Meet Chang, one of Cambodia's hidden treasures. He's just headed back home after a week with us to get mobile again. His pushbike is waiting and he was keen as to get back on it and evangelise villages in his district again.
Chang used to be a monk. He spent three years in 'Monk School' and then did the real McCoy for a year. As such, he understands Buddhist thought and practice extremely well and has a very effective ministry out in the villages. He has been a Christian for just three years and works as an evangelist now.
Part of his story has to do with being sick and unable to walk for years. Then he came to Jesus; his pastor prayed for his legs and off he went! He packs a small Bible and a bunch of photos in his shirt pocket, using the pics of his sick days to testify that Jesus is his healer. His joy is absolutely striking.
I took him the 20 minutes thru' to CSI clinic together with another chap on Monday (yes, two passengers on the bike is standard for me now!). Chang sang gently non-stop all that time. He returned beaming. His swollen, painful knee (a result of a moto driving into him) was looking much better - the doc popped the knee-cap back in.
