Good Works for the Needy
Did you know God can use anyone to 
be His instrument of blessing, even those who are in the field for short mission trips? Recently the Lord touched the hearts of two such sisters-in-Christ, who willingly gave to the slum ministry. We were entrusted to purchase and deliver 5kg of rice, a bottle of cooking oil, 1kg of sugar and salt to the families in our cell groups.

We were entrusted to purchase and deliver 5kg of rice, a bottle of cooking oil, 1kg of sugar and salt to the families in our cell groups.
Currently we have 5 cell groups in the Boeung Trabek slums where many families live in very poor conditions while waiting for the allocation of land. For some, the wait has been a few months, while others have been waiting for years and even a decade! This year we made use of the King’s birthday, which is a public holiday to give out the provisions. Our main aim was to visit each member’s home to pray for their well being and salvation of their family members. We want to claim that where we tread upon, that family belongs to the Lord!
Each Thursday and Friday we have a time of worship, testimony and bible study in different houses. One thing l had learnt to overcome is the noise surrounding us because the cell group is held with doors wide open. There will be children playing, running or popping in, sellers peddling their wares, people gambling nearby and even monks who come in the middle of our meetings.
Praise God for all these because not only do the cell group members get to hear the Word of God, the people around us are listening too and all these seeds are sown into their lives awaiting for the right time to harvest! Please pray for us because only God can bring conviction into all these precious lives as they see and hear what we are doing.
At the same time we are modeling for our youths what the “hand and mouth of the gospel” look like. By giving or lending a helping hand to the needy, we are showing the love of God. More so we need the fruit of the Spirit who enables us to love, show kindness, goodness etc (Gal 5:22-23)
The sage adage is true: the world doesn’t care what we know until they see how much we care for them.
Prayer items:
1) Pray for God's given creativity in outreach
2) Pray for more patience and love for our disciples and people whom we minister
3) Pray for humility and sensitivity towards the needs of the people
