Daa

Chantol massaging some special stuff into Grand-dad's feet. Our girls are such treasures!!

Grand-dad came to our home two weeks ago. He is 83 years old and has never, ever been to a city before, let alone such a big city as Phnom Penh. Further, he has never heard of Jesus; has no knowledge of Christians or our faith.

Daa (Khmer for grandfather) was suspicious at first. He could not understand why our staff and volunteers were so nice and caring to him.

Last Wednesday Chantol shared on the love of God at devotions. Daa got it. The penny proverbially dropped. He has become a big fan of Prrayer Ong.

He is such a character! The folk here are regularly hooting with laughter over his stories and his witty comments. His grand-daughter Channey brought him to us as he had 'itchy skin'. We reckon that she really just wanted her dear old grand-dad to hear about Jesus.
