Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

November 20, 2009

Dear Prayer Partners and Friends,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRAYING! GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYERS AND ANSWERS!

Praises . . .

+ The Cambodian/Thai border has remained opened! Although there is still some tension, it now seems unlikely that the border will close (A lot of money would be lost, particularly by Thailand, if the border were closed. At least for the moment, money is talking . . . or you are praying!)

+ The Church Planting Meeting when well. Only four of the eight church planters were able to make it because of sickness and family issues, but we had two CMA missionaries join us, as well as the KEC church president. These three men made a great contribution to the meeting because each came with unique church planting experiences of their own. The next meeting is scheduled for March 2010.

+ Last month’s regional youth leaders’ meeting also went well and I had the privilege of teaching on hearing the Voice of God.

+ This past Tuesday the “Living Waters” class finished up. This course takes five weeks to go through the gospel and ends with asking each student if they have chosen to follow Jesus as their Savior and Lord. One teenager, Tee-Da, told the class she believes, but has not yet given her life to Christ . . . but she wants to! I had the great joy of leading her in a prayer of faith and the class surrounded her in prayer, too! Now all the students are believers in Jesus – most not even a year old in the faith! Keep praying for Tee-Da. We often see new believers face tremendous spiritual warfare after they choose Jesus.

Prayer Requests . . .

** The group of teenagers who studied “Living Waters” with me is anxious to continue to study God’s Word. So this Tuesday we will start the discipleship book – “Abundant Life.” Pray that God would continue to grow each one of these young believers and that their personal knowledge and love for God will increase!

** Saturday, Nov. 28th we will be celebrating yet another baptism! Some of those who prepared for the last baptism were not able to participate, so we planned to do a 2nd one around Thanksgiving. What better time to thank God for the salvation He freely gives! Pray for the participants (including Tee-Da and Baray, two of the “Living Waters” students) as well as the actual event. Pray that God would protect our time together and that there would be a spirit of praise and thanksgiving.

** The rains have stopped and the preparations are being made to break ground on the Poipet church building. The builder has been hesitant to start because of the Thai/Cambodia tensions, but we are anxious to get it going! The plans of the building have been finalized and it will be a nice sized building with a sanctuary to seat 300 and eight classrooms. Pray the details of construction come together and we are able to start soon!

** Pray also for the all-church Christmas celebration we are planning for December 24th. It will be a bit different from previous years since all eight church sites will be participating, it will be in the evening and at a different location. (We don’t yet have electricity at the Poipet church land site, so we can’t have our celebration there – maybe next year!)

Keep praying! God is at work and you are partners in it!

If you are looking for a special way to thank God for all He’s done in your life this year, consider giving a gift of thanksgiving to one of the following:

Great Commission Fund (indicating that it is for the support of Kandi Lay) – this goes toward support, housing, transportation costs.

Kandi Lay’s Work Special Fund – this goes toward the ministry expenses here in Poipet. Things like Bibles, Bible study materials, transportation costs for Cambodian workers, assistance for the poor in our churches and villages, etc.

Cambodia Church Planting Approved Special – This goes toward church planting expenses throughout Cambodia.

** You can give to any of these through your local Christian & Missionary Alliance Church – just indicate which fund you are contributing to & make the check out to the church.

** OR you can send a check made out to the “Christian & Missionary Alliance” (indicating which fund in the memo line) and send it to: The Christian & Missionary Alliance, P.O. Box 35000, Colorado Springs, CO 80935-3500

** OR you can give online at: www.cmalliance.org/give/worker Type in my name & indicate the fund or click on approved specials in order to give to the church planting approved special.

I can’t thank you enough for standing with me in prayer for the church in Cambodia!

Looking to Jesus,
Kandi
