The Savior of Cambodia
It's now been a month since our
arrival to Phnom Penh, Cambodia,
and our reunion with Pastors Keat
and Sally Kove at Cambodia Mis-
sion Outreach. Josh and I have
settled into a schedule now.
In the mornings we each teach
an English class to the Cambodian
English teachers. These teachers
are young adults who have recently
graduated from Bible college, and
work full-time here at the ministry.
The seven of them teach English in
the New Hope English school, as
well as lead cell groups and disciple
new believers.
Josh and I are teaching them
English also teaching them how to
teach, so that they may improve
and have confidence in what they
are doing.
Josh and I are also teaching
English to the children. Josh alter-
nates between the grades one and
four on a weekly basis. I do the
same with the grades two and three
classes.
The kids really are beautiful,
funny and easy to love. I'd be lying
if I said the grade threes didn't test
my patience sometimes, but it is in
these situations that the fruit of
patience can be cultivated and
Enslaved to Love (josh)
The “saints” of Catholicism and
Orthodoxy continue to inspire
me like none other. Such dedica-
tion has been unparalleled, and
their lives scream of a terrible
bliss that only one utterly con-
sumed by Love can imagine. They
seem ‘extreme’ and ‘insane’ be-
cause they were. They were
insane for Love, and often are
our subject of ridicule because
we inwardly covet the relation-
ship they had with God, yet

exemplified, and for this I really
am grateful. Also, if we love only
those who make us happy, then
our love is not the real love that is
from God, who loves because He
is love, rather than because peo-
ple deserve it.
In the evening, Josh and I
each teach English in the New
Hope English school. Currently,
there are about two hundred stu-
dents attending and most of them
have chosen the free scholarship,
which means instead of paying a
monthly fee for the school, they
attend church services several
times a month. About 70% of
these students are unbelievers.
It is without a doubt, God's
longing for each of these students
to know Him. As we teach Eng-
lish, I see in our precious stu-
dents, people who God has en-
trusted to us; people whom God
has painfully purchased Himself
by the blood of His son. I have a
responsibility to these students
from God to let Him show His Son
through me.
Can you see the people in
your life whom God has entrusted
you with?
It is even when teaching Eng-
aren’t willing to pay the price
they paid to get it. We desire
their Gospel from afar, as if we
are looking at some material
possession we would love to
have, but as we get closer and
see how intricately beautiful it
really is, we also behold the price
tag. It is true that eternal salva-
tion is free gift of grace, but the
stature the “saints” enjoyed(?)
cost them everything they had.
They realized to have a Savior
lish that we don't want to just
prepare our lesson as if that is all
we have to offer, but we ask that
His very presence would accom-
pany us, knowing that He is avail-
able at any moment to invade
hearts and sweep out all sin.
It is with the Cambodia staff
here that we have become co-
workers for the gospel. We each
do our small part, working to-
gether to attain the vision of this
ministry, all the while, fixing our
eyes on Jesus, our only Savior. It
is the desire of our heart which
God delights in, to see the Cam-
bodians meet Jesus and grow into
mature Christians, passionate
about preaching and living out the
gospel, to their fellow people.
For we do not preach our-
selves but Christ Jesus as
Lord, and ourselves as your
bond-servants for Jesus’ sake.
For God, who said, “Light
shall shine out of darkness”,
is the One who has shone in
our hearts to give the light of
the knowledge of the glory of
God in the face of Christ.
meant assurance of salvation, but
they also realized to have a Lord
meant to be a servant. And such
as these were indeed, servants of
Love. They were enslaved to it.
That is why we still exalt their
lives hundreds of years after they
redeemed their inheritance.
Their recorded lives are given to
us by God for the sake of our
admiration and edification. Let us
learn, and serve Love.
