差會的傳染科醫生和腎科的醫生朋友, 適時指導下用藥和休息.

在發病初期所擔心會影響至眼部的視覺神經和其他重要神經, 終於都沒有影響. 而頭痛只是痛了首四天, 全程祗用了6粒止痛藥. 而醫生說有部份病人會有病後的延續神經痛, 至現在尚未有發生.

45日復活節後便開始回中心工作三天.  因臨近本地公假和宿舍暫休, 趕緊在學生領袖離開前處理事務和事工計劃. 醫生仍嚀祝多些休息和渴水, 減輕對腎功能的影響.

在這期間, 49日至12日有差會的退修會, 可以在酒店休息和豐富的食物. 再休息多4. 離開退修營後, 因一些誤會, 永祥不能用已有的鎖匙進入辦公室, 祗好按神的計劃, 等待同工至418日回中心才進入中心,  安心在家休養, 又可再休息多7. 神是奇妙和可稱頌的.

感謝天父, 在發病期間, 中心的義務同工忠心和中廿月盡心的服侍, 負責了受難節的電影欣賞, 柬埔寨新年的慶祝會, 參與復活節聯合崇拜, 還有交租和各式和樣的費用, 不用永祥粗心. 玉蓮則勞力耕 耘服侍天父, 還要照顧孩子和病了的永祥. 感謝天父.

代禱
  1. 51日至3日的基督徒退休會禱告主題為真敬拜”. 45日才決定有關營會已有本地牧者Bun Thoeum願作講員但地點尚要尋找所需計劃和費用求神預備.
  2. 513-16日有我們中心第一次參加男仕挑戰野営永祥也準備參與求神讓參加的學生可以信主和被福音的大能所感染.
  3. 6月份和8月份分別有兩間支持教會的短宣隊到訪後者是支持教會救恩堂的醫療短宣求神給宣教士有智慧作聯絡和籌備共同推動神的國擴張
  4.  52奉心有第二次的SAT 求神幫助她心温習奉心仍將於6日至8月初到加拿大作暑期工請為她行程代禱.
  5. 為歷恩有加拿大安大略省的約克大學接納他的大學申請感謝天父為他要完成五月的最後的中學的學期畢業和七月到加拿大升學的行程安排和所需費用代禱並在學校附近尋找屬靈的家代禱.

永祥於頭部生蛇 (2015年3月29日 Update on 2/4)

永祥已卧床休息了五天多(4月1日),因在左臉患上帶狀疱疹(俗稱生蛇),需要服藥和廿四小時卧床休息七天。
永祥數天前在鼻上生了暗瘡,慢慢再有強烈的頭痛,於星期日(28/3)被斷診為面上帶狀疱疹,因疱疹和痛楚接近左眼,怕擴散至眼部神經,要盡快用藥。但礙於藥性或許捐害永祥的腎功能,要按腎功能情況調教份量。感謝天父,自己差會的一位韓國藉傳染科專科醫生宣教士於週一晚親自出診,檢查後並跟另一位賢科醫生宣教士(乃是已跟進永祥十五年的腎科專科醫生宣教士)得識永祥腎功能情況後,確定所需藥物和份量。
感恩: 
1.
神預備了醫生宣教士來照顧。雖然頭部仍有抽搐痛,但仍可入睡。
2.
在金邊可購得所需藥物。
3.
孩子們和Kitty 自身已有對水痘病毒的抗體。
代禱
1.
為永祥的康復和休息代禱,減低藥物和這病毒所造成的後遺症和對腎功能的傷害。
2.
Kitty要全負責家中大小事情和孩子所需;還有繼續中心的事工。
3.
為中心的事奉代禱。平常中心運作,永祥部份的工作由中心的義務同工訂替。復活節的記念活動和教導減至最少,求神加添聰明智慧和能力給各義務同工,同心服事。
