KENYA PAUL MBUTE Tell me more about your mission? Through Compassion International, our Githunguchu Children’s Center aims to release our local children from their spiritual, physical, social, and economical poverty. At Compassion, we enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. What are some victories I can celebrate with you? Through our partnership with Compassion International and Cedarbrook Community Church, we have seen lasting transformation of our children through quality and affordable education, as well as the ability to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the community. We have also enjoyed hosting a team from Cedarbrook many times over the years and welcome you all back to Kenya again soon! What are some of the challenges you face? Our community has the challenge of a lack of basic needs and quality schools. Generational and widely-accepted poverty is a significant challenge to overcome here. How can I pray for you? Please pray that God enables us to service the entire community where our children’s center is located in Githunguchu. How can I support you? Cedarbrook members can continue to generously sponsor our needy children in Githunguchu (project KE324) through the Compassion International sponsorship program.

Week 8 VIDEO MESSAGE MEETING GUIDE MESSAGE OUTLINE

4e322ed7-2e34-45bd-802c-cc632a1f9535 Follow me: a disciple knows and follows Jesus When we look at the life of Jesus, it is very clear that his mind and his worldview were deeply formed by the Scriptures. As we read the Gospels, we see that he was literate, conversant, and passionate about the Word of God. And he calls his followers to be the same. A disciple of Jesus needs to understand and embrace the essential teachings of the Bible. Each month we will explore an essential doctrine of God’s Word through video and print resources. We hope that you will find these helpful in your discipleship journey. The Doctrine of Scripture BOOKS Scripture Alone by James R. White Scripture and the Authority of God by N. T. Wright ARTICLES The Authority of the Bible at bible.org 7 Key Elements of the Doctrine of Scripture by Matthew Boffey VIDEOS Defending the Bible by Sean McDowell 3 Minute Theology: How is the Bible Divinely Inspired?

CAMBODIA CHOMNO IN Tell me more about your mission? Our mission is to equip and empower the church to strengthen the quality of life of disadvantaged rural people and vulnerable children by cultivating hope for the future, where self-reliance among the communities is obtained through the support from CHO’s income generating projects. What are some victories I can celebrate with you? Being able to provide health training and relief packages for and seeing the blessings is a victory that we would like for you to celebrate with us. We also would like for you to celebrate the 12 people who offered their lives to God. What are some of the challenges you face? The Corona pandemic is one of the biggest challenges that we are facing now because we are not able to do our normal work. Keeping the church pastors, leaders and members motivated is very challenging. They not only struggle with meeting their physical needs, but emotional and spiritual as well. Another challenge is providing training to the community. Although we cannot meet in groups, we can do house visits - but it takes longer to reach everyone. And we must keep in mind the safety of the staff and the people they come in contact with at the same time. How can I pray for you? Please pray that we will continue to have funding to help support the poor people with some more covid relief packages. Please pray that our leaders and pastors continue to be encouraged and motivated. Please pray that we all stay healthy. Please pray that God provides us with wisdom on how to help and lead his people. How can I support you? We would love for Cedarbrook to continue to help support the health project because it is really needed, especially during times like these. If possible, we would like to have more teams from Cedarbrook church to come and help us here with our ministry in the community. We need skilled people to come and train our staff in areas of computers, English, pastor training, as well as doctors or nurses to come and work alongside our staff. Where can I learn more? You can go to our website at www.cambodianhopeorganization.org to learn more about us. but the website is not updated yet because we don't have anyone with the skills to help out with that. global missions
