Col and Grace

We are having a hugely blessed month with our visitors. Colin and Grace Shaw, long-time precious friends from Toowoomba, have just left after four days with us. Colin brought Prayer Summits to New Zealand - which is how I initially connected with him in the mid-1990's.

Some days we move devotions into Daa's bedroom so that he can participate. Sopheap is leading this day. That is little Long with his mum in yellow outfit on the bunks - the little guy who came to us as a cripple last year and is now walking just great. I'll get a blog up on him sometime soon.

Four great days together - Colin and Grace heading out yesterday morning.

One of the highlights was connecting Pastor Mara with Colin and Grace. God has clearly spoken to Mara about relational unity among church leaders so Col's passion in this area found a ready resonance. Also, when Colin spoke about 'healing of the land' amongst villages in Melanesia, Mara was totally all ears.

Cambodia is a nation of villages. Pastor Mara was raised in a village and village people quickly comprehend the relationship between the sin of a community and the resulting curse on the land. I trust that this short visit from Colin and Grace has sown very significant seeds that will result in long-term Kingdom purpose.
