Memorial to Matt
Thank you for your prayers for our friends Matt and Susu Cinavou. Early Tuesday morning Matt passed away. We rejoice that he is at home with Jesus now. His wife, Susu, was beside him as she had been since the accident in the Cambodian countryside on Saturday. Matt was unable to have the proposed surgery on Monday morning to realign and fuse the bones in his neck. He went into cardiac arrest in the operating theater. He never did fully stabilize after that. His injuries were just too great.

We are deeply saddened at this loss. Matt was a godly man. He gave his all to the Lord and His work. He had a deep and abiding trust in God and a joyful spirit. He will be missed by many including his sending church, Christian Mission Fellowship in Fiji, the church in the Kuy village of Andas and the church and dorm they started here in Phnom Penh. They had begun taking students for evangelism into some of the unevangelized Kuy villages. In fact the accident occurred when they were on their way to a Kuy village.

Matt and Susu had been married just two years. They have no children. Please pray for Susu to know the presence, comfort and peace of God in the midst of the grieving process. Pray also for wisdom and the ability to hear the voice of God as she looks at what is ahead for her.

Pray that the work God is doing among the Kuy will continue to expand and produce much fruit because of this sacrifice. Ask the Lord of the Harvest to send out more laborers in Matt's place.
