[0:00] I'm sure all the brothers and sisters sitting here today will have plenty of feelings towards love. Perhaps our first reaction would be to think of relationships.
[0:19] Because looking at all of us around, we're at that age. Some are already in relationships. Some are preparing to enter into a relationship.
[0:39] This is a mutual affection between people of two different genders, and it's a beautiful thing. In English, it's called love. The Greek equivalent is Eros.
[0:51] However, unfortunately, we are not talking about this kind of love today. Perhaps when we think of love, it may be the love between good friends.
[1:08] Because if your good friends love you, and you love your good friends, you must be a very lucky person, right?
[1:26] This kind of love was turned by the Greeks as Philadelphia. But unfortunately, once again today, we are not talking about this type of love. Today, we are talking about God's love.
[1:40] This is a holy love. This is a love that is for others. So much so that we are willing to sacrifice ourselves.
[1:55] This kind of love is called agape. We'll see you again in the next chapter. So let us once again read John 3.16.
[2:05] For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
[2:23] So please raise your hand if you can memorize this verse. Oh,至少有很多很多人会背.但是我们有没有深入地想过,你对神的爱,祂的长阔高深有多少?
[2:38] 你的答案可能都不一样.所以我今天带着大家把那个镜头转向去年,九月份,我到柬埔寨去转宣的时候,看到的一组故事,通过这个故事跟你们去分享神的那种长阔高深的爱.
[3:06] So now I'd like to take the opportunity to turn your attention to the mission trip to Cambodia that I went on last year, and share a few stories and anecdotes with you, demonstrating the greatness of God's love.
[3:18] 让我们去打发。 Let us pray together. 神的天父救助耶稣基督,我们真的是不敢相信,你就这样破碎了自己来爱我们这群不配的人。主啊,我们今天来到这个地方,若不是你的爱,我们什么也没有。但是你的爱充满我们的时候,我们就知道何为爱,何为新生命,何为福分。愿这个爱今天浇灌在这个地方,让我们透过你的爱,去满满地把这个祝福带给所有没有听到的人,奉耶稣基督的生命去。Amen.
[3:55] 好,我们先有两组故事。第一组故事,我们从神的爱的宽度上是无穷无尽的。 Well, there are two groups of stories.
[4:08] The first group of stories tell us that God's love is limitless and very abundant. 这个宽度,我这是形容啊,其实神的爱是没有办法形容的。 我这次做一个象征的说,从那个四个完全不同背景的儿童群体来看,神的爱是无条件无阻拦地送到每一个儿童的生命当中。 And by the word abundant, I do mean it is actually limitless.
[4:33] And from four different groups of young people, we can see the way that God's love has been unconditional and unstoppable brought into the life of each child. 那么为什么要从儿童开始分享呢?
[4:44] So why am I comparing different groups of children? 因为柬埔寨这个国家和其他国家是完全不一样的。 Because Cambodia as a country is very different to most other countries.
[4:56] 有谁去过柬埔寨吗? Who's been to Cambodia? Oh, John,了不起啊。 我知道江去过缅甸,他竟然也去过柬埔寨,真是厉害。 柬埔寨这个国家为什么不一样?
[5:14] 因为1975年到1978年,可能在座都没有出生。 这个三年之间,他们这个国家有大屠杀。 这个大屠杀总共死了多少人?
[5:25] 300万。 当时他的国家人口多少呢?
[5:42] 600多万。 那死了多少人呢? So then, simple arithmetic, what proportion of people were killed?
[5:53] 差不多一半的成年人。 That was about half people. 而且都是城市的人口。 Half people, they were usually adults, and they were usually from the urban areas.
[6:04] 这个地方是非常好。 好,我们来看,先看这个一个背景照片。 你看我在这个地方,后面那个塔,看到就很漂亮,是吗?
[6:19] So let us look at the pictures that I've brought. You can see the tower in the background, it's quite a nice looking tower. 但是再望近看看。 But if you look closely, 上面有些白的反光,现在还看不清楚,我们再望近看看,看到没有?
[6:35] But if you look closely through the windows, what do you see? 再望近看一下。 What do you see? 这是什么? What are these?
[6:47] 这是人头骨。 而且他们的头骨呢,有的已经过那个敌人测试以后做上一个mark。 有的没有。 There are thousands of human skulls here, and not only that, many of them have been branded and marked by their enemies.
[7:05] 所以,这个头骨,现在就那个刚才看见很漂亮的塔,塔不是一个其他的建筑物,是大屠杀纪念馆。 So the beautiful tower that we saw before was none other than a memorial building for the Khmer Rouge.
[7:22] 所以他的人口呢是一个中间大两头间的比例,中间小两头大的比例。 他中间那个人差不多,像我这样的年龄的人,很多都已经死掉了。 那么上面是老人,下面是儿童,他的国家的人口比例就这样子。 And hence, the population of Cambodia is very skewed, in that on both the extremes of younger people and older people, it is relatively normal.
[7:47] But the middle-aged adult population is significantly smaller because of this massacre. 那么全世界的宣教师呢,在那个地方做宣教工作,做老人是很难做的,所以都把那个焦点放在儿童身上。 And hence, as a point of strategy, all the missionaries that go to Cambodia, because, you know, it's a lot less effective working on an older population, they all go for the younger population.
[8:13] 就像你们的年龄甚至比你们还要小的。 For example, people our age or younger. 因为根据宣教历史上,最好的记录,一个娃娃就是说进入宣教师办的学校里面,他后来可以带一个整的家族二百人性子。 Because, starting from children, as records and history is shown, many of these students are able to grow up and grow large churches of over 200 people.
[8:38] 所以下面我们就看这个不同的宣教师选择不同的儿童群体。 我们来看第一个,这个是一个叫进兴会的幼稚园,这个已经蒙受主恩的幼稚园。 And hence, we see many missionary groups help these children develop them into becoming church leaders.
[8:57] For example, the Rossi Keo Baptist Church group. 为什么说蒙受主恩的幼稚园呢? 因为他们的这个教会已经有非常的实力和基础,所以呢,对他们有很大的关怀。 而且他招生的对象呢,都是信主的家庭。 然后他们也可以公开地教导圣经。 孩子们在这个地方呢,学圣经,唱圣诗,可以非常自由,非常快乐。 孩子们会唱很多很多的赞美诗。 你们被看我这个跳得很难看,但是孩子们很高兴。 但是孩子们很高兴,是不是?
[9:58] 那个白头发的就是他们的牧师。 中间一个位老人家就是他们的牧师。 这是我们的短学队员,都是BCV的。 现在叫MST。 你看他们高兴吗?你看他们笑得多高兴。 你看他们笑得多高兴。 你说 the kids, they are all quite joyful, relatively。 所以说这一群儿童是最猛福的。 And hence, these children are really quite blessed.
[10:32] 好,我们再看第二组。 第二组儿童这个叫Happy Tree。 而不是Happy Tree,这叫喜乐幼儿园。 Now let us look at the second group of children, they are from Joy Kindergarten.
[10:45] 这个喜乐幼儿园是很特别的。 Joy Kindergarten is quite special, quite unique. 因为这里面,你们看这一位,这位宣教士,她是一个单身的香港女宣教士,叫陈丽娟。 因为这里面,你们看这一位,这位宣教士,她是一个单身的香港女宣教士,叫陈丽娟。 她是一位让我非常非常感动的宣教士。 她是一位让我非常非常感动的宣教士。 她到了柬埔寨以后,她骑着单车,骑着自行车在柬埔寨。 她的自行车在柬埔寨整整骑了五个月,在考察做什么事工比较好。 她在最后五个月以后,她选择做幼儿园的事工。 原因呢,我刚才已经讲过了。 因为她在香港呢,有这方面的教育背景和工作经验。 因为她在香港呢,有这方面的教育背景和工作经验。 因为她已经有一个学生在香港,在香港,她是有这个教育支持的。 她这个幼儿园是有这个教育支持办的。 她这个幼儿园是由这个教育支持办的。 这个幼儿园从开始的时候,她从三十个人开始做起的。 她总共现在做下来,做到现在有三百多人。 她们的教育质量非常非常高。 她所谓一种精英式的学校。 她是其实看起来是一个很高的社会。 哦,我这里插一下,因为没有这个书面上的。 据说柬埔寨呢,她是公立学校是不收费的。 但是呢,她因为这个国家非常腐败,所以说她要收很多的其他的费用。 学费没有,但其他的费用很多。 而且她的老师因为工资非常低,工内学校老师。 如果说学校里给的低呢,她就要跟学生做生意。 学生要买她很多东西,她才给你教课。 那么,就是说家长付给学校的整个费用表面上是不收费。
[13:41] Hence, although in principle, parents should not have to pay any school fees because the public schooling system should be free, parents in general pay about $300 a month to teachers in miscellaneous fees for an education.
[13:59] So, how much is the most expensive? The most expensive one is $1,500 a month. And with respect to private schools, private schools, the most expensive ones cost about $1,500 a month.
[14:11] So, the average wage of an average Cambodian worker is about $100 a month. You know, the average education expense with children's income is a big difference.
[14:26] And hence, you can see the disparity between income per average worker compared to the cost of education in Cambodia. But in comparison to this current school, Joy Church, Joy Kinnigatun, all the fees are very transparent and very open and nothing is taken under the table.
[14:56] It's a very fair system. It's usually a little bit higher than the public schooling system. It's usually a little bit higher than the public schooling system. But well below what a private school would cost.
[15:08] So, you know, many families are trying or wish to send their kids to this institution. So, they say, this school is more difficult than the public schooling system than the public schooling system.
[15:24] And hence, a word on the street is to enroll your children into this school, it's actually harder than getting your kids into Melbourne University. Why is that? Because they're not only for money to spend money.
[15:36] They're not for money to spend money. They're not for money to spend money. For example, if they have 300 capacity, they're not for one. How much money they're going to spend money? Why is that? It's because they only have enough facilities and rooms available for about 300 children.
[15:50] And hence, no matter how much you want to pay them, they are unable to fit children. And hence, they won't take your enrollment. And their main targets are Chinese families and mostly those who do not yet believe in God.
[16:06] You know, we're Chinese families are always talking about practicality, right? It's not for money to spend money. If you're good at school, you're good at school. If you're good at school, you're good at school. If you're good at school, you're good at school. If you're good at school, you're good at school. I mean, because Chinese families are often very pragmatic.
[16:18] They like schools whose fees are reasonable, transparent, and have a high quality of education. So, when you're good at school, you're good at school. It's not for the school of教会 to pay them. It's because this school is a good at school. And hence, a lot of the times when Chinese parents send their kids here, it's not because the kindergarten belongs to a church, but rather because of the quality of the education.
[16:37] In the beginning, a lot of parents even against the idea of the children saying grace before the meals. But later, the parents slowly begin to change their minds as the children grow and develop and become loving and willing to sacrifice and a much quality of moral attitude.
[17:09] The Lord is very amazing. The children are changing, and the parents are slowly changing. And the school uses the Christmas Eve and the Christmas Eve to perform a large wedding event.
[17:21] And God is very wonderful as He is able to change the perceptions from these parents through their children. And there is a lot of outreach activities every Christmas and Easter to get the parents involved.
[17:33] The children are playing, and the parents are very happy. So, the parents are looking for the children to watch the Christmas Eve and the Christmas Eve. I mean, whenever the kids are performing, the parents are always very proud. And hence, when they come to these events, the gospel is slowly spread.
[17:46] So, now onto the third story, in the middle, we see the principal surrounding the pot.
[17:59] So, now onto the third story, in the middle, we see the principal surrounding the pot. This is the second story, the principal surrounding the pot.
[18:10] 好,这个叫Happy Tree,这个是第三个故事,这个,我说它是有福的一个孤儿院。 为什么说它是有福的?
[18:28] 因为这是一个非常特殊的群体,它是悲剧中间的幸运儿。 为什么?因为这是一个艾滋病孤儿院。 而且这些HIV正是在发病期间的。 为什么这样说?因为这个国家的道德伦理是非常低下。 他们的性关系很混乱,很放荡。 你们知道孤儿院就是没有父母的,他们的父母哪里去了呢?
[19:28] 身家他们以后逃掉了。 他们的父母不是死了,是逃掉了。 所以他们是有父有母,变成了没父没母。 感谢主,我今天讲的就是上帝的爱,上帝不会丢下他们。 天上的父亲不会丢下他们。 所以上帝感动他的儿女,建立了这个开心树的孤儿院,收养了95名孩童。 你看那个名单就在上面。 这个95名儿童每个月要花费100美元的生活费。 这个费用包括治疗,教育,生活照顾。 到现在为止没有一个死亡的。 你们看看这些孩子是不是很可爱,也很无辜。 他们下一步怎么办?
[20:48] 他们养到18岁以后,如果他的病情稳定,就把他们送回到社会当中去。 因为他们是HIV-positive, once they turn 18, if their circumstances are quite stable, they are allowed to re-enter into society。 你看他们去吃饭的时候很整齐地排队。 他们在去吃饭的时候很整齐地排队。 亲爱的弟兄姐妹,我们比,教了刚才两组儿童的群体,他们看上去是悲剧的命运。 但是在上帝的大爱之中,他们得到了亲生父母都不能给的大爱。 但是在上帝的大爱之中,他们得到了亲生父母都不能给的大爱。 但在上帝的弱爱之中,他们成为上帝的孩子。 所以他们不再是孤儿。 然后我们再看下一种,这是一个农村的蒙恩孩子,一群。 因为我们柬埔寨是个农业国家。 我们刚才介绍的三组都是城市里面的。 那么这个城市里面呢,都是城市儿童。 它的农业是占了很大的比例,而且农村里面是非常贫穷,交通不便。 但是上帝的爱照样送到农村里面。 我们在我们去之前,宣教是从农村的孩子的英语。 每次要开车开三个多小时,那种泥泞的道路上,开到那个村里面叫英语。 然后我们在我们去之前,宣教是从叫农村的孩子的英语。 每次要开车开三个多小时,那种泥泞的道路上,开到那个村里面叫英语。 先教英语,慢慢再传福音。 宣教是从这些国家的社区里面教英语, 先教英语,慢慢再传福音。 感谢主,我们去了正好赶上这个收割的季节, 因为前面宣教是已经做了两年半的工作了。 因为前面宣教是已经做了两年半的工作了。 这些语言后,这些语言后变成了教习的道路。 祝福音乐,我们去那天我们呼召的时候, 竟然有十六位孩子决志信主。 你们看到了。 这位宣教士叫Catty,她就是驻地的宣教士。 这位宣教士叫Catty,她就是驻地的宣教士。 而且奇妙的是,我们那天准备的礼物是十六份。 我们也没想到,我们总共就带了十六份。 更多的感想是,我们那天准备的礼物是十六份。 上帝预备的人数正好是十六位。 不多也不少,阿们。 不多也不少,阿们。 多一只,或少一只,阿们。 好,我们讲完了这个四处孩子。 所以我讲那个宽度是讲不完的, 那长度也是讲不完的。 讲不完的。 讲不完以后,刚才讲了,他们的人口是怎么样?
[24:25] 是中间小,两头大,对不对? 那么下面是孩子,上面是老人。 他们的老人,特别是农村的老人,都是濒临死亡的年龄。 所以上帝的大爱照样送到那些即将离开人世的老人家。 这中间的一位老太太,叫这个是琳达,是一位我们服侍的一个大学生的一个奶奶。 琳达是我们服侍的一个大学生群体。 琳达是我们服侍的一个大学生群体。 因为宣教士在那里服侍的一个雅比斯事工的一个大学生群体。 然后呢,她是同工,但是她是非常困难的一个家庭出生的。 她在经边上学,她的父母呢,做生意赔了本,已经没有钱了。所以到泰国去打工,来还债。 。 那么家里面剩下这个老祖母呢,在农村,那个房子,你们看到那个墙上吗?那个墙是,就是那个草做成的墙。 你们说挡得了风还是挡得了雨啊,什么也挡不了。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 你们说过多钱呢,也是这个宣教士借给她的。 。 。 。 但是上帝就在把这个爱送进这个贫穷贫苦的家庭里。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。
[27:03] And from continual prayer and preaching the gospel, grandmother finally gave her life to Christ.
[27:23] This is one of the only fruits of the labor towards this older generation that we saw. This is a very difficult ministry. In a country like Cambodia, the main religion is Buddhism, which is 97% prevalent.
[27:49] And I mean, through so many generations of Buddhist upbringing, it's very hard for them to then convert to something else. Ben and John nego UK.
[28:01] It is a requirement of Stockholm whole. Tapi Hosking is different. Some of us have been on mission trips to Myanmar, which is a closed-off country who are very against missionaries and people spreading the gospel.
[28:17] However, Cambodia is a lot more open to missionaries and missionary work. But he doesn't care about you to宣教, because he knows that you want to change a young people, the Christian people is more difficult than the day.
[28:42] But what cannot be done by man is able to be done by God. Well, the second story is about God's immaculate love.
[29:03] This is another picture of Linda and her grandmother. Well, the second story is about God's immaculate love.
[29:16] And the first story of the second group of stories is that God loves even the disabled and or handicapped. Dear brothers and sisters, how many times do you recall the Gospels depicting how Christ healed people with disabilities, with illness?
[29:35] Please tell me one, two, three, two. Is it just one or two? Is it just one or two? Is it just one or two? Is it just one or two? Is it just one or two? Christ himself healed people with deformities.
[29:49] 太安静了. There are many, is it? And he did it on many occasions. There are many occasions. He healed the blind so that they could see. He healed the blind so that they could see.
[30:01] And the paralyzed could walk. And the troubled hand was healed as well. Because Christ has mercy on people with these kind of conditions.
[30:14] But two thousand years later, are there more or less people with disabilities?
[30:24] Today's the blind so that they could see. Today's the blind so that they could see. It is a blind so that they could see. It is a blind so that they could see. I mean, two thousand years later, people with disabilities are still discriminated against by the world. And in fact, they are probably the most discriminated against.
[30:39] And in fact, they are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very. I mean, although the issue isn't too obvious in Australia where some measures are taken, however, in developing countries, this issue is very apparent, and these people are very vulnerable in society.
[31:00] This young man in the photo here is called Vansal. Vansal, he is a Yabbi-se,大学生,施工的一个服侍对象.
[31:12] And he is sponsored by the Jabez ministry, just like previously. His father is a Buddhist leader, just like the主任牧师. However, his father is a Buddhist leader, much like our vicar or our leaders here.
[31:27] And had a lot of influence in the country. So he is a幹部's brother, also a官大儿. And hence, he is kind of the heir to a man of great influence.
[31:40] However, because of his disability, he is still unable to get the same opportunities a normal person would. However, praise God for God's love still reigns on him, just as it does on everyone else.
[32:01] for the issue of someone else. His chief and priest would help ocurrate him. For the missionaries have helped him attend university. And have granted him free accommodation to live at the Jabez ministry.
[32:14] For the missionaries have helped him attend university. And have sent him free accommodation to live at the Jabez ministry. And have brought him to come to know God. He is now a third-year student in electrical engineering.
[32:34] His wife is now filled with the self-confidence granted to him from God. In taking a photo with him, he actually told us never to stoop down, because he wanted everyone to see how tall he was in comparison, standing up.
[32:57] Because he knows that Christ does not discriminate against him ever, and he does not really mind what anybody else thinks.
[33:11] This is when he sent us off for departure at the airport. Look, that's the last photo we took before leaving Cambodia.
[33:29] Thank you. The second story is that God has mercy on people possessed by evil spirits.
[33:42] Brothers and sisters, do you remember in the gospel, the story of the miracle, where Christ drove out a legion of demons from a man?
[33:57] That's how many people went to the sea? And the legion, this group of demons, escaped into a group of pigs.
[34:08] You never know how many there were, I don't remember. We are... We are... We are... We are... But now, we will witness to a young man who was possessed by evil spirits.
[34:21] You can see this young man who was possessed by evil spirits. If we look at this youth, his name is Kim Sang. He is also a student of the Jabez Ministry.
[34:34] But he is also a student of the Jabez Ministry. But because he was possessed by a demon, he was in pursuit of a lot of bad things. And he was in fact unable to even control himself.
[34:49] He was rather bipolar. He was afraid of demons. He was afraid of death, disease. So he... miaее... Schul shirt, the man, he was a badman.
[35:01] It was so very bad. And this condition impacted him, and he was unable to live normally or study. And no matter how much work the missionary has tried to work on him, he was unwilling to accept it.
[35:17] You saw his robe. He was so young and it was 집에 to be sick of her sister. And in fact, despite his young age, he had a whole host of diseases.
[35:27] He was subject to a lot of diseases, and that's why his tongue was in this condition. His face is black. Even though he is black, he is more black. And although you may say a lot of Cambodians are a darker shade, he was an unnaturally dark shade, even for a Cambodian.
[35:43] Thank you for that. For this time, he is because of his fear, because of God's grace, and he wants to accept our prayer, and to accept our healing. But praise be to God, during the time that we were there, because of all his fears and unsureties he had in his heart, he was willing to come and accept God with us.
[36:02] And God's work began. And the Holy Spirit slowly entered into his body.
[36:13] You can see, through the prayer, and just by many people, he slowly began to let go of his previous fears.
[36:26] That day, we saw that day, after continually praying for him, that he was finally healed from a lot of his previous conditions.
[36:40] You can see, he was finally healed from a lot of his previous conditions. And at the end of all the prayer, he finally began to smile.儘管这个笑,还是不是很自信,但是这次我们去了两个星期,第一次看到他笑.
[36:53] And I mean, although this smile doesn't display complete confidence in God as yet, this was the first time in the two weeks that we had known him, that he had smiled. This is a new life of God's great power.
[37:03] And I believe this is the start of a new life for him. This is another testimony of God's great power. And the third story now we're going to look at is in the slums.
[37:20] You know, in the third story now we're going to look at is in the slums. In fact, we saw a lot of slums too in Myanmar. You can see this slums where all the people who didn't have a place to live were all hoarded and concentrated and kept there.
[37:41] We can see the sign here, Hope School was a school opened by Koreans. The slums were located in an area so desolate that you had to wade through a river of really stinking and polluted water in order to reach there.
[38:09] And hence, usually people avoided this area, and in fact this was a completely forgotten slum by the general population. But Jesus' love will not forget his people in the slum.
[38:23] So Hope will not forget his people in the slum. And hence, Hope School entered into this community. You can see this is Hope School's the name. And hence we can see a poster of Hope School there.
[38:34] I mean, Koreans are really, they are much better than, for example, the Chinese at sending the missionaries out.
[38:55] And they've been very successful. So I mean, in the nation of China, only 2,000 missionaries are outside of China compared to a population of 13 billion. In Korea, there are only 2,000 million people.
[39:06] And 3 billion? But in Korea, there are only 2,000 million people. South Korea has a population of 50 million? Almost. And how many? 2,000.
[39:16] And they have 20,000. 20,000 missionaries. This is the school that was run and developed by missionaries.
[39:32] Yes. Just this, the people in the school that were in the slum. There are only 2 schools within this slum ghetto region. And they were both created by missionaries. This is the people in this slum.
[39:44] And these are children who attend these schools from the slums. You say, they are in the children who attend these schools from the slums. Do you think the child here is laughing or crying? Do you think the child here is laughing or crying?
[39:54] It's kind of doing a bit of faith, because I think it was just so emotionally touched. This is the chapel for the school. This is the chapel for the school.
[40:07] All these houses were built by wood and bamboo. This is the church's house. This is the front yard, front door of the school.
[40:17] This school and Hope School previously are the only 2 schools in this ghetto. So. Well. The fourth story is about God's great love, and it is a love that covers the whole family of His servants.
[40:41] This one's the first Christian in this village.
[41:11] He is also the first preacher. He is also the first preacher. It is very difficult for Him. It is very difficult for Him. Because the whole village has very different beliefs and values to Him.
[41:25] Because the whole village has very different beliefs and values to Him. His parents, His parents, His parents, and His parents are still living. Especially from His parents and extended family. And they are all against Him.
[41:37] But He cannot let go. Of His religion. His faith. Because Channy is not a Christian.
[41:47] So He is very painful. He loves His brother. He loves his family. And because of this, Channy in the middle here is very torn. Because she both loves her brother who is a Christian. And she loves her parents who are not.
[41:58] He is torn because she thinks that her brother being going against the family is wrong.
[42:10] But at the same time, she realizes what her brother is preaching is correct. So we are always looking for a smile. And hence, we never really saw a smile on Channy's face.
[42:22] We are never really saw a smile on Channy's face. The first house that we visited when we arrived at the village was Channy's house. You can see the old lady in the middle.
[42:42] I believe that's Channy's great grandmother. Grandmother's mother. Great grandmother. That's right. He's 90 years old. We hope that through missions groups and our spreading the gospel, that Christianity will reach families like these.
[43:05] You know, what is the biggest blessing? What is the blessing of God? What is the blessing of God? What is the blessing of God? Right? I mean, with God's grace, if one person is saved, the whole family can be saved.
[43:18] So when Channy's pain is in pain, the people are in the middle. And hence, despite Channy's tensions and difficulties, when the missionary group came, an abundance of love was brought towards them.
[43:38] Very amazing. In the ninth day, we were in a Christmas Eve of the night. Channy's a blessing. And on the ninth day that they were there, while we were hosting, a gospel night, Channy gave her life to Christ.
[43:50] You can see, now Channy's how happy. And now we can see the joy that is apparent in her life. She has no longer been to the joy that is apparent in her life. And she has no longer caught between tensions between her brother and the rest of her family.
[44:06] And now we have shared these nine stories.
[44:18] I'd like you to think so. We'd like you to think about how God is able to spread His love and what channels He uses to reach people.
[44:32] We know that God's love is vast and abundant. These are just adjectives. But nevertheless, it is through His disciples, His children, that the gospel is actually spread physically.
[44:50] We've seen the two preachers. The other lady we saw was Katie, and this gentleman here is called Jensen.
[45:04] We were only there for two weeks. They've already been in Cambodia for seven years, these missionaries. They've given up very rich and wealthy lifestyles in Canada and Hong Kong.
[45:23] They've given up very rich and wealthy lifestyles in Canada and Hong Kong. And they've given their lives to God so that they can spread the gospel to people who are poverty-stricken, such as in Cambodia.
[45:35] So this is from the Christian, the Christian, the Christian, the Christian, the Christian, and the Christian. If you're the examples of people who are, sorry, the Christian ministry that has grown from 12 disciples to over 2 billion people today.
[45:53] We're not just a宣教, we're just a宣教, we're just a宣教, we're just a宣教. Compared to them, their actual mission work, we are just nearly scratching the surface. But we're willing to become a God-to-be-bride, to spread His gospel.
[46:07] However, all of us should wish to become an instrument to serve God and spread His gospel. I'm sure that every one of you here is willing to become an instrument for God.
[46:24] You're willing? You don't necessarily have to go to Cambodia. You don't necessarily have to go to Cambodia. Or to Myanmar.
[46:34] Because everyone you need to preach to is already around you. So you should from your身边的人, from your family, to your friends and family around you.
[46:47] Let us join in prayer. Dear Lord, thank you for just letting us see your great love through some of the small examples that we've provided today.
[47:09] Actually, your love is no way to express your love. In fact, your love is immeasurable through mere words. We can only experience it through our lives.
[47:22] We can only experience it through our lives. And we are willing for our lives to become a channel for your gospel. So that your love is spread to those who do not yet understand your love.
[47:35] In Christ's most precious name. Amen. Thank you. Thank you.
