Seeing Chjantee again

Back in October 2009 I posted an article about Baby Chjantee.

"She was born with a hair lip and double cleft pallet. She was a small baby and her mother was unable to breastfeed her. At 5 days old she was in hospital and in a coma for two days, not expected to survive. Babies like Chjantee would normally die."

We now go to a house church so I had not seen Chjantee for many months, happily though I bumped into Anne Turner and Chjantee recently in the supermarket. Wow has she grown into a beautiful little girl! I was very excited to see her. Chjantee has now been formally adopted by her nanny and continues to thrive.

Chjantee and the countless other children I meet; who would not have survived without the aid of tireless workers supporting and empowering Khmer communities, really bring a blessing to my heart and strong sense of purpose here in Cambodia.

Unfortunately, for each happy little child like Chjantee there are still so many who do not survive, who live in poverty or are slaves to viscous cycles of abuse.

Please pray for workers to enter the harvest-field that is Cambodia.
