Water tragedy testimony

Testimonies are emerging as to the graciousness and faithfulness of God and opportunities to the share the gospel.

Revelation 12:11 declares the triumph of our brothers and sisters over the evil one by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony.

Here is a testimony from a dear friend of mine.
(I asked her if I could share what I recalled with you)

Cambodian Harvest.
Marion needed to call a new contact for her organization which operates here in Phnom Penh
She was given the number and dialed it.
Unbeknown to her, she had entered the numbers incorrectly.
A Khmer voice answered, he did not know what she was talking about.
She handed the phone to her Khmer co-worker so he could explain who they were hoping to talk to.
(Still unaware they had dialed the wrong number)
Instead of dialing a new contact she had dialed a moto dop here in Phnom Penh.
"No" he said, he did not know the person they were after nor the organization they were after,
but neither could he ask his wife, for she was in hospital after being crushed on the bridge.
The Khmer worker chatted for some time with the man.
They arranged to go and visit the man's wife in hospital.
They went to the hospital to bless the family and pray for the wife.
When they said Amen the moto dop asked her if they knew Jesus.
Yes my friend replied, before asking if the man and his wife new Jesus. No, they did not know Jesus. Someone had come to their village and showed the Jesus film and so he had heard the word Amen before and thus made the connection.
Marion and her friend were able to share briefly about Jesus and gave the man some Khmer bible tracts.
They also gave the family their contact details so they could contact them if they needed anything or had questions.

What a blessing to hear of God's mercy and grace in the wake of such tragedy.
Please pray for ongoing opportunities for the gospel to be shared Cambodian people.
