Dear Family and Friends,

As we enter the month of November, I wanted to share a few prayer needs within our team and with the Cambodian believers:

1. Physical Needs

The last couple of weeks have been challenging physically for both Cambodians and Americans. Almost every single family in the Inheritance in Christ Church has significant physical issues that are dominating their lives. Please pray especially for Phuek and Prum’s baby, Seuw-ee, who has been sick for nearly her entire five months of life with a number of illnesses including Dengue Fever. Their unsaved neighbors are persecuting them saying that their daughter’s health problems stem from not properly appeasing the local spirits.

2. Spiritual Needs

As with any ministry, there are always spiritual needs. Some of our biggest spiritual struggles in the church body here have to do with the plethora of believing wives with unsaved husbands. This is a common problem worldwide for sure. In this small assembly, there are at least four ladies with unrepentant husbands. Once again, I bring them before you to intercede for them:
1. Srey Po’s husband, Pisut
2. Srey Peul’s husband, Aun
3. Srey Mum’s husband, Phira
4. Our helper, Ong’s husband, Kayung
Pray especially for our helper, Ong, as it appears that her husband has recently been unfaithful to her, partly to persecute her for her faith in Jesus.

3. Teaching Needs

Praise the Lord for an open door to teach God’s Word again in Bakan district (about 40 minutes from Pursat town). I have begun teaching two men on Tuesday mornings. Please pray for Khaun and Mau to grow in their knowledge of the Gospel and the basic truths of the Bible.

4. Traveling Needs

In less than three weeks, Heidi and Isaac will be traveling to Singapore early (due to airline regulations) for the birth of Baby T. Rachel, Susanna, and I plan to remain in Pursat for at least three more weeks before we head to Singapore in early December. Please pray for Heidi and Isaac as they travel to Singapore on November 19 and for continued good health for Heidi and the baby.

Thanks for “holding the ropes!”

Until the net is full,

Chris
