Kuy Village of Tumpieng Tum

Last November 35 Cambodian believers from Crossroads Church along with missionary, David Ooi, made a four day trip to the village of Tumpieng Tum In Preah Vihear Province. They took time to make friends with the youth and share Christ with as many as would listen. The Lord enabled them to meet several persons of peace. Almost 20 people professed faith in Christ. In addition, they saw God move in another special way. Here is the story in David's words:

An old couple was seen sitting at a front porch. The wife told us that her husband was oppressed by a spirit since last year and thereafter, he could not walk, not even stand. We asked the husband, ‘Do you want to stand up again? Do you believe that Jesus can heal you?’ ‘Yes,’ he instantly replied. When we commanded him to stand up in the name of Jesus, he stood up!!! Just like in the Bible, he walked around his neighborhood displaying the glory of God.

At the same time, the team and those who wished to follow Christ experienced some persecution. While some of the leaders were interested in Jesus, others were opposed to the gospel. A report was made to the police. While the team had done no wrong, it still caused some of those interested to pull back.  They went back in December and baptized 6 believers.

David and his family are in the US on home assignment. But the Crossroads leaders continue to visit Tumpieng Tum monthly to encourage and teach the new church.
Please pray

• for the believers in Tumpieng Tum to grow strong in faith and boldly share with others,
• that the Lord would increase faith and hunger for the Gospel,
• for wisdom for the Crossroads team as they seek to disciple this new church and
• that God will deal with those bringing opposition to the Gospel.
