About nine years ago God placed a desire in my heart to learn about emotional healing. During this time God began to work in me and then gave me the desire to see other women set free of the chains that keep them in bondage. As I have been praying with teams of women, we have watched the Holy Spirit move in the lives of individual women to bind up the broken hearted, to set the captives free and to release prisoners from the darkness.
When Lisa, who leads teams to Cambodia each summer, indicated that she was looking for people equipped to do healing prayer ministry to be a part of this year’s team, I prayed about whether I should go because of my passion for others to experience emotional wholeness as I did. God has been speaking in amazing ways to affirm the fact that I should be part of this summer’s team. Although my husband was not enthusiastic for me to go at first, God worked in his heart and he gave me his blessing to go on Christmas Day. Then through the Bible Study Stepping Up, Beth Moore said, “God diffuses not only our past of all power to harm and haunt us but He infuses it with the power to help others. Redemption is incomplete if our negative past is only diffused. Satan won’t be completely sorry and God won’t get all the glory until the bad is used for good.” Since going to the Ratanak conference a couple of years ago, God gave me a desire to be one of His instruments to bring emotional healing to women and girls who have been traumatized through abuse of all kinds. God has also been increasing my burden for Cambodia as He gives me insight during my quiet times with Him. An insight that really stands out to me is in Leviticus 19:28, “Do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness.”
I am looking forward to all that God will do in Cambodia through the team that He is sending there.
The team members are as follows:
Rexdale Alliance: Lisa, Tara, Charlene, Nancy, Peter, Prem, Vidya, Marty
Runnymede United: Joy
Young Nak Presbyterian: Genie
First Alliance: Melinda
Grace Toronto Church: Stephanie
The purpose of the trip is to do some prayer walking, healing prayer ministry and to teach the girls some crafts or skills that they can use. We covet your prayers for us even before we go to Cambodia as we sense already that there is a battle going on.
The date of the trip is from July 14th to August 5th. Would you prayerfully consider if the Lord would have you support the team financially, including myself, as well as in prayer?
Thank you for partnering with us as we go to Cambodia.
Marty
