KimLean writes about how he is journeying alongside a group of Khmer men and sharing about the Prince of Peace.
"Every week I meet together with a group of seven Khmer men. We share rice and life together - the happy, the sad and the hard. Of this group, some are followers of our God of Peace and are continuing to mature and deepen in their faith. One of the men is a follower too, but still young in his faith and trying to work out his own faith and not the faith of other people.
The others are on a journey towards Jesus and have many questions. They are seeking to understand their own identity, their goals, whether there is a God, and if there is… what does that mean for them as Khmer people?
Each week we come together to build our relationship, eat together, share life stories, pray and be active. We read God’s Word and discuss how we understand it, and what it means for our daily lives and relationships.
Each of these men has stories of hurt and broken trust. When we come together, we take time to talk, laugh, cry, sing, open our hearts, share our life experiences, our emotions, and to seek one other’s encouragement and wisdom.
As people, we need one another. We need safe communities where we can be vulnerable. We are a creation of the Maker’s hands. We need to be seeking Him, and to be learning and growing together so that we can thrive and share with our families and neighbours.
A guiding passage for Cate and me in our ministry is:
'So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.'
- Romans 12:1-2 (The Message)
Please pray for our group as we share together. Pray that we will continue to journey towards Jesus and to grow more deeply in relationship with Him."
