Court update and missionaries in Cambodia.

Hi everyone.
In regard to updates on the court cases of Mike Stockwell, Mike Overd, Adrian Clark, and Don Carns. They will be going back to court for 2 more sittings. The pre-trial sitting will be on 18th January 2017. The pre-trial sitting is to go through the prosecution witnesses statements to see what the actual accusations are. And, as can be expected, it seems that the statements are based more on peoples feelings than on what actually happened. The dates for the trial are the, 23-24th, 27 and 28 of Feb. and on the 1st of March in 2017. Praise God that the court dates were set this early! Please continue to pray for these men.

This week was our off week of abortion ministry so I do not have much to say on the what happened there. I did ask Chloe how it went and she said that when she got there with Rachel there were no "deathscorts." I wonder if the abortion mill was closed.

This Saturday we did have the honor of having our friend Heap Him, over for the evening. Heap is our brother in Christ from Cambodia. Heap is a native of Cambodia and grew up during the reign of Pol Pot. Heap fled and narrowly escaped being bombed out of a ditch. Praise God for saving his life. Later he met his mother and some of his siblings in a refugee camp but he never saw his father again. Today Heap is married to Jennifer and they have 7 children. They live in Cambodia and run a therapy center for children and adults who suffer from brain injuries. At their therapy center, Lina's Hope, they provide therapy for nearly 20 people, 3 of whom they have adopted.

On Saturday night Heap came over to share with us about what is going on in Cambodia. He has many stories to tell about the therapy center and just the life in general. Aside from many other things, Heap will not soon run out of stories of troubles in transportation!

There are many stories that could be told about the Children and adults from Lina's Hope but in any case it is apparent that these children are being taught that every human being is created in the image of God and no matter what the culture and their religion may say these people are to be treated with dignity and respect. In Cambodia they believe reincarnation, in which they say that if someone has a disability they deserve it because of something they did in a past life. May God continue to shine the light of Gospel into this dark country and may God grant repentance and faith to the people of this land. And may God continue to bless the work of the Him family as they minister to the low and rejected members of the people. To see more stories about what God is doing in their ministry watch this video here. I do have to say, Sophanna and Leakanah are just adorable!  And I would like to say thank you to Heap for the beautiful bags.

Prayer
Please continue to pray for Mike, Mike, Adrian, and Don. And pray for those who are bringing false charges against them. Pray that God would grant repentance and faith to those who persecute those who are serving the Lord with their lives. Pray for all the men and women across the country who are going to be out this winter serving the Lord through preaching and abortion ministry. They will not let the cold weather stop their mission to serve Christ and share the Gospel with this lost and dying world.

P.S. To listen to the audio of Matty Mac's gender comment listen here. Sorry for the swearing.

With love in the Lord,
Virginia.
