Miracles and Open Doors in Cambodia<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Russell & Sandra Board<\/p>\n

From September 26 through October 6, Russell traveled to Cambodia to help direct a team in several exciting and adventurous ministry efforts. Led by Mandy Lester, the team included members from the US, Philippines and Japan. We greatly appreciate those who sacrificed time and money to make the long, arduous trip to this part of the world.<\/p>\n

First stop was a former prison, now a museum honoring the victims of the Khmer Rouge terror under the dictator Pol Pot. Visiting there and the \u201ckilling fields,\u201d we learned about the estimated 2 million people (nearly 25% of the population) who lost their lives by execution or starvation from 1975-1979. No family was untouched by this holocaust, which has left a legacy of fear, shame and injustice that afflicts that nation to this present day.<\/p>\n

The team began their ministry in Pursat, site of a recent church plant. Three clinic tables were set up outside the small church building, which served as a pharmacy and prayer room. While the nurses and interpreters examined patients, other team members gathered the children for games, songs and Bible stories. We thank God for the bold and faithful 70-year-old sister who has volunteered to assist the young pastor in this community!<\/p>\n

Next we journeyed by bus to the remote village of Andong Preng, accessed by dirt roads and not yet supplied with electric power. The Lord granted amazing favor with the Buddhist village chief, who opened up the school building for us, and invited surrounding villages to join us. Here we saw the Lord perform several miracles of healing, including the lame 84-year-old head of the local Buddhist temple. This man was carried into the clinic, and after prayer he was up walking around for the first time in 3 years! After seeing this miracle, his wife gave her heart to Jesus! Soon many were coming to the clinic looking for Jesus (whose name they had never heard!), because they heard about what He had done!<\/p>\n

After two days of clinic and children\u2019s ministry, the village chief held a ceremony to thank us, invite us back, and offer land on which to build a church! Thanks to People to People Ministries, funds have been raised to dig a water well near the church, which will serve the whole village.<\/p>\n

The final clinic was held in Champay, a village that 8 years ago was in much the same primitive shape as Andong Preng. The church there began through a feeding program sponsored by People to People. Thanks to the faithful labors of the local pastor and the partnership of donors and workers from the US, there is now a beautiful church and school on the property, and the village has been supplied with electricity. This is transformational ministry!<\/p>\n

Dirigido por Mandy Lester, el equipo incluy\u00f3 a miembros de los EE.UU., Filipinas y Jap\u00f3n. Agradecemos mucho a los que sacrificaron tiempo y dinero para hacer el largo y arduo viaje a esta parte del mundo. La primera parada fue una antigua prisi\u00f3n, ahora un museo en honor a las v\u00edctimas del terror de los jemeres rojos bajo el dictador Pol Pot. Visitar all\u00ed y el "campos de la muerte," hemos aprendido sobre los aproximadamente 2 millones de personas (casi el 25% de la poblaci\u00f3n) que perdieron la vida por la ejecuci\u00f3n o el hambre a partir 1975-1979. Sin familia fue tocado por este holocausto, que ha dejado un legado de miedo, la verg\u00fcenza y la injusticia que afecta a esa naci\u00f3n para el d\u00eda de hoy. El equipo comenz\u00f3 su ministerio en Pursat, sitio de una planta de la iglesia reciente. Tres mesas cl\u00ednicas se establecieron fuera del edificio de la iglesia peque\u00f1a, que sirve como una sala de farmacia y la oraci\u00f3n. Mientras que las enfermeras y los pacientes examinados int\u00e9rpretes, otros miembros del equipo se reunieron los ni\u00f1os para los juegos, canciones e historias de la Biblia. Agradecemos a Dios por la hermana de 70 a\u00f1os de edad, audaz y fiel que se ha ofrecido para ayudar al joven pastor en esta comunidad! A continuaci\u00f3n viajamos en autob\u00fas hasta el remoto pueblo de Andong Preng, se accede por caminos de tierra y a\u00fan no se alimenta con energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica. El Se\u00f1or le concedi\u00f3 el favor incre\u00edble con el jefe del pueblo budista, que abri\u00f3 el edificio de la escuela para nosotros, e invit\u00f3 a los pueblos vecinos a unirse a nosotros. Aqu\u00ed vimos el Se\u00f1or realizar varios milagros de curaci\u00f3n, incluyendo la hoja de metal de 84 a\u00f1os de edad cabecera del templo budista local. Este hombre fue llevado a la cl\u00ednica, y despu\u00e9s de la oraci\u00f3n que estaba caminando alrededor por primera vez en 3 a\u00f1os! Despu\u00e9s de ver este milagro, su esposa dio su coraz\u00f3n a Jes\u00fas! Pronto muchos ven\u00edan a la cl\u00ednica en busca de Jes\u00fas (cuyo nombre nunca hab\u00edan o\u00eddo!), Porque se enteraron de lo que hab\u00eda hecho! Despu\u00e9s de dos d\u00edas de la cl\u00ednica y el ministerio de los ni\u00f1os, el jefe del pueblo llev\u00f3 a cabo una ceremonia gracias a nosotros, nos invitan de nuevo, y ofrecer un terreno para construir una iglesia! Gracias a People to People Ministerios, los fondos se han planteado para excavar un pozo de agua cerca de la iglesia, que servir\u00e1 de todo el pueblo. La \u00faltima cl\u00ednica se realiz\u00f3 en Champay, un pueblo que hace 8 a\u00f1os era casi de la misma forma primitiva como Andong Preng. La iglesia comenz\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de un programa de alimentaci\u00f3n patrocinado por People to People. Gracias a los fieles labores de pastor local y la asociaci\u00f3n de donantes y trabajadores de los EE.UU., ahora hay una hermosa iglesia y la escuela en la propiedad, y el pueblo ha sido alimentadas con energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica. Este es el ministerio transformacional Puntos para la oraci\u00f3n:<\/strong> \u2022 Ore por los misioneros Sam y Merlen Lamanilao, que fue pionero en el trabajo en Camboya y continuar liderando todos los ministerios de la formaci\u00f3n, la divulgaci\u00f3n y la plantaci\u00f3n de iglesias. Por favor considere apoyar su ministerio a trav\u00e9s de # 24301S proyecto. \u2022 Ore por Channy, la hermana que se ha ofrecido a ser pastor de la nueva iglesia en Andong Preng, y para los otros pastores que sirven en las iglesias de los pueblos. \u2022 Ore por los pr\u00f3ximos viajes a Australia y Nepal, para un viaje seguro y fecundo ministerio para el Reino de Cristo. \u2022 Ore por los nuevos trabajadores, nuevos recursos y nuevas v\u00edas de ministerio para alcanzar a los no alcanzados en Asia.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/11\/Board.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-le","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
