More Testimonies



Marian's testimony:

During this trip, I have made so many discoveries-both about myself, but mostly about how God can move mightily within and for people. I have mostly felt humbled. To serve is humbling. To know how poorly people live and to help improve their lives through delivering health care is humbling. I also love the unity of the team. To think we come from such diverse backgrounds, yet to move together as one for God's children is exhilarating for me. I am on the dental team and we have unified and become focused on our tasks. I assist the dentist and prepare and sanitize the instruments. If it weren't for this care,the patient would experience pain from injection or worse--die from bacterial injection that travels into the bloodstream throughout the body. It's amazing what a small group of people can do if we channel our collective skills and move together as me focus on a common desire to bring healing and health to the people of Cambodia.

More testimonies of other team members:

One of the team member, Ericia who already discerned something when asking a lady what to pray for her. She was carrying evil spirits with her that controlled her. So Ericia and Pastor Phyllis started to pray for her. She created a commotion within the outreached site that people started to see what was going on as she was not herself. The translator had a hard time translating. The lady started to hit everybody who was praying for her, so all the prayer team were praying for the lady, translator were holding her down, Helma hugged her, she felt that the spirit of the Lord wanted her to hug the lady while she was held down to let her feel the spirit of God's love. It took about 10 minutes before she calmed down. After about 2-3 minutes the spirit came back on her again, she started walk away then fell down. Helma took her inside the medical area and talked with her and shared the love of God. We heard that she was already around the site the day before and started to get possessed. She was finally calmed again and we pray the evil spirits will not possess her again.

The devil is trying to stop and disturbed the mission before we came to Cambodia, please join us to pray for the protection of the team members and to be ready with the joy of the Lord which is our strength for the coming week. It will also be the last week of the Medical Mission.

This past week the total number of people who received medical and dental treatment is around 953. Praise the Lord!
