Pure Joy

This post originally appeared in the May 2018 SEAPC Magazine.The month of March had me escaping cold, snowy Pittsburgh to spend three weeks in hot (almost 100 degree) Cambodia, visiting every children’s home of NHO and checking out potential lodging arrangements for this coming August’s NHO Kids Camp. It was a great trip. I had not been able to get to Cambodia since Kids Camp in 2016 and was amazed by the changes within the country, and within NHO since then.The main purposes of the trip were to catch up with everyone and everything that has been happening (there is always so much more than we can hear and report), to actually meet and build relationship with people who have joined the team since the last time I was there, to see homes that did not exist the last time I was there, and to help NHO evaluate where it is right now and prepare for the large growth that all of us see coming in the very near future. These were done, with some additional things added, and we are now sorting through the vast amount of information and ideas to help NHO prepare for success as it continues to grow. However, one of my favorite things on any trip — and this trip was no exception — is to be the one to deliver gifts to a child from their sponsor. The reward in watching the child’s reaction is priceless.Now, let me tell you, this is not as easy of a task as it sounds. We now have almost 400 sponsors. It is physically impossible to gather gifts from every sponsor for every child on every trip unless thousands of dollars would be spent on airline baggage fees. However, on every trip an SEAPC staff person takes to one of the children’s homes, there is always at least one — and sometimes a handful — of gifts being delivered to a child that are from their sponsor. Naturally, these gifts are usually lightweight and small in consideration from the sponsors of how much we already need to take and we greatly appreciate their thoughtfulness.This trip, I was able to take gifts for four children plus be there when a couple of packages that had been mailed to Cambodia were delivered as well. The children ranged from a 6-year-old to a 19-year-old. Their reactions were just as varied.Brosnun, a 6-year-old boy, was very excited but controlled. He meticulously took each item out of the backpack for inspection and then, just as meticulously, put it back. He had a smile on his face the entire time.Chantrea, a 6-year-old girl, was rather shy. She wasn’t quite sure how to act with the foreigner (me) hanging around but she paid very close attention to Sarah John (NHO financial administrator) as she translated the letter from her sponsor and gave a sweet smile when we took a photo of her with her new hair bow in her hair.Sreyneth, a 12-year-old girl, was rather shy too as she received the package that had been mailed and needed to be prompted to open it. She paid very close attention when Sarah translated the letter from her sponsors and was thrilled to get a yellow backpack since her favorite color is yellow.Ly Ly, a 17-year-old girl, was very mature about her gift. She is now the oldest girl at her home and was one of the dancers in the 2014 NHO tour to the USA where she met her sponsors. She was busy helping with dinner at the home but paused long enough to say thank you and to let us get a photo of her smiling with her gift. Later, when she was done, I glanced and saw her looking at the items with her friends.Vith, a 19-year-old boy, tried to act cool and collected, but his smile showed all. This was a great blessing because for many years, this young man would not smile for any photos. Like Brosnun, he meticulously looked through his items. Before we left the home, he was already sharing his new soccer ball with his friends (although they clearly knew it was his).Five kids with five very different responses, but it was easy to see that they felt the love from their sponsors as they received their gifts and heard or read the letters. This is why I love being part of the gift giving so much — to see the impact that such a small action has on the child. Thank you again to these five sponsors and to all of you for the letters, photos, and small gifts that you send. It is making a difference in these children’s lives.

On Guard

There are five areas in our lives where we really need to remain constantly on guard, so as to keep the enemy at bay. Most of us are well aware of the “modus operandi” of the devil (I know spelling rules dictate that we spell devil with a capital letter, but I refuse to comply), and also many of us have knowledge of the Scriptures warning us concerning the importance of our vigilance.So, this blog post serves more as a reminder, rather than a teaching, for those who are serving God in any capacity. The first of the five areas to guard is your heart.There is plenty of scriptural evidence to support the importance of the heart:1 Samuel 13:14 - “The Lord has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart.”1 Samuel 16:7 - “For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”Psalm 51:10 - “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”Psalm 119:11 - “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart.” John 14:1 - “Let not your heart be troubled.”Romans 10:10 - “With the heart one believes.”This has been a prevailing lesson in my life. Time after time I hear the Voice—His Voice—saying, “guard your heart, guard your heart.” I recall one time the church I was pastoring was renting space in a building owned by another denomination. Although our relationship with the church that owned the building was excellent, at one point they established a new church plant in our building, which required us to share the space. Because they were the owners, we lost the favored space and my office was relocated to a very small room, with no windows. This was just one of many downgrades to which we had to adjust. One day while walking up and down the hallway carrying loads of books from one office to the other, I began to have a “pity party.” The Lord spoke the words “guard your heart” to me. I repented and shortly found joy in it all. Just a few months later the denominational pastor called me informing me that they were selling the building, and wanted us to have the first opportunity to purchase it… Which we did, at a phenomenal price!Remember, when our hearts are not guarded, lies are allowed to enter and fester, and temptations are entertained and eventually outward sin manifests. Your anointing is compromised, and the end result is spiritual death. This reminder is found in none other than James 1:12-15.Please be on the lookout for my next blog post in this series, at which time I will address the other four areas which need careful attention.

Kids Camp

I’ve traveled to Cambodia on many occasions with SEAPC and heard about Kids Camp, the biennial gathering of our children from our Raising Kids program that provides evangelism, discipleship, mentoring, and compassion opportunities for orphaned and abandoned children cared for daily through SEAPC. We gather to celebrate the new hope they have found in Jesus. Over the years, I’ve never had the opportunity to go, due to other commitments. This year, I get the privilege of not only attending my first kids camp but also bringing a team of friends from London to serve this nation of Cambodia.

Personally, for me, there’s an excitement and an expectation for God to move in the lives of our children. I’m beyond excited to see what He is going to do. There is nothing more powerful than seeing people—especially children—encounter Jesus. To see their little hands raised in worship in total abandon, to hear them sing and dance with everything from within, and to see the hunger in their eyes for more. Not only will He show up and reveal himself in the lives of the children, house parents, staff, and volunteers but also in those who have chosen to sacrifice 10 days of their time, energy, and finances in serving God. Undoubtedly, we come away changed by the power of his Holy Spirit.

The team from London is a mixed bag, but that’s the beauty of it. Some are new to missions, some an old hand, and others have no idea why they are going but believe it’s where God wants them to go. He chooses to partner with us despite our lack of experience and perhaps capabilities so that we can give Him all glory. I can’t wait to see them surprised by God and to see their relationship with Him grow deeper and further.

I read an article the other day, that stated: “Missions is simply loving.” What a revelation! Jesus was the perfect example of how to live a lifestyle of missions: He compassionately moved towards need and showered love. As a child of God, I know I am called to live the same. If onlyevery one of us loved and moved towards the need knowing that the answer liveson the inside of us. Can you just begin to imagine?If you’re reading this and you’ve never been on a mission trip, just do it! You will not regret it.

Can't Hold Back, Won't Stop

Jeremiah was known as the “prophet of doom.” In chapters 19 and 20 of Jeremiah, we read that after he had prophesied the imminent demise and catastrophe concerning the kings of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Pashhur, the priest and the chief governor in the Lord’s house, struck Jeremiah and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin.This unpopular prophet laments his plight in verses 8 and 9, when he says, “Because the word of the Lord was made to me a reproach and a derision daily.” Then he says, “I will not make mention of Him, (God) nor speak anymore in His name.” He was ready to throw in the towel with this whole prophet thing! But, Jeremiah had one huge problem with this. He says in the next verse, “But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not.”I know that you do not have to be a prophet of doom to experience adversity and personal attack from many different directions when you are serving the Lord with relentless passion. I have been discouraged more than a few times in my ministry, even enough to consider the possibility that I should “wind down” and call it quits. However, there is one huge problem with that. You see, His word is in my heart, like a burning fire shut up in my bones; And I cannot hold it back!I returned from Mexico in February from the most powerful and dynamic trip of my lifetime. We traveled by van with Pastors Alejandro and Iliana Orella, their sons Mathew and Esteban Orella, Pastor Isaias Acosta, Norma Erb, and Amy Sobek. We were in three different states — Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Vera Cruz — ministering in five cities. I preached in eight awesome churches, 12 different times, and God allowed me to preach about half of these in Spanish. How could I possibly quit?As long as the fire burns, I cannot hold it back.There is revival in parts of Mexico. I keep hearing the voice of God saying, “Seek me while I may be found.” (Isaiah 55:6-7) I have always looked for the place where the Spirit is moving, and desired to be in that place, to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in that particular Kingdom work. And now, the book I have written is published and being sold, first in Spanish in Mexico and now in English in the United States.This book is called Anointed For Tears and is a combination of Bible teaching, personal experiences over the years working, and some prophetic exhortation. I have poured my heart and soul into this book, and I am believing that it will go to many, many places where I will never be able to go.Pastor Carol Missik’s book, Anointed For Tears, is a combination of Bible teaching, personal experiences over the years working, and some prophetic exhortation.

Peace for Their Children

In February, Mike Wolf was part of a small team (which also included Bob Roth and Bob Rosswog) from SEAPC) that traveled to Kashmir to pray for and serve alongside the Church of North India. We are thankful for our friends in North India who continue to stand in the gap for the men, women, and children of the Kashmir Valley.One of the favorite parts of my day is to go out running, plug the headphones in, and listen to some great worship music. In that process recently, I began to reflect on our visit last month to Srinagar. I am still processing what I learned and the impediments for the population to accept the glory of Jesus Christ.

I began to contemplate on the barriers that current believers face in Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir in many ways is the final frontier for Christian outreach. Those who convert to Christianity are viewed as immoral degenerate people. Anything associated with Christianity is often persecuted. The majority of the Kashmiri are devout Muslims. Among the seven million Kashmiri Muslims in the Kashmir Valley, there are only about 250 Christians. Over the years many of the Christian properties—including All Saints Church of Srinagar—have been vandalized or destroyed. Our friend Pastor M was beaten, arrested, put on trial, and eventually had to leave the area.Kashmir was again in the news this week with the rape and murder of an eight-year-old Muslim girl. Eight Hindu men have been arrested and accused of involvement. Allegedly as a part of a plan to drive Muslim nomads out the Kathua district in Jammu, the mostly Hindu region of India’s only Muslim majority state.Social media has become a platform to easily and effectively spread radicalized sentiment in the region which has further inflamed the situation.India and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir, the most recent in 1999, with border skirmishes as recently as 2015. Hundreds of people have been blinded by the pellet guns used during the recent riots. It is considered one of the most militarized areas in the world today.In contrast, we met so many courteous and trusting people during our visit in March. All they want is peace for their children and a safe place for them to grow up. Even the Student Alliance we had the pleasure to meet with was working to offset the radicalized messages on social media. It is such a physically beautiful area that many call it Shangri-La.On our journey we met a wonderful Christian in a leadership position who patiently and quietly explained the way to reach the people was by example through demonstrating service, always demonstrating service. Show them how different you are and how you care about them. Be the lamp on the hill! Matthew 5:14-16 says “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”I thought that it so epitomized what SEAPC stands for. Prayer and grace wherever they may go and let the hand of God do its miraculous work! I pray for Peace in Kashmir and Jammu. I pray that the Kashmiri Muslims and Hindus in Jammu will become more aware of their need of Jesus Christ our savior. I pray that they become aware of the forgiveness of sin and redemption that Jesus has provided.The SEAPC Medical Team will be visiting the Valley again in May. Our goal will to be to serve, love, and pray for the people of Kashmir and Jammu. Please pray for God’s miraculous hand.To learn more about where and how SEAPC serves, click here.SEAPC is dedicated to changing lives through prayer.

A Birthday to Remember

There are people you meet on this journey in life who astound you with their ability to give. Raquel is one of them.Last year Raquel went on a short-term trip to Cambodia which was the fulfillment of a word God had spoken into her heart nearly 20 years ago: that she was to go to Cambodia and share Jesus. It was beautiful to watch her blossom before my eyes. A woman who thought that deferred hope was all that she would receive found out that God does fulfill His promises in His perfect timing.

A Birthday to Remember

In January, she went back to Cambodia to teach accounting skills to the new accounting team in the SEAPC-Cambodia office. She returned with her heart full of vision for the staff at the NHO Children’s homes in Cambodia. She came to us with her vision and out of it was birthed the idea of sponsoring the staff at these homes.So how would she reach her sphere of influence? She chose to have a birthday party with the other side of the world.An Arise & Shine event is a wonderful evening where we gather together and prepare to eat dinner while we video conference with a children’s home in Cambodia where they are eating breakfast. We share a meal. We share questions. We share answers. We share smiles. We share hope. We share love. It’s a beautiful evening, but Raquel dreamed of more, so she decided that instead of having a birthday party she would host an Arise & Shine event instead.So she sent invites, ordered cake and pizza, picked up party favors, and worried and prayed. And when the time came to open the doors, she was floored to find nearly 80 people from all areas of her life had come to support her.Eyes and ears were opened—and hearts were touched—both here and there.The best moment for me, however, was the surprise at the end of our video conference time. Raquel had the opportunity to speak one-on-one (with the help of a translator) with the 2 children she sponsors. Their eyes lit up as they got to speak with her about the latest things happening at school and at home. Then as they said their goodbyes and Raquel began to step out of the screen Oudoum (the SEAPC-Cambodia staff member and translator) said: “Wait, Raquel! Come back!”She stepped back into the frame just in time to watch the kids carry in a small, round birthday cake lit up with candles. The kids sang “Happy Birthday” in Khmer as they clapped and sang. They don’t celebrate birthday’s often in Cambodia. It just isn’t “a thing” there, so to know that they thought about it and went out of their way to provide this moment for her was humbling.And as I watched her tears quietly fall down her face I thought, “This is what it’s about. This right here.” It isn’t about the money contributed, or the buildings built, or the education provided. Those things are wonderful and important, but beneath it all it’s about the heart. It’s about that connection from one side of the world to the other. It’s about hope. It’s about growing the body of Christ one soul at a time both here, there and everywhere.So to all of you who wear out their knees from praying: thank you. Your prayers for Cambodia, for these children, for the short-term teams who go and for the people who give brought this into being. Your prayers help to change lives. And tonight that life was Raquel’s.Whose will it be tomorrow I wonder?To learn more about where and how SEAPC serves, click here.SEAPC is dedicated to changing lives through prayer.

Hope for Oaxaca

Some of you may be familiar with the name, and pronunciation of, Oaxaca (wah-haak-kuh) after hearing about the recent earthquakes in Mexico this past fall. For those of you who are not, I’d like to bring a few facts to your attention and ask for your prayers for this place and its people. Among the 31 states of Mexico, Oaxaca is the fifth largest and the fourth most impoverished state in the country. It is situated about 300 miles southeast of Mexico City and is home to 3.5 million people, of which 70 percent of the children are living under the poverty line. Unfortunately, Oaxaca also has one of the worst records in the country for maternal mortality, deaths by cervical cancer, and diarrheal illness in children. According to the World Data Atlas, Oaxaca had an infant mortality rate of 13.9/1000 live births in 2013; this is over double that of the United States.

You might be wondering why or how this is happening. I was wondering the same thing. After speaking with a dear friend and global leader of SEAPC, Hector Zetino, I found out the sad answer was lack of access to proper care. Of course, this lack of access has many causes. In some parts of the country, healthcare workers have been on strike. In some others, the roadblocks are simply a lack of government funding for medical facilities, or medicine shortages. And beyond that, there is just not enough room in the current hospitals for women who are about to be in labor.No room to deliver a child? Hmm, I know of a similar story, which leads me to the answer to this health crisis in Mexico: Jesus Christ. When reading from Luke 6, these words really struck me, “He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people…who came to hear him and be healed for Oaxaca of their diseases. And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.” I love that Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. This tells us the he was right up in the action and walking alongside them, not performing miracles from a hilltop or keeping a distance away from the people. This is where we need to be.This spring, South East Asia Prayer Center is gearing up for multiple future trips to Oaxaca. This is a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus. It’s an opportunity to bring Christ-based change to a nation in need through medical mission teams and much prayer. Whether you can pray, go, or give, will you join us? We are currently seeking medical professionals and other individuals looking to serve the people of Oaxaca in May. We are also in need of medical supplies, specifically OB/GYN related. Thank you to those who have given! Please call the office or contact me via email (carlyd@seapc.org) for more details.All photos in this post are courtesy of Frank Bruno.To learn more about where and how SEAPC serves, click here.SEAPC is dedicated to changing lives through prayer.

Lives Changed Through Spare Change

SEAPC Coins for Kids, now in its 11th year, has raised over $200,000 just in spare change since its inception! What a blessing! Adults and kids of all ages have been collecting coins and sending them into our office where they are all added together and sent out to bless kids in need around the world! Normally, a check needs to be written or a pledge needs to be made during a fundraising campaign in order for needs to be met, but, SEAPC Coins for Kids is unique in that even a single quarter can be added to the total and still make a difference! Twenty-five cents can only buy a gumball in the U.S., but in a village in Southeast Asia, it can provide an entire meal.

This simplicity is what has allowed kids of all ages to feel like they are helping as they look under couch cushions, search the floor of the car, and even ask for coins in exchange for chores that they do! It's amazing to see kids beam with pride as they turn in water bottles now filled with change. You see, the blessing isn't just felt by those who receive the coins, but also by those who are collecting. They learn what it’s like to work toward a goal for someone else. They appreciate what they have more when they understand that there are kids living without toys, books, food and clean water. They become motivated and generous.Funds from SEAPC Coins for Kids has gone toward causes such as: new kitchen facilities and playground equipment at children's homes in Cambodia, student sponsorship to attend Christian summer and winter retreats, winter coats for refugees, heart surgeries for Tibetan children, and much more!

There are two campaigns each year. The first campaign takes place during the 8 weeks leading to Easter and the second during the eight weeks leading to Thanksgiving. These are, however, simply a guideline as coins are collected year round. I want to encourage you to grab an empty water bottle, mason jar, piggy bank, change purse or cup and place it on your dresser, in your car, or both! Ask your friends and family to do the same, sit back, and watch as those containers fill up in the name of Jesus!To learn more about SEAPC Coins for Kids, click here.SEAPC is dedicated to changing lives through prayer.

Beginning the Ripple

Today we are excited to share more about the Water Drop project from Jenni Taylor, who is serving this vision in Cambodia. To read some background on how this project came to be, read Jenni’s last post here.On Sunday February 11, 2018, I sat in the front row of the large auditorium of Meanchey University in Cambodia. I scanned the crowd nervously. The room was full. Our audience today, and for the next three Sundays, were 500 teachers from the province. Our goal? To help them catch the vision of every fourth, fifth, and sixth grade child in the province learning to speak and read English from teachers who were already fluent in the language.

Every teacher was dressed up. Many of the women wore the traditional Khmer long skirts with a button-up blouse, their hair carefully pulled back. The men were also in button ups, their shirts neatly tucked in and belt buckles shining. There was an excited buzz throughout the room. One woman immediately caught my eye. As our conference opened with various important dignitaries speaking, she leaned forward in her seat with her glasses perched on her nose. Her collar was starched, her skirt was ironed, and her eyes were sharp. She took notes during each speech and peered intently at the stage. This woman, and every individual sitting in this auditorium, represented one school campus in the province. Each teacher represented scores of students. Each teacher represented possibilities. Each teacher here was an individual with a heart and soul and the power of influence over their students.We began by introducing them to our program. Cambodian officials have decreed that every fourth, fifth, and sixth grade teacher must become fluent in the next three years. We are here to help them with that. Using video and technology, and an English program based on a children’s Bible called My Precious Book, we will provide the tools they need to learn. In turn, the teachers will pass on those lessons in their classes with the potential of impacting hundreds of thousands of students.

Our conferences were simple. We sang worship songs, and the Cambodian national anthem. We learned new vocabulary, and played games using the simplest of resources. I watched teachers and Cambodian leaders arrange alphabet cards into spelling words, and draw cartoons to represent ideas. We laughed together as they rose to each new challenge. Our first verse we learned together in English was Philippians 4:13: “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” Over the four weeks, we also taught the teachers how to use different technology and apps on their smart phones to continue learning English.The same woman who caught my eye early in the conferences was soon placed at number three of all the teachers on our online vocabulary game. She was embarrassed yet proud to be recognized, and I smiled. Her leadership is just one example of the potential filling that room. Our last conference was comprised of group presentations. Groups of teachers had to come on to the stage of the auditorium and present 10 of our English vocabulary words to their peers.The challenge was to make it as creative as possible and to accomplish everything through teamwork. My teacher heart rejoiced as each group came to the front and presented songs, games, and activities. The atmosphere in the room was one of joy, laughter, and pure fun as they did their presentations. The majority of the teachers speak little to no English, but they still rose to the challenge and began to teach what they had only just learned in these few short weeks.One teacher had brought her child with her to the conference as there was no babysitter to watch over her. The young girl sat behind me as I watched the presentations, and was riveted. She began repeating the words out loud when the teachers were teaching, and joined in for the games. I heard her struggling word by word to read our very first story of My Precious Book. “Thank you God, for creating the sun,” she read, in English.This was it. This is why we are here. In front of me were empowered, creative, confident teachers practicing what they learned. Behind me was this young girl who represented every student of the province, who will soon hold My Precious Book in their hands and read the words in English out loud to themselves. As we held our graduation ceremony at the end of the conference, I knew we were releasing something beautiful and exciting through the Holy Spirit into the entirety of the provincial education system.Our program is called Water Drop. These 500 teacher leaders are our first ripple effect as the drop of English, Bible-based curriculum is dropped into the province. I believe with all my heart the ripples will exceed our wildest imaginations. Please continue to pray for Banteay Meanchey province as we move on to the next phase of Water Drop: providing every fourth, fifth, and sixth grade teacher with weekly English lessons through the use of video and technology.To learn more about where and how SEAPC serves, click here.SEAPC is dedicated to changing lives through prayer.

Reaching to the Valleys

During the month of May, SEAPC will be sending a medical missions team into the mountain valleys of Kashmir, North India. One of the mountain valleys that the team will serve is called Pahalgam or “the valley of the shepherds.”

Last year, I was with Brother Mark Geppert meeting with the imam and other leaders from the Pahalgam Valley and they talked about the need for medical services for 40,000 people that live there. The imam talked about not having medical services available for all of these people and noted that a clinic would make a big impact and give them hope that someone cares for them. His words reminded me of the calling of Dr. David Livingstone when heard the words of Robert Moffat a missionary to Africa.Moffat said, “I have seen, at different times, the smoke of a thousand villages — villages whose people are without Christ, without God, and without hope in the world.” As I looked down the valley and saw the smoke rising up from the different homes and villages, all I could think of were “villages whose people are without to the valleys REACHING Christ, without God, and without hope in the world.” I knew I had to pray and get a medical team to reach the people of that valley.Our medical team will be partnering with the John Bishop Memorial Hospital in Anantnag — about an hour and half down the valley — to host medical clinics for the people of the valley. God is using the doctors and nurses to get into places that most missionaries cannot get into. Their medical skills and gifts give them a very practical way to be the loving hands of Christ to spread the love of Jesus to a lost and hurting world. If you are medical and the Lord is speaking to you about getting involved, then please call or email us, and we will get you the information about either this trip or another trip that will allow you to use your skills and gifts to change the world.This team needs your prayers. The valley of Pahalgam is almost 100 percent Muslim, but greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We will be walking in power of the Holy Spirit to be light in a very dark place. Matthew 5:16, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”To learn more about where and how SEAPC serves, click here.SEAPC is dedicated to changing lives through prayer.
