Dear Friends and Family,
Hello from New Jersey! We are back in the USA and busy raising support for our next term.
As we are busy traveling and raising support the development of our Nara & Grandpa Choy Sunday School curriculum is continuing to go on. But things have taken on a multi-national flare!
Our Cambodian artist is continuing to produce new artwork in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Our scriptwriter, however, recently moved to Australia, so he is communicating with the artist by internet to lay-out what needs to be in each picture. Then the artist is sending those pictures to us in the USA and our scriptwriter in Australia for approval and feedback. So our team is now spread out over three continents and still working together to reach the kids in Cambodia!
In reality, this isn’t always a smooth process. There are approximately 260 individual drawings for the entire program, and we have about 1/3 completely finished, and another 1/3 that are partly finished, and another 1/3 that haven’t even been started. Our goal is to have everything finished before we return to the field next summer. And this is just one aspect of the things we need to do to finish the entire curriculum. Please pray with us that the Holy Spirit would guide and direct us and help us to communicate and work together well to finish the project.
October is a month of holidays in Cambodia. This weekend, October 29th and 31st, are two of the biggest. The 29th is the anniversary of the coronation of the King, and the 31st is the anniversary of the former King’s birthday. In one sense, this is exactly why we work in Cambodia. We want to tell the people of Cambodia about the King of Kings, whose birthday we celebrate each December, and help them to crown Him king of their lives. So as the Cambodian people celebrate their Cambodian King, please pray with us that they would also come to know and celebrate the King of Kings, Jesus Christ!
This past month we had services in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina and New Jersey. We put almost 5000 miles on our car! November, with Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season, isn’t as busy. In addition to various meetings with pastors and other meetings, we will be speaking at churches in the following cities;
Vineland, NJ
Providence, RI
Philadelphia, PA
Warren, RI
Williamstown, NJ
Lake Hiawatha, NJ
Please pray with us that God would bless these meetings and help us to share the vision of what God is doing in Cambodia.
