Three Requests

1. Doors

“Praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance.” Colossians 4:3

You can’t share the Gospel without some open door for communication between you and a lost person. We need open doors of communication in order to see souls saved and churches planted in Pailin, Cambodia.

Please pray for doors!

This Cambodian door was drawn by Jennifer Perkins Lowry who came to minister to our team in 2006

2. Words

“Praying . . . for me that utterance [words] may be given unto me.” Ephesians 6:18-19

Not only do we need open doors of communication, but we also need the words to say when God gives us a door. Paul mentions two ways in which he would like to speak when given an open door:
1. Speak Boldly (Ephesians 6:20)
2. Speak Clearly (Colossians 4:4)
We need both bold and clear words to speak the Gospel in Pailin, Cambodia.

Please pray for words!

3. Fruit

“Pray for us that the Word of the Lord may have free course [bear fruit], and be glorified even as it is with you.”
II Thessalonians 3:1

Open doors and words are necessary but not sufficient. Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica was met with great fruit. We must pray for real spiritual fruit in Pailin, Cambodia.

Please pray for fruit!

These three requests were adapted from a sermon by a friend, Tim Richmond, who is a missionary evangelist in New York City.
