What helps you endure when you have asked God for the same thing for four years? Today it is the awareness that God has not forgotten a prayer for laborers and open doors for the Gospel we prayed once four years ago at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Cambodia.
This story from Chamroeun, a leader of Sonoko our sister movement in Cambodia, is an answer to that prayer.
We continue to try and gather students at the Royal University of Fine Arts. It is a very spiritually dark place as many students call on spirits to help them be creative in the arts they study.
We decided to arrange a meeting and asked the couple Christian students we’ve met to invite their friends. The day of the meeting some unexpected things happened. The place we had arranged to meet had a fire a few days earlier and the room was no longer usable. As soon as we sat down at our new location we noticed a very loud noise. It seemed that the place next door was having a funeral and the chanting was so loud it would be impossible for us to talk. We were discouraged but felt like God was asking us to stay.
The students finally arrived and we were so glad to see not 2 but 5 students! The 2 Christian students brought 2 other believers and 1 other friend who was interested in learning about Jesus. Not only that, but just as the students arrived the chanting from the funeral ended! We were free to talk with one another without any distraction. I can say and even declared that the Lord our God is alive, He was there before us and with us. He stopped the loud voice and prepared a small room for enough students to come.
What a joy to have played a small part in the story God is writing in Cambodia!
