Jenny & I have both started Bible studies on Mon-Wed-and Fri after english class in the evening. Last night was my first class. Two men stayed for it, which is pretty good considering we are in Cambodia. These two new believers had been Christians for 2.5mths and 1 month. I asked them why they decided to follow Jesus rather than Buddha (whom they have previously followed). One said that he used to always be stressed about things and never had peace. When he believed on Jesus, he had peace. The other said that with Buddhism, there was an awareness of sin, but with Jesus, there was the forgiveness of sin. How simple, yet how powerful. So I started teaching them the basics, starting with Genesis. But, when they were a little confused about the origen of Satan, I went back a few (million, maybe billion) years to the creation of Lucifer and the angels, etc. These new believers are so in need of good discipleship. As all are here in Cambodia. It is not uncommon to see someone who has been a Christian for 2 or 3 years, not reading the Bible or professing any real Biblical knowledge. Teachers (and Lovers) are in high need here. So, pray for Jenny & I; that God's hand and anointing would be upon these classes. We would love to see increase beyond what we can imagine, but, even if our numbers are small, we would love to see abundant fruit in the life of even one. Our ministry (our very lives) are in His hand.
Revelation 21:4 And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. There shall be no more death; there shall be no more mourning, or crying or pain; for the first things have passed away.
