Mission Cambodia 2013

Dear Friends

How are you doing? I hope that God is doing as many wonderful things in your life as He is in mine. This is BY FAR the most EXCITING letter that I have ever written! I am having a wonderful time serving God, and feeling God's will to do more for the world around me.

 I want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to me. From June 30 through July 14 God has offered me the chance to go to Cambodia with a Group from Sun Valley Community Church. This 14-day mission trip will be reaching out and spreading gospel to the Cambodia people while also learning more about the people there and their culture. The church we are building is really blessed and they are used not only as churches on Sunday, but with this particular group they use them as early childhood education centers during the week, medical clinics, food distribution centers and community (village) meeting places.

While God has opened up a door for me to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people around the world, the exciting part is that you will be able to share in this compassion in several ways. First, you can help pray for me and my fellow travelers. We will need prayers that God will prepare us for our visit and bless our efforts as we minister to the people of Cambodia. We will also need prayers that our financial needs will be met. At this time I need to raise $2,700 to attend this trip, and that is quite a challenge!

 Another way you can be involved is to help provide financial support. Would you consider supporting me with a small donation? I will need to raise all my funds by June10 in order to pay for airline tickets and other items. Please make checks payable to Sun Valley Community Church attn. William Wheat. Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated.

I look forward to doing God's work in Cambodia and letting you know all about how God has worked through this team when I return in July.

God promises to rebuild and renew our relationships


Many people feel that they have to be in control of every situation. Unfortunately, this attitude doesn't go away when they get home. In fact, it's often intensified in an intimate relationship. Sometimes piety is used to control a spouse. The problem, of course, doesn't lie with God's laws but with our own sinful nature. God must be the one in charge - not us. God promises to rebuild and renew our relationships when we place him in charge of our lives. Allow God to be the one who is in control of your marriage. When you get this, both of you will be equal partners before him.

 Undoubtably you have heard about a husband who gives his wife a dozen roses or a wife fixes her husband a special candlelight dinner after doing something that he or she regrets. While gestures are signs of remorse for wrong actions, they don't get at the root of the problem. Giving a gift does not mean that our hearts have truly changed. Don't become like Pharisees and offer tokens of gestures that are meaningless. Give your spouse the gift that truly demonstrates your love: kindness, understanding, and, above all, mercy.

We live in a culture where we're told that our interest and desire should not be subject to anyone else - if we want something, we deserve to have it. A good marriage involves thinking first of someone other than yourself. Don't make your spouse a second - class citizen in your home. Treated him or her with the same love and respect that you want in return.

Those who let themselves be controlled by their lower natures live only to please themselves, but those who follow after the Holy Spirit find themselves doing those things that please God. Romans 8:5

It is time for judgment to begin.

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice in as much as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.1 Peter 4: 12-17

A marriage is also built on “progressive revelation.”


A word that is used frequently when people refer to a married couple is commitment. “They really seem like a very committed couple.” “Their commitment to each other was apparent after that he lost his job.” “Her illness really tested their commitment.”

While it’s true that commitment is an important part of a successful marriage, the most important ingredient is love. You can be committed to a job but not love it. You can be committed to paying your taxes but not feel any affection for your W2 form. The same is true for a married couple. Commitment will serve you during the best and worst of times. But love will transcend the mundane activities of your lives together and ensure that you will forsake all others for the one you vowed to cherish as long as you both shall live.

 

God's revelation to his people is progression. The deeper the relationship you have with your spouse and have with the Lord, the more he will reveal himself to you. In the verse 1 Corinthians, Paul shares God's promise that someday, when we go to heaven, God will show us his complete glory and we understand  everything perfectly that now seems confusing.

A marriage is also built on “progressive revelation.” One of the joys of married life is the chance to completely know another person. By sharing each other's hopes, fears, triumphs, in tragedies, the love and devotion a couple have for one another will grow and mature. Remember just as you don't have to completely understand the ways of God to serve him faithfully, you also don't have to figure out such mysteries as why your spouse put syrup on your cottage cheese to love him or her with all your heart.

 

Life is unpredictable. Each day we are confronted with decisions and events that causes anxiety and uncertainty. One of the great comforts of the Christian life is knowing we can rest in the assurance that God is in complete control. Just as Jesus said that our Heavenly Father is even concerned about the sparrow that falls from its nest, we are guaranteed that he cares about us infinitely more.

If you and your spouse are going through a time of hardship or indecision, turn your cares over to the Lord. If he can calm the winds of the sea, he is more than able and willing to meet your needs and reveal his will for your lives.
