Let God be my planner!!!<br />
One Sunday morning at my church, while I was praying and asked God to<br />
bless my generous outreach team and our October-2006 outreach program we<br />
were planning to outreach to children living on the garbage dump, the Lord<br />
spoke to me something different <strong>from</strong> what I was praying for, He showed me<br />
the pictures of many students at Rongko School smiling at me. I was very<br />
surprised to see those pictures smiling at me. In my prayer, I kept asking God<br />
that “why these pictures appeared to me?" also, I told God that “I am praying<br />
for the children living on the garbage dump and the outreach program not the<br />
students at Rongko School.” I was very sure that time I heard the voice of the<br />
Lord speaking to me in my spirit. He said to me that “Those students are my<br />
Chap <strong>Sothea</strong> children. They need me like the children living on the garbage dump too.”<br />
After, I heard the voice of the Lord speaking to me and showed me the pictures of many students<br />
smiling at me, it took me 5 months in both praying and seeking God for His direction. Personally,<br />
when I looked at the pictures of our Generous Outreach Ministry to children living on the garbage<br />
dump in Phnom Penh, the city of Cambodia, and compared to a new picture of school and students<br />
that I saw in my prayer, I could tell that they are in two completely different situations in both life and<br />
living standards. I personally believed that when God called me, He always gives me the desire, faith<br />
and ability to fulfill His work. Especially, He is there for me in any tough situations I am in.<br />
Especially, the Lord surely directs me in His plan when I obey Him.<br />
From the month of January to March, my Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, really touched so<br />
many hearts of His people to give both finances and services to this <strong>Fun</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Games Outreach Concert<br />
Ministry at Rongko School in <strong>Banteay</strong> <strong>Meanchey</strong> Province.<br />
When the Lord speaks to us something, He clearly has his own plan and resources for us. We<br />
only obey and allow Him to guide us and use us in His plan and wait upon His right timing to come.<br />
When we lay our trust in God with all our hearts, He never forgets his promises for us in the book of<br />
Matthew 6:33 it says that “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will<br />
be given to you as well.” And Matthew 28:20 said “……. And surely I am with you always, to the<br />
very end of the age.”<br />
Praise and Worship<br />
Unbelievable …..Children put thousands of their smiles on my Heavenly Father’s face!!!<br />
My Lord Jesus Christ really loves children so much. The bible says that He put children in His arms,<br />
put His hands on them and blessed them. It was so amazed thousands of children danced and raised<br />
their hands to praise and worship the Lord Jesus Christ with their big smiles on their faces. If we take<br />
a minute of our time to imagine of God’s face, we surely can tell how much joy He has when He saw<br />
His children praise Him. Especially, they turn their heart to Him with a big joy.<br />

Sroun Sary’ testimony<br />
I am very thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for He has<br />
chosen me to bring His Love to students at Rongko School.<br />
I was very joyful to see thousand of students and village<br />
children come to the fun fair. I saw the grace of God for<br />
these children is so great. During <strong>Fun</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Outreach<br />
Ministry, God really gave me a heart of serving and made<br />
me so bold in leading worship. I was very touched when I<br />
saw many children danced with their happy faces and they<br />
lifted up their hands to worship my Lord Jesus Christ. And,<br />
children have received so much joy for God in their hearts.<br />
From this mission trip, I have received so much encouragement <strong>from</strong> the Lord in serving in the<br />
ministry. In my prayers, I hope God will continue to use my team to bring His Salvation to students<br />
and children at Rongko Village.<br />
Chhorn Somnang’s testimony<br />
I am so thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for He gave me a chance to serve<br />
in Outreach Ministry at Rongko Village. While, I was there, I felt that God<br />
gave me so much joy and peace in my heart. I realized that God has<br />
brought me into His plan. I felt very touch when I saw them worship the<br />
Lord Jesus Christ. Also, I saw many hands raised up in the air to receive<br />
God’s salvation. I was one of the dancers in dance group. Besides dance, I<br />
was chosen to be a pharmacist. Even though, I am not a nurse or doctor,<br />
but God used me to take care of my team. While we were there, some of us<br />
got headache, stomachache, fiver and body pain. I thank God for He gave<br />
me wisdom to give the right medicines to my team and He healed them. In the future I want to be a<br />
doctor. I believed that God will use me to bring hope to the patients. In my prayers, I believed that<br />
God will continue to use our team to bring His Love and Hope to students and Rongko Villagers.<br />
Let our dances tell the story of Jesus Christ!!!!<br />
Kim Sophal’s testimony<br />
I am very thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for He brought me and my sister to live in<br />
the orphanage and both of us can continue our study in school after our mom recently<br />
passed away. I slowly joined devotion and study bible with other orphans. I began to<br />
know who Jesus is to my life. He is my Heavenly Father. He gave me new Love and<br />
He holds my future. While I was attending youth service in my church, I heard team<br />
leader shared about Garbage Dump and <strong>Fun</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Outreach Ministry, I felt very touch<br />
by many testimonies. Then, I decided to join with the team. I was one of the dancers.<br />
During this mission trip, I found out that whenever we prayed and said the Lord’s Prayer, God’s<br />
miracles really took place through our prayers like He stopped the rain and turned the black sky to a<br />
bright sky. I thank God for those miracles. I believed that Jesus is alive. He hears our prayers. He is a<br />
true God and the Savior of my life!!!<br />

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)<br />
Jesus alone is the real Joy, Hope and Peace giver to His children in Rongko Village. He has given<br />
them so much joy during the <strong>Fun</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Games Outreach Concert Ministry. This is our first outreach to<br />
Rongko Villagers. Unforgettable……… the smile on those students, Village children and youth’s<br />
faces that came across our eyes those days. Every time when we saw those people smiled and enjoyed<br />
playing games with us, we always thank our Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts for He is the real joy giver<br />
to them.<br />
Drama<br />
Let our dramas tell the story of our Lord Jesus Christ!!!<br />
Isaiah 55:8 said “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.”<br />
The Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, has His own amazing way to bring back His children to Him.<br />
Praise the Lord for He has done excellent things and His Grace and Mercy are always with His<br />
children. The drama of “Jesus Christ is the owner of Heaven.” showed by a group of 8 teachers,<br />
God really used their simple drama that played <strong>from</strong> their own faith for Christ to tell their students<br />
about God’s salvation. It was the most effective drama. Through this drama, God’s love really took<br />
place in the hearts of many children and many of them gave their lives to Jesus. Praise the Lord!<br />
For many are invited. But few are chosen. (Matthew 22:14)<br />
During <strong>Fun</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Games Outreach Concert Ministry, God’s messages really spoke so much through<br />
dramas. Every drama our team played, they showed so much about God’s Love and His Salvation.<br />
Especially, Jesus Christ alone can give us an Eternal Life. We were so much thankful to the Lord Jesus<br />
for the dramas we played. Through those dramas we saw many hands raised up in the air to receive<br />
God’s salvation and gave their lives to Jesus. Praise the Lord for He is a wonderful planner!<br />

Phon Sitha’s Testimony<br />
I thank God for He gave me a wonderful gift of leading drama. I am very joyful<br />
when I saw children paid so much attention on our dramas that show a lot about<br />
the Love of Jesus Christ for His children. I believed every action in the drama that<br />
we showed children will remember about God’s love in their hearts. Because,<br />
Jesus alone can give them eternal life and set them free <strong>from</strong> their sins. In my<br />
prayer, I will ask God to continue to open door for our team to bring His Love to<br />
His children at Rongko Village.<br />
Rom Bunthorn’s Testimony<br />
I was very joyful to see many students, village children and youths opened their<br />
hearts to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I thank God for my team.<br />
They worked very hard for this <strong>Fun</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Games Outreach Concert Ministry to<br />
bring back the Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. During our mission trip to Rongko,<br />
I saw that God brought us in one unity and one heart even our teams came <strong>from</strong><br />
different churches, orphanages and school. Especially, while, we suddenly saw<br />
the bright sky turned black. Everybody came together behind the stage and<br />
prayed. We kept praying and praying, then, the Lord turned a black sky to a<br />
bright sky. God is so God. Surely, He hears our payers and He is with us always.<br />
Children Ministry<br />
Jesus loves the little children!<br />
Our team was so much thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ for He called many children through us. He loves<br />
those children very much. He opened door for our team to bring His good news to His children. Our team was<br />
so amazed at what the Lord has done, when we saw children were very open to worship the Lord and dance<br />
with us. Especially, during story time, they really paid so much attention on bible stories. The story of<br />
“Creation” was the most effective one. After the team told story of “Creation” to those children, they began to<br />
know that God is the creator and they are sinners. And Jesus alone can set them free <strong>from</strong> their sins. When the<br />
team asked those children that “Does anybody wants to be freed <strong>from</strong> sin?” then, most of them raised hand to<br />
receive God’s salvations.<br />
Rous Seanghou’s testimony<br />
“………….With men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all<br />
things are possible.” Mark 10:27<br />
I thank my Jesus for using me to minister to small children. This is my first<br />
wonderful experience to be a teacher to small children. First, when I saw many<br />
children in the classroom, I was very nervous. But when I think about the story of<br />
“Jesus blessed the little children” I felt that Jesus encouraged me a lot through this<br />
scripture. He helped me to feel relax. So, I can minister to them. I really had a<br />
good time playing with those children. I love them so much. In my prayer, I hope<br />
to be their teacher and see them again.<br />

Krouch Sophea’s testimony<br />
Jesus is my true friend!<br />
I became a Christian in early year 2006. I began to love the Lord and<br />
prayed in my quiet time. I gave thank to the Lord for saving me <strong>from</strong><br />
all the bad things I had gone through in my life like taking drug,<br />
drunk alcohol, became theft, disobedience to my parents and leaved<br />
home. Everyday, when I began to pray to God, I found out that Jesus<br />
is my true friend. Last year, in September-2006, I got a chance to join<br />
children camp with orphans and staffs <strong>from</strong> NHO organization to the<br />
beach. I was one of the volunteers in beach games program with a youth group <strong>from</strong> my church.<br />
During children camp, every morning, we had bible study with Ps. Kang <strong>from</strong> Church of Singapore<br />
Bukit Timah. He taught us on a lesson of “Heart of the Father” It reminded me a lot about my mom<br />
whom I never forgive because she lost all our family’s money which has been invested in the business.<br />
She made our family became very poor. Especially, I can not continue my study to university. That<br />
situation turned me to involve in many bad things I had gone through in my passed life. After Ps.<br />
Kang finished his teaching, he prayed for me. Through his prayer, God really touched my heart and<br />
took away my anger. I believed that God gave me new love for my mom. Especially, without Jesus I<br />
may not have a chance to forgive my mom or continue to live life with bad things I had gone through,<br />
or maybe today I am in jail, or I was killed by someone. But with Jesus, He gave me new life.<br />
Evangelism<br />
We could see God’s miracle took place in our ministries, unless we obey<br />
give our best service to Him. Especially, if, we want be a successor in<br />
the ministry, we must listen carefully to what God is about to tell us and<br />
directs us in His plan. No matter how hard we try, or any difficulties we<br />
are facing with, or any tough situations we are in, Jesus is there for us.<br />
Jesus is the owner of any results of any ministries we are serving Him.<br />
He is the planner and the finisher.<br />
Every time before evangelist team goes in the really mission field, we<br />
usually talked about many strategies how to outreach to unbelievers,<br />
Sroun Vanna<br />
how to give out booklets, especially, try to get to know the situations of the outreach place and people.<br />
When I look at the plans that my evangelist team had made to outreach to students (youths) at Rongko<br />
School, the Lord Jesus really taught our team a lot. He showed us that our plans were opposite form<br />
His plans. Especially, everything was completely changed on the last minute on fun fair outreach’s<br />
days. The real plan for Evangelist team is to focus on outreach to the youths. But during the concert<br />
we saw children came more than youths. To see what was happening during that event, I believe that<br />
God was teaching our evangelist team to be obedience, listen carefully and give our best service to<br />
Him. In my prayer, I hope to come back to Rongko School to do outreach to students (youths) again.<br />
The power of the Lord’s prayers<br />
The hold Generous Outreach Team kneeled down and said the<br />
Lord’s prayers together to give thank to the Lord for He kept our<br />
every program in His control. He is our wonderful protector. Also,<br />
He is a great planner. He helped us to open our eyes to focus on<br />
seeking His face. He guided us <strong>from</strong> one step to another. He kept<br />
building our trust in Him. He opened our ears to listen carefully to<br />
what he is about to tell us. Especially, He used every part of our<br />
bodies to testify that He is the real creator of the heaven and earth.<br />
Especially, the real Joy, Peach and Hope Giver, He called His children through us. They had accepted<br />
and turned their hearts to Jesus and made the Heavenly Father so joyful with a big happy face.<br />
