God Provides....in His Way....

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Philipians 4:19

          Kee is in surgery in this picture.  In the operating room he is in, the hospital doesn't have a real surgical tool...real based on who? The neurosurgeons use a Home Depot hand tool in this hospital....and it works just fine. In this country as well as many third world countries, you make due with what you have, and it does get the job done. So maybe we are used to using the "different" drills, but this verse that God meets our needs according to His way is so true in many aspects being here in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. As you can imagine the world is very different here. Transportation, the language, the conveniences of the western world; however, God promises to meet all our needs. How does this compute? I think it means that we think we need much more than we really need. If God is our true source of security, we can trust that what He PROVIDES is exactly what we need at the time. Sometimes we go through a season of prosperity and sometimes a time of drought and suffering. Whichever time we are in, we can rest in the assurance that God will meet our needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. 

May I Pray? Lord thank you for this amazing opportunity to be of service in Cambodia. I pray for this hospital that you will be so present here that people will see you here. Bless all the doctors, nurses, patients, families, and may you continue to provide for them in your ways. I pray you will bless this hospital and the quick healing for your patients. Thank you for what you will do here. Also, I pray you will prompt more workers in any field whether it be medical, educational, business, beauty, etc...to come overseas and work alongside the people here so we can fellowship in the worldwide body of Christ.  In Jesus name, Amen.  

On a side note....there is much human trafficing(girls are sold into prostitution as young as 4) here in Phnom Penh. I have noticed that restaurants, nail salons, and beauty salons have a great business going employing many girls who were on the street or in a brothel. They are rescued and then put in employment in a business. If you have any business skills and are interested in starting something here, this is one way you can help with the whole trafficing scene here. We have gone to a few restaurants that are known to staff people who had no work or girls who have been trafficed, and people go to these restaurants just to support them. It is a really awesome way to support the people who have made their way out of abuse and/or neglect. There are many organizations, churches, and work to get plugged into here, and who would have known on Trip Advisor Phnom Penh is the number one voted place to visit. If you feel the Lord leading you to come overseas and serve....do it!!!! We are really loving it!!
