Dear Beloved,
Greetings, we are now in the Philippines for a 2 months visit to the churches. We arrived here September 2 and we will go back on November 2,2011. We came upon invitation to 4 Missions Conferences and Revival Meetings. We RE-NEWED the passports of Grace and Gaius as well. We also visited some new churches and some supporting churches.
For the months of July and August we had been blessed to have 57 saved and 16 Baptized in Kampong Cham. I will send you all reports for our other churches next mail.
We had Vacation Bible School this last August with 49 in attendance and 28 got saved! We were able to open a new area in Hungary Road with 30 teenagers coming for the month of August.
We were having visitation and Soul Winning last July and I met Mr. Chouern WENG. A Buddhist who became a mormon and God gripped his heart through the Word of God as we talked and he received the Lord Jesus. Now he is faithfully coming to church and helps us drive the church van. He is 46 years old, please pray that his wife will get saved!
On the first Sunday of August God allowed me to preach at the Missions Sunday of First Baptist Church of Nawong and Pathumthani in Bangkok, Thailand. Now they are supporting local and foreign missions, Glory to God!
Our English and primary Schools continues to go on. We were able to visit the National Prison in Kampong Cham again and this time we talked with Warden Kea Sovana. He is asking us to come in and teach moral values, Amen!
Our Medical and cancer check up went well. The only problem is high cholesterol and I still need to see my Nephrologist.
God has used us here for the furtherance of the Gospel as we saw souls saved and in challenging churches for MISSIONS and Christians surrender for the Lord‘s Work. We hope to raise funds for the ministries in Cambodia and as well us our family funds is depleted. We believe that God will provide as we live by faith and not by sight.
Please pray for our Prayer requests:
1) Cambodian 1 year VISA extension for the family - $480
2) Educational Materials for my sons - $ 450
3) Growth of new believers and follow up of baptismal candidates
4) Wisdom and health for Cambodian pastors and preachers
5) Building Construction in Dangkao led by Pastor Sihok
6)Workers & teachers to help us reach Kampong Cham for
Christ.
7) Penny’s Monthly Tuition for this last school year - $1,175.00
Thank you so much for your prayers and investments .
Yours for the Harvest of Souls,
Missionary Lomer Hope and Grace Dela Cruz
