Dear All:
Thank God for a full but fruitful day. The early morning devotion time and the evening time have great and touching sharings from 4 team members.
We see God’s hand in leading them to join this service even with trials and difficulties. Some went through a lot of hardship to experience God’s grace and provision for her family and some with family member in depression and flooding of her house to the extent of giving up this trip. We see clearly that it’s not because we are OK that we serve but even in the midst of difficulty and trials we determine to serve. Thank God that His grace is sufficient and His power is revealed in our weakness.
We continued our service at the plywood factory from 9:00am till 4:15pm with an hour’s break for lunch and sharing the Gospel with the workers.
Our team sang a song in Cambodian,Chinese and English. The pastor from Viheathom church–Naren shared an evangelistic message in Cambodian and gave the invitation. Among the 400+ workers, almost all raised their hands to accept Christ. Praise the Lord and pray for the follow up.
Elder Samuel Cheung trained some of our team members to do the acupuncture. Dr. David Lee is one that being trained and he switched between doing acupuncture and treating the patients.Amazing!
Thank God for the 306 being treated.
197–General ,63–Dentistry,46–
acupuncture.
We will go to Viheathom tomorrow starting the clinic in the church. Covet your prayers.
In Christ, Jonathan Chiu

Dear All:
With joy and excitement the 2012 Cambodia Medical Mission team gather together tonight in PNH. It’s so great to see the old members and welcome the new members. Every one actually paid a great price of their time and money as they paid for their own airfare and also the fees for the team.
We joined hands together and pray. With the heart to serve and touching the people for Christ, also to serve them as serving Jesus Christ.
We are going to Kampong Cham ,a town about 100 km to the North-East of PNH. We will start the free medical service at a plywood factory which owned by a Christian from Taiwan of 800 workers for two days then go to the Methodist church of Viheathom till Sunday afternoon. This is our 6th time going there. Last year some villager came from other village which is somewhat farther away. When asked why, the answer was “the Jesus doctors are better”. Pray that not only many will be treated and healed, more importantly that His church will be strengthened and His name glorified!
I’ll try my best to keep you informed when in Kampong Cham . Thank you for joining our service together with your faithful prayers.
In Christ, Jonathan Chiu
