Cambodia - Thursday 4th October 2012

Okay...the heading on this post is Thursday 4th October but it is in fact Saturday and I am sitting at my desk back in Sydney.

Thursday morning it was my blessing to share at the ICPC (Church planters) prayer morning. This is the day of the favour of the Lord, the day of Grace...the day of receiving.

We have a tradition that the team always has lunch or dinner together and so we all gathered for lunch and rejoiced together.

My departure is always tinged with sadness but with anticipation to see Alyson and Tilly.

I am so blessed.
My Australian team who through the heat, the opposition, the emotional upheaval, the mud, the difficulties and through the times of great blessing and excitement ministered the love of Christ in word and deed.
My Cambodian team who are such a blessing to me. I cannot describe how much joy I have to stand with you in Cambodia and together minister the abundant grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our everything and this is the day of receiving His blessing. As a channel I receive the fullness of His abundant grace for you. God bless you all.
All who support our ministry...words cannot express my gratitude to you all. Your prayer, your love, your financial blessing...everything that you provide as Kingdom providers that enable us to step into the call that the Lord has blessed us with...God bless you. This is your ministry...you are donors to the ministry of Grace, Abundant Grace, to Benjamin, and the Lord will reward you. Receive from Him.
'For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you, and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead,...
To my Lord...to You be the glory...You are worthy of all praise and honour. We rejoice in You; You are our Saviour, our Advocate, The Almighty, the Alpha and the Omega, the Amen, the Author and Perfecter of Faith, the Bread of Life, our Chief Shepherd, our Cornerstone, our Deliverer, the Door, the First and the Last, the Glory of God, our Great High Priest, Heir of all things, Immanuel, our King, the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Lamb, Life, the Light of the World, Lord of All, our Righteousness, the Man of Sorrows, the Messenger of the Covenant, the Messiah, Mighty God, our Passover, Prince of Life, Prince of Peace, our Redeemer, the Resurrection and the Life, our Rock, the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls, the True Light, the True Vine, the Truth, our Wonderful Counsellor, the Word of God. All praise and glory to Your Holy Name. Thank You Jesus.
...and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. And put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.' Ephesians 1: 15 - 23

Final word...Jesus 1825, satan 0.

God bless you all.
