Looking back to the first

day when I and Nimol

arrived at Christchurch, I

praised God for

calling us to do hismission here in Christchurch. I talked to

God God this is big, responding toreach out to my people here. I trust you

to go along with us and do your work here "

Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but

the workers are few. Ask the Lord of theharvest, therefore, to send out workers

into his harvest field . Time never waits

for us. Almost four months later we re

getting more settled and quickly

adjusting to living here. Thank for your

support, concern and prayers. We feltwarm seeing your smiles and you were

very friendly to us. It makes us feelconfident to move in our journey with

the Lord here.

Thank God that day to day he is alwaysraising us up with him to feel confident

to talk and build relationships with otherpeople, especially Cambodians here.

Whenever we talk to Cambodians, we

feel that God is with us and we are

connecting with the people. We askedthe Lord to send out workers into his

harvest field. Praise God now we haveestablished the Cambodian Leadership

Team who are committed to followChrist and to be growing as Jesus

disciples.

We always have prayer meetings andBible study. Keep praying for them

( Sophorn, brother Sour, Pov and

Boravie, Socheat& Vira) - these are

husbands and wives.

One other thing, we would like toshare with you is the great joy we had

glorifying the Lord on 6th of May atour Fellowship meeting. Thanks be to

God who is always faithful to us. Eventhough we feel it is hard his grace

strengthens us.

I taught the Cambodians here aboutwhy Jesus washed disciple s feet.

John 13: 4-18, Jesus wanted to teach

us: 

June 2012

To Belong, To Grow, To Influence 

Sam and Nimol Mom

 

To Belong, To Grow, To Influence 

He is going to his father because

one of his disciple will betray

him.

Everyone has to be cleansed by the

water ( feet are our sin and

water is the Word of God)

He is our servant king. - He

humbled himself to serve us. If 

we did some things wrong to

each other wash each other s to

make reconciliation.

Jesus is the servant king. He showed

humility to the disciples and for the

people around the world. He served us

and paid our sin on the cross.

After the sermon we brought them to

see what is reality for Bill and Rita,

serving Cambodians for more than 17

years. Why did they treat us so well

like a servant?

Because Jesus served them first .Their

heart from the Lord is to serve in order

to share God s love. We explained that

what Jesus did is similar to our culture,

when at a wedding ceremony the

groom and bride wash each other s feet,

serving each other after they became one

life.

We normally do this for parents/ or

grandparents to show great respect and

gratitude for their serving, teaching,

coaching, loving and care.

We invited Rita to share about her cancer

and that the doctor has said that she has 5-

6 months to live. People felt sad about

this. We did feet washing for Bill and Rita

to show our great respect and

thankfulness. We pray for her every night.

Please keep her in your prayers.

I didn t expect about 80 people to come

on that evening fellowship. The presence

of God came with us, with tears and

emotion. Please pray in particular for the

Cambodian Fellowship changing to

regular services next month.

Blessings  Sam and Nimol Mom

Our sympathy and prayers are with Sam

and Nimol on the passing of Sam s father.

Sam is currently in Cambodia.

Kids ChurchRecently I went to a training session on Faith at home . We as leaders were challengedonce again by the fact that faith being taught, shared and shown at home will have an

80% chance of being taken up by your children. This can be through Parents, Grand

Parents, Aunties and Uncles. We have been told that young people are looking for

authenticity, they struggle when they see adults going to church on a Sunday but notliving this out during the rest of the week. They therefore come to the conclusion that

churches can be hypocritical, saying one thing but doing another. I need to constantly remindmyself to let my children know when I have prayed and what the out come has been, to tell them

my God stories and to have those conversations at home after church about how can we apply what

we have heard into our every day lives. Young people are looking for truth in the adults they have

everyday dealings with. This is a great challenge and hopefully later in the year we will run someevents on a Sunday morning where we can teach some skills to help with this.

NGAGE 

Do you need to ENGAGE? Do you need a group to belong to for fellowship,encouragement in your own spiritual growth and effective journey sharing? Please

come and talk to me!

We re in the month of mid year Christmas potluck dinners. What fun! This is a

wonderful opportunity for Engage and Ministry Groups to plan events that include friends,neighbours, work colleagues . It makes a difference if we help each other to host meals where we

have chosen to invite one or two people we re praying for.

I have a little box called Table Talk - great to use these cards to stimulate conversation which willgive easy opportunities to ask opening questions like what made Christmas special for you whenyou were growing up? Anyone is welcome to borrow my little box for your special event! The

calendar year offers a number of strategic opportunities we can use as we live our vision:

To Belong, To Grow, To Influence. Arohanui Margaret

Y@P (Youth at Papanui) Well it s basically the middle of the year! What beautiful autumn weather we have had as

we now head into winter. It was a real privilege for us to run a service last month and letyou know what s been going on for us at Y@P. We had many of you thank us for the

stories, roaring like a lion, seeing hope and that we should be doing it more often.

It is only about 4 weeks till the missions trip to Fiji (July 1-15), anticipation is building aswe work on final preparations for this trip. Thank you so much for your support and

prayers. We believe we will come back changed and ready to be a practical light in ourcommunity.

We have felt recently God has been challenging us as leaders to ask where people are at. Luke 11:9

(NIV) “  And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and 

 you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”As we have asked many have puttheir hands up to follow Jesus with more intent, many have said they would like to be baptised, many

have said they would like to be involved in local mission. These are exciting times, but also times of great struggle in this broken world. We continue to face issues of suicidal thoughts, self harm, eating

disorders, low self esteem and the list goes on. Please pray that God will give us wisdom to know whatto say (or not to say), to refer when necessary, to continue to love, journey and be there for these young

people in need of Jesus.
