New Article/Interview "Man On A Mission" By - Dawn Araujo

"Man on a Mission"

Word count: 1,982

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. –Romans 12:11

Twenty-six-year old Aaron Bradley beams into the camera. He’s dressed up today: He’s on his first weekend excursion to the countryside. Instead of his usual California uniform of flip-flops, cargo shorts and faded tees, he’s sporting black slacks and a button-down. Next to him, a leathery-skinned Khmer man wearing an east-meets-west combo of krama and baseball cap tries the same. But his face expresses more curiosity than the joy of his companion. Bradley spotted the leathery man while traveling along a dirt road in the rural Preah Vihear province of Cambodia. He decided to stop and talk.

But Bradley does that.

“I love living, speaking and loving the unreached,” he says. By “unreached” he means the nearly 2.7 billion people worldwide he says have never heard of Jesus or Christianity. Spreading the gospel is Bradley’s passion. And he has a habit of talking to anyone who will listen.

Like the time Bradley began telling the cashier at a Denny’s about Jesus. Eventually, many of the waiters and waitresses gathered around to listen. Or the time Bradley used down time during a missed flight to preach the gospel to a stranger at his terminal. The man cried and said he felt touched by the Holy Spirit. Once, while working a garage sale, Bradley noticed a customer grabbing her back every time she bent over. He said he could sense she was a Christian and asked to pray for her back. “I was able to pray for her back and ask the Lord to graciously touch her back and heal it,” he wrote in his blog later that day. “We finished praying and she drove away. I look back and thank God for that woman—she glowed with the love of Jesus! I pray for God's continued touch on her back. What a blessing to pray and minister to her at my garage sale. Thank you, Jesus for that opportunity!”

In light of the intensity with which he throws himself into evangelizing, it’s hard to imagine there was a time Bradley was indifferent to God. But there was. Growing up in the 3,000-population city of Kelseyville in southwestern California, Bradley had more temporal interests. “He was a skater and he was really rather good,” his mother says, “But he never got into it professionally. He probably could have.” Instead of going pro, he joined the Navy.

But after a few years, he returned to California with a new goal. According to his mother, Bradley had been saved and had a new commitment to Christ. “When the Lord finally got hold of him, he gave him a passion,” she says. Bradley enrolled in Horizon College of San Diego, a school focused on training evangelists.

When Bradley graduated in 2007, he began praying, asking God to show him where to go next. In August of that year, he got his answer. “The Lord told him that’s where he wanted him to go,” his mother says of the decision. “Don’t ask me how, he didn’t tell me that, but the Lord told him.”

The location: Cambodia.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. –Psalm 34:18

Cambodia is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. To find the source of its poverty, it’s necessary to look back to a day in 1975 when an army of adolescents and teenagers from Cambodia’s rural hill region marched in to Phnom Penh, the nation’s capitol. Armed with Chinese-supplied AK-47s and orders from a government they called Angka, the guerilla soldiers herded out the city’s inhabitants in just a few days.

These child soldiers were the Khmer Rouge. Their leader was the French-educated socialist Pol Pot. Pol Pot dreamt of a self-sufficient, ethnically pure Cambodian state supported by an agrarian workforce. And that meant everyone would work the rice fields. Cambodia’s cities became ghost towns as all the city dwellers were forced—on foot—to the countryside, prodded along by teenaged soldiers who promised Angka would take care of everything.

But once the people reached the rice fields, they quickly learned that Angka cared little for their wellbeing. The people worked and starved together in labor camps. Those with Western education—doctors, teachers, lawyers—were singled out for torture and execution in the notorious killing fields. Vietnamese immigrants as well as Christian and Muslim minorities were also singled out.

By the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, 2 million Cambodians were dead.

The following decade was marked by the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia. Cambodian independence came in 1953. But by that time, Cambodia, between the French, the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese, had been under foreign rule for 95 years.

The new constitutional monarchy was riddled with corruption from the start. The prime minister, Hun Sen, had been a member of the Khmer Rouge—deserting for the South Vietnamese liberation forces just before the Khmer Rouge’s fall. The figurehead king, Norodom Sihanouk, was a mainstay of Cambodian government. As were his policies of selling out the Cambodian people for political gain. The Khmer Rouge had purged the country of doctors and teachers. And more than 30 percent of the population was under the age of 18. There was virtually no workforce.

Today, the average annual income in Cambodia is less than $500. Only 41 percent of the population has access to clean water. And only 17 percent have access to adequate sanitation facilities. Eighty-eight percent of children under 5 will contract malaria. And in the sex trafficking capitol of the world, 30,000 children are sex slaves—some as young as 5 years old.

“Cambodia is a country torn from war, oppression, and mass genocide,” Bradley wrote in his blog that August. “A country that is considered unreached…out of 14 million people less than 5 percent are reached for Jesus! Millions have never heard of Jesus name. I am excited that the Lord has called me to share the gospel with these wonderful people who desperately need Jesus!”

And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. –Mark 13:10

In December 2007, Bradley left for a one-month trip to Cambodia. He had set up to work with a Christian orphanage in Poipet, a city near the Cambodia-Thailand border. In preparation, he had taken a several Khmer language lessons with an employee at a local Cambodia restaurant and raised money through garage sales and donations.

But as an evangelist, Bradley was up against tough odds. For starters, 98 percent of Cambodians are Theravada Buddhists—the state religion. And Christianity is hardly promoted. A complete Khmer-language Bible did not exist until 1954. And as Bradley wrote in his blog, “Millions have not even had the chance to hear Jesus’ name ONCE!” The government in Phnom Penh espouses religious freedom, but the veracity of that freedom has been questioned of late.

By law, all religious organizations in Cambodia must register with the Ministry of Cults and Religious Affairs and must obtain government approval in order to build schools or places of worship. In recent years, Christian organizations have complained that they have been denied registration without clear explanation as to why.

In June 2007, the Ministry of Cults and Religions reasserted their power over evangelism by reissuing the restrictions on proselytizing originally placed in 2003. The restrictions ban door-to-door activities, using loudspeakers, and the provision of material incentives as rewards for conversion.

Bradley also faced a frail Christian community. He describes the state of Christianity in Cambodia as “not very alive, divided, very immature. With all sorrow I say…in desperate need of revival!” But Bradley was optimistic and spent the month working in the orphanage and sharing the gospel. The work being done by other missionaries and the changes he saw in the Cambodian people had a powerful effect on Bradley.

“It truly was a remarkable time in which it also was a time where I saw the wretchedness of my sinful heart and a fresh new desperation for my savior, Jesus,” he wrote in his blog upon his return to California in January. “For example: The ‘I want it and I want it now’ mindset here in the U.S. doesn't go over very well there and being in that culture God allowed me to see my sin.”

Bradley prayed and fasted during the month of February, seeking guidance and where he should go and what he should do next.

He spent the next seven months as the overseer of evangelism at his church in San Diego. He also tutored kids, did yard work for those who were unable to do it themselves and provided care for the sick in his community. But he kept thinking about Cambodia.

And at the end of July, he went back. Indefinitely.

Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me…and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. –Matthew 10:37, 38

A Buddhist monk insists that Bradley take a picture of him reading and “sitting like a proper monk.” Bradley, the reading monk and seven of his companions, had already taken several smiling group photos. Draped in his orange robe, he places an open book on the desk in front of him then sits back on a platform and folds his hands, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Bradley obliges and snaps two photos. His weekends are devoted to moments like these. “Excursions," as he calls them. Here, Bradley gets to know the soul of the Cambodian people. He attends services at upstart churches and dreams of one day planting his own. As always, he talks to anyone who will listen about Jesus. He is working toward creating a base for long-term ministry in the northern rural areas. During the week, Bradley studies Khmer at a school in Poipet.

The decision is not without its sacrifices. For instance, there are no In-N-Out restaurants in Cambodia, an issue of particular dismay to Bradley—though he once toyed with the idea of having hamburgers sent through the mail. And he can’t talk to his mom everyday. But she says he tries to call when he can. “It’s not every week, it’s just random. For sure at least once a month,” she says. “I watch him on Facebook and I read his blog.”

The consummate evangelizer, a strong online presence is a key aspect of Bradley’s work. “It’s just so people could keep track of him and feel to be a part of it,” his mother says, “So they know what he’s doing. There’s a lot of missionaries you don’t hear a lot about. This way it’s more personal and that is also his way of witnessing.”

Bradley’s Facebook group “Jesus in Cambodia” has 136 members from across the U.S. There’s one member from Uganda. People from 54 different countries— including Finland, the United Arab Emirates and Spain—have visited his blog to read about his hopes, dreams and day-to-day activities trying to spread the gospel in Southeast Asia.

And as long as there are people to hear the gospel, or to hear about his work, Bradley will keep doing what he’s doing. He believes he has as a two-fold, God-given mission in life: to build God’s kingdom as it says in John 15:8 and to get to know God on a personal level as it says Mark 3:14. He believes only God can determine how long he will stay in Cambodia.

“As long as God keeps me here—maybe one, two, three, five, 10, 20, 50 years—I don't know,” he says. “But just as Paul got his orders from headquarters and returned back to his home church when his mission was complete, so I will follow my Lord where ever he leads me.”

*Thankful to God for His tender mercy!

Titus 3:3-6

"Dear Family, Friends, and Saints of the Lord,

Well, its been five months and we havwe one left. The Lord plans things, and in Cambodia I have learned to let go and let Him lead. This is not always the case but I will remain firm in my devotion to Jesus as He leads me through this chapter of my life. I have found that the Lord has established many fundamental relationships here, with brothers and sisters and also with those outside the Body of Christ. There is much fallow ground to be broken, and I know that Jesus will supply all thats needed to engage this country for the Kingdom. Your prayers as always have been vital in this ministry and we are blessed to have so many partners and co-laborers in the Gospel. Prayer I believe is the greater work. The Lord has answered prayers and spoken clearly to both Aaron and I concerning direction for our focus in the Northern Province of Preah Vihear. God be praised. Last but far from least, I want to continue to ask you all to seek a deeper walk with the Father and a life of absolute devotion to Jesus; He is the only way to the Father. Jesus is, and will always be the narrow gate. Abide in His eternal Love and find peace in Him."-Elijah Brown

We want to state that we are thankful to Him who is good to us and mankind! He loves the khmer people of Cambodia and He is really longsuffering and desires that they acknowledge, follow, and worship Him! He loves them! Continue To Pray for:

1.Spiritual Awakening of Cambodia.
2.Revival of the small existing church in Cambodia.
3a. Please target Kuleen Preah Vihear Province, Northern Cambodia in your prayers and

Feb. & Mar. 09 Cambodia Update - "...We Serve A God Who Answers Prayer..."

Dear Family, Friends, & Beloved Prayer Warriors -

Warm greetings to you from Elijah and Aaron all the way from Cambodia in South East Asia - we pray that this update finds you well and we invite you to read this brief summary of the last two months (Feb. & Mar.) Elijah & I both wrote a note to you all and we combined them together. Enjoy the update and we invite you to receive encouragement and be inspired by the Holy Spirit to keep serving Jesus Christ with your whole heart - give your all to the Lord in His service! I feel it is fitting to state once again the object of our service to the Master (which can never be exhausted!), "...to love the Lord our God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, and with all your strength; and to love our neighbor as yourself ." Let us love God with everything that we posses and as we pour ourselves out before the Lord in His service - He will continually fill us with His loving Spirit and others will be drawn to Him as our lives are overflowing with His love! Let us abide in Him and remember that He is with us always even to the end of the age!

"First of all I want to state that we serve a God who answers prayer, and who's love ,we can never exhaust. With that said, I want to thank all of you for the prayers and support, it has meant more to me then you will ever know. I have had the blessing to learn alot about faith due to alot of health problems in the last few months. But the Lord is sustaining me. There is so much work to be done in Cambodia, and the longer I'm here the more I see what needs to be done. The Lord is the only hope for this country. There is so much injustice here and so many people who are without any hope. They have been through so much in the last 40 years and now they still have to deal with a corrupt government. I know the Lord wants to show the people of Cambodia He has not forgotten them, and that His love for them is unending. God has been opening up many doors to meet what I feel are important contacts and people who will greatly benefit this ministry in the long term. I am excited for this. The Lord is always stretching and pruning me and these times never feel good but I'm grateful He cares. We serve a God who is Himself LOVE . I'm more then ever convinced that to understand and to know how to love we must know God above knowing all else. May the peace of the LORD fill you and keep you. I love you all, because He loved us first."
-EliJAH

"Dear Friends,
I am at a loss for words and am not sure how I want to start this update. The month of February & March were very trying for me - with sickness ( fevers, vomiting, back problems, muscle spasms, etc), miscommunication on my part (Its a tough learning lesson learning to lead and working through miscommunication - I am learning from the Lord Jesus and He has spoken, blessed, & helped me in 1 Peter 5:1-11). But I see going through trying times as a great thing (*James 1:2-4) yet it is not fun or comfortable but a necessary cost to count in following Jesus - as for me these trying times caused me to seek Him with all that I am and it created a fresh new hunger (*Matt. 5:6 & Psalm 119:2,10,34) and desperation for the King Jesus and His help! It reminded me that I am needy, weak, and helpless in and of myself(*Psalm 119:69-71,73-76,86-88, 107,114,116,117,145,146,153,173) and I'm always in need of Jesus and thankful for His invitation, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink" Yes! I am so thirsty and needy for my Savior!
Yet I am thinking of the fact of what God teaches that we are in Him, "...we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."! Another thing, while being sick I was laid up and had time to think about alot of things, yet I am excited to relay the encouragement that the Holy Spirit desires to give you - "Keep going - don't give up but press in to Me." I want to encourage you with a reminder of an awesome truth - "God hears prayer and answers prayer." Continue in the faith and believe God - He will help you! Amen. "...seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you." - Jesus Christ. "
- Aaron B.

In conclusion I would like to share some things the Lord has shown us about our next steps to take, and we invite you to pray with us and watch the Lord answers these prayers! He has led us to plan to move up to Northern Cambodia (Preah Vihear Province) fall of 2009/spring 2010 to begin work among the rural unreached. I would also like to mention that we are confident the Lord hears our prayers and answers our prayers despite of the uncertainties in this world or financial crises - He has called us to this work ("He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. " *1Thess. 5:24) and He will supply! We are asking the Lord for - heavenly wisdom with these decisions, divine connections, and tangible resources:

Prayer Requests:



1. Transportation - 2 Motorbikes.




2. We Are Looking Into Purchasing Land To build vs. Renting/Leasing - for a long term ministry base.


3. Spiritual Awakening Among Cambodian People.


4. Long Term Visas.




5. English Teacher For English Program - God would call a person with vision to run an english program to benefit the rural poor and show them Gods love - most of the people are poor and have minimal opportunity for education and subsequently remain poor.




6. Sustainable Gardening Program.




7. Health Insurance.




8. Bibles, Bibles, Bibles - The Lord's desire is to offer Bibles free of charge!

***Please let me encourage you to Pray, Pray, Pray! Your prayers are very IMPORTANT!!!

Jesus Bless You!

Prayer Points For March 2009

Dear christian friends,



Here is the most current prayer requests that we have - we invite you to ask God with us! "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you." Matt. 6:33 &

"My prayer to God for (*Cambodia) Isreal is that they may be saved." Romans 10:1

*Note: Elijah and I are studying the language during the week and on the weekends we are scouting out a province in Northern Cambodia where God has leading us to set up a base for long term ministry.

Here are some main prayer points to pray about:

1. That Elijah and I would be in love with Jesus Christ!
   


2. That God would help me and Elijah to learn the language.(*Also ask for prayer in learning to read & prayer for heavenly diligence with language studies. We eagerly desire to speak in the khmer language so we can preach Jesus to lost Cambodians!)
   
   


3. That God would show us where He wants to set up a base for long term ministry in Northern Cambodia - Preah Vihear province. (*Pray for our weekend "Excursions" for the month of March.)
   


4. That God would spiritually awaken and pour out His Spirit on the people of Cambodia.
   


5. That God would bring young Khmer men to assist us and to be future christian leaders in Cambodia.
   


6. Cambodians would be saved and discipled and that House Churches would be started/planted in the 6 months we're here.
   


7. Provision For (Food, Transportation, Housing, Communication) For March 2009.
   


8. Provision For "Excursions" For March 2009 - Itinerant Weekend Trips To Rural Northern Cambodia To Establish Long Term Ministry.
   


9. Pray that our communication would be open between Elijah and I, between Cambodians and us as well.
   


10. Pray for our health - We are having consistent stomach problems.

"Then Jesus spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: 'There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God or care about people. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying,'Give me justice from my adversary.' And he wouldn't give her justice, but the judge thought to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about people, yet because this widow keeps bugging me I will help her so she doesn't wear me out.' Then the Lord said, 'Hear what the unjust judge said, 'And will God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily."Luke 18:1-8a

*PS - We are thankful and grateful for the many prayers that will be offered for the salvation of Cambodia and for Elijah and I. Thank you for this oh so important partnership in the Spirit!

In Jesus Christ,
Elijah Brown & Aaron Bradley
"...I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named..." Romans 15:20

A Word Of Inspiration For Christian Missions

Dear christian friends,
I pray that this note finds you well, my reason for writing is to inspire you for christian missions, to remind you that in unreached people groups in the world (*joshuaproject.net) approximately 2.72 billion people are poor lost souls, as we once were (*Matt. 9:12-13). I believe that God is asking His body, His church, His Bride to send out workers into this lost world - to go out in this dead and dieing world - to "Go for it!"
(*John 4:34-38 & Matt. 9:37,38)

Here is a challange that I believe the Lord of Glory wants to give His people:

• Will you dedicate yourself to His service?

• Will you dedicate yourself to the furtherance of His wonderful gospel?

• Will you say "yes" to this wonderful call to service and "Go"? (*Matthew 28:18-20)
  

• Those of you who are already devoted to the furtherance of the gospel, let this be an encouragment to you to keep going and step it up.

*May I share a wonderful quote from a pioneer missionary John Williams to the South Pacific, he said
while on furlow to England,

"I feel, still, that the work of christian missions is the greatest, noblest, and sublimest to which the energies of the human mind can be devoted. I think, christian friends, that no labor we can bestow, no sacrifice that we can make, no journeys that we can undertake are to great to be undertaken for the glorious purpose of illuminating the dark world with the light of the glorious gospel."

I pray that as the Spirit of God is working within you that you may do as He is asking of you and submit yourself afresh to His will and His kingdom. May He bless you as you say,"yes" to Him and go out in faith for the furtherance of His glorious gospel. May He be glorified and may His name and Kingdom be furthered!

*I am grateful for you all and am thankful for the many prayers! Lets dedicate ourselves to Him afresh and love Him with everything that we posses! "...love the Lord Your God with all your heart, and with all your mind, and with all you soul... love your neighbor as yourself." - Jesus (*Matt. 22:37-40)

Sincerly,
In Jesus Christ,
Aaron Bradley
