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

Week 8 VIDEO MESSAGE MEETING GUIDE MESSAGE OUTLINE

I will make you become: a disciple is being changed by Jesus Jesus wants to transform us so that we become the kind of people who genuinely love God and others from the core of our being. This change in our hearts goes way beyond what our willpower and good intentions can accomplish. But, it is also not something that God will do in us without our involvement. Each month we will provide video and print resources that look at a spiritual practice, experience, or relationship that can ground us in a lifestyle of openness to God and the work he is doing in us.

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.
