Meet Pastor Sophon from Cambodia. Pastor Sophon and his wife, Mrs. Thach, have 3 daughters. Pastor Sophon attended TLT training to become a better pastor. Through the TLT manuals, he created action plans to apply his learning and impact his community. One Action Plan led him to visit and listen to the people in his neighborhood. As a result, Mr. Pay's heart opened to accept Jesus as his own Savior.
Another Action Plan that Pastor Sophon and his family practiced was to plant 400 banana trees. They can feed themselves and help others in the community too. In fact recently, their farm has expanded to 500 banana trees !
We thank God for leaders like Pastor Sophon, Mrs. Thach, and their TLT trainers Navy Chann-Chhay and Ly Chhay from Resonate Global Mission !

We are praying for our partners in India, Nepal and Bangladesh as they are impacted by severe flooding. The church pictured below was covered during a mudslide near Siliguri, India. Reports of village rice paddies flooding cause concern over hunger for next year. We lift our brothers and sisters to the LORD, Lord hear our prayer.

Part 2:
Remember the Rwandan community that was impacted by an Action Plan around harm and violence within families? Read how their story continues.
The pastor started separate men's and women's groups dealing with family life, including spousal concerns. "...Eventually, he instructed people in both classes to write anonymous respectful letters to their spouses addressing problems in their homes. Again, they were instructed to omit identifying details. These letters were then handed in and read publicly in both classes. The effect was electric. People realized what a big problem family harm and violence is and realized that they are not alone. They also realized they could repent and deal with their problems without feeling that they were somehow worse than everyone else. Many couples were able to create greater health in their marriages as a result. Also, harm and violence in families became a subject that could be talked about. This creative approach enabled families to deal with difficult subjects while minimizing their sense of shame. Eventually, there were several who testified publicly about what God has done in their family life."
