Happy Marty

On Sunday we were really privileged to head back to Pastor Abraham's work 8km out of Phnom Penh. We've had a bit to do with him recently, helping him navigate the wonders of a NZ visitor's visa permit. He asked us to come and speak with his congregation made up entirely of residents evicted from their city slums three years prior and now allocated land outside the city. 'Preach and pray for the sick' was the brief.

This sounded too good for Marty and Robyn to miss, so we were a foursome in the tuktuk. It was an excellent time - such a new church planted amongst the poor. There was a testimony from a new Christian guy who shared how much his life had changed - he used to go around stabbing people ... A former monk has composed nine songs in Khmer vibe and he sang an amazing new composition - about the hope that we now carry even though life is very difficult.

A young lady sharing how the Lord touched her when she was prayed for - all the pain from her jaw had gone now. Sorry about the pic quality

God loves to move among a people who have no second options! We prayed for about 30 people and three spoke a little later about receiving immediate healing. Pastor Abraham phoned in today to say that 'many more' say that they are much better now. Wonderful!
