The Mays’ Weblog

Hi, Andrew here at last.

For reasons that I shall explain in a minute I am at liberty to enjoy travelling down avenues of pleasure usually barred to me, like sitting for hours at the computer without feeling guilty, sitting drinking beer without washing up first and not talking to anyone all evening, not to mention going to bed whenever I like. Have I been raptured as part of an advance party I hear you ask…not exactly. Esther is away all week in another country to the south-east of here; Cambodia. She left on Monday and returns Friday.

She and some other ladies (I am not used to calling her a lady but there..I have done it now..) have gone to work with wives of military servicemen about 90 mins north of Phnom Penh. You can read about Cadence here and here, but in short they take the gospel to the police, government and military in various countries including Cambodia. There has been a wonderful response from the men but their wives have been slower to soften their hearts, having never had any specific opportunity to hear for themselves about our wonderful God and what he has done for them. Esther, Brownwen (Matt Coe’s wife), Jenny , Sandra (Paul Bradley’s wife) and Belle (Ron’s wife) have travelled, with Ron, who, with Paul works for Cadence, to the base for a week of sharing the gospel, giving testimonies, doing crafts and drama. Some of the ladies are working with the children and some of them with the women.
I am sure that there will be more to report on their return and I look forward to the stories they will bring back.

Please pray that they will know the anointing of God as they share about Jesus, and that, in spite of the language barrier, they will shine out his love to these ladies who have endured and suffered so much in this broken nation. What a wonderful thing to dream of a generation that follows that are free of the chains of the past and can know the freedom of Christ in their lives. Should we dare to dream these things? Of Course! What a mighty God we serve!

Andrew
