On Monday, October 12, I flew from Bangkok to Phnom Penh at dawn. I arrived in Phnom Penh around 9:00 a.m., where Missionary Lydia Kim serves, and to the Friendship Nursing College, which Korea invested in, and we prayed together there.
Then we went to the apartment where Lydia Kim lives and where the Saturday Bible study and Sunday worship services are held. Ivan S. gave a 5-minute message. The message was titled "I Will Not Forget You" (Isaiah 49:15). After that, we shared prayer topics and prayed together for the Cambodia and Thailand ministry. We shared a meal at a Korean restaurant and spent time hearing about and understanding the Cambodia ministry over the years.
The prayer topics for Cambodia are as follows:
1. Please pray that Sinan P. will study in Korea and become a professor-shepherd so that she may lead and continue the Cambodia UBF ministry. We also hope she can establish a house church of faith.
2. Since M. Lydia Kim is currently serving the ministry alone, she is lonely and needs coworkers with whom she can pray together. Because the Bible students here are thirsty for English, we pray for English-speaking silver missionaries to come and teach English for a short period of time, such as 3 or 6 months, while co-working in campus ministry, then continuing to go out by passing the baton to others.
3. For self-support, she will begin a new job on October 19 at Sejong Institute, which is about an hour and a half away from her current home. Please pray that God may provide her as she is a self-supporting missionary.
Thank God for compassion on the Cambodia ministry and for allowing M. Lydia Kim to serve the hopeful Bible students. Thank God for guiding this unworthy servant to set aside a day to visit Cambodia, pray, and offer comfort.
