Dear Friends,

I (Jessica) would like to inform you that our website is now “cambodiacrossroads.com” (only took out “wordpress”). Please bear with me since there will be some design changes here and there as I gradually learn the ropes of maintaining this site.

For past Crossroads updates from 2009-2011 please go to our old website at: http://www.cambodiacrossroads.org/

Thanks for visiting and praying for us!

Dear friends,

What an amazing testimony of how God is working in the lives of one family. Since Karanin, the eldest brother who was the 1st in the family to come Christ, God continues to build up His story amongst Karanin’s family. Karanin to Karano to Seakna to Sitha to their mother to Sithiang to Mesa and now to Lada.

Lada believed that it was God’s providence to be given an opportunity to work at the Pepper Enterprise. After he had repeatedly rejected Christ, he realized that he was so ‘trapped’ in life. By the grace of God, he realized that God has not given up hope in in him.

At the plantation Lada is the supervisor. There, he learned God’s Word regularly and was powerfully influenced by the Crossroads graduates working alongside him.

We praise the Lord for His faithfulness. Indeed, a mighty God is our fortress, and therefore, He is our hope. Please pray for Lada’s spiritual growth and for all the Crossroads co-workers managing the farm: Chenda, Karano, Potra, Bora, Mesa, and Pheaktra, that they will be sensitive to the Spirit’s guidance in helping to meet the workers’ physical and spiritual needs.

 

Overcoming the Strongholds: The Pillars have moved      into a new premise in His timing.  It is ideal for ministry use and ministry expansion.  The building is near a local University and has a capacity for 36 residents with sufficient space for meeting purpose.

The landlord has great favor for us and was willing to lease us with an ideal rental amount. However, his attitude took a complete change after we have moved into the new premise. Unbelievable misunderstanding began to happen which has affected the relationship badly. Pls pray for His grace and mercy for us.

We believe that there is a spiritual warfare going on as the owner is a very devout worshipper of a few gods. He lives on the ground floor. Pls pray for Rathana to have wisdom and discernment in leading the believers to experience God in this time of trials.

 

Many blessings,

David Ooi. 

Dear friends,

We are so thankful to the Lord as we are being integrated into the body of Christ in Seattle. During this period of adjustment, we have been focusing on God, seeking after Him … learning who God really is. We continue to find comfort, peace and confidence in Him.

At the end of last year, we were led to seek the Men of Peace in Preah Vihear Province, the heart area and concentration of Kuy people in Cambodia. We were led to Tumpieng Tum where we went out 2-by-2. The Lord revealed Himself and pursuant to that, many believed in Christ. Subsequently, with tremendous persecution, 6 were baptized just before Christmas. We have made a video of our journey there to witness the amazing work the Lord has done:

Please continue to pray for the young church and the Xroads press on to nurture them.

Many blessings,

David.
