Greetings from Phenom Penh - Reaching The Unreached

Greetings from Phenom Penh, Cambodia in the name of Jesus! As this trip is coming to a close, it has been such a privelage to see what God is doing here in unreached Cambodia ( *about 2% of 14 million reached) and to see God hand working. For example: when Dting's father was sick and couldn't get out of bed, two precious Cambodian believers Som and Rattana prayed for him and he began to walk around the following day and began to belive in Jesus...

Praise Jesus. I've been to see Gods hand working powerfully in eastern Cambodia as God has raised up 6 house churches through a man my age (Joel). I have covered much ground and I am headed south to spend the last couple of days praying and reflecting.

*I am looking forward to seeing you all and telling you more, upon my return!

Please Pray:

1) To Be In Love With Jesus.
2) The Stronghold Of Buddism Would Be Torn Down.
3) Be Lead By The Spirit Of God.

In Jesus,

Aaron Bradley - Romans 15:20 "...I have made it my aim to preach the gospel not where Christ was named...

I'm here in Poipet, Cambodia on the boarder to Thailand...

I love you guys to start off! I'm well, how are you?

I'm here in Poipet, Cambodia on the boarder to Thailand and it is exciting for me to spend time at the orphanage here at Mercy Ministry Foundation (Rose Martinez's ministry/HSE Alumni). Today I joined the staff meeting and prayed with them and mentioned I turned 25 today, well after dinner they told me they wanted to show me something and I figured the kids were going to do a christmas song or skit but they prepared a surprise birthday party for me, what a blessing!

This evening I met this church planter Joel from whos reaching the unreached, he's a really neat guyJesus and I'm totally into what he's doing. PlLEASE PRAY for David who oversees the orphanage here, he is very sick and is planning to go to Bangkok for medical attention. THhank You! Jesus Bless You!!!

Please PRAY for me:

1) Be in Love with Jesus
2) Led By The Holy Spirit/Hear Him Clearly.
3) Spiritual Stronghold Broken in Orphans.
4) Gods Heart For Cambodia.

In Jesus,
Aaron Bradley

Cambodia Mission Trip Updates

Cambodia Mission Trip Updates
11/29/07 - 12/1/07

Friends and Family of Aaron Bradley,

Thank you for your patience in receiving this email update about Aaron's adventures in Cambodia. We will try to make it short but also include all the amazing stories of God's guidance.

11/29/07
The morning of Aaronís flight from LAX he and a few others stopped at Denny's for breakfast. Aaron was sharing the love of Christ with the cashier and he says that "many waiters and waitresses came to listen and I got to share the gospel with many."

Aaron realized at LAX that his ticket was for 12:30am not 12:30pm. Because of this misunderstanding God used Aaron to minister to a man named Wayne. Aaron says "We talked with him and prayed with him and the Holy Spirit touched him and he was in tears...it was beautiful to see my plans put to the side and to watch God touch this mans life."

Aaron was told by the ticket counter that there was room for him on a present flight. He sat next to a Vietnamese Christian woman; she has a Buddhist friend with a 26year old son dying of cancer (please pray for his healing). Before exiting the plane in South Korea the Christian woman gave Aaron some money that, unbeknownst to him, was the exact amount for that evenings stay in a hotel room. The next evening Aaron flew out for Cambodia.

12/01/07
Aaron writes Praise the Lord; He is awesome and faithful! He has been able to meet up with many contacts including a woman, Nora, from the Philippines. She has been laboring in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for almost 14 years. Aaron asks that you join him in praying for her. That she would ìbe refreshed anew by His love and filled with the Power of the Holy Spiritî. Nora invited Aaron to preach that next Sunday. Aaron was also trying to meet up with another contact, Samuth.

Another update will be sent out next week. Please do not respond to this email. If you have questions or want to be removed from this email list please respond to Jennifer at jrussell@horizonsd.org.

Thanks and God Bless!

Answered Prayer

I just moved to mission bay on Monday 9/3. Over the last few months I prayed for a rent free place to live- to save for my mission trip to Cambodia. Last month I went golfing with a friend Manny and his friend Micheal joined us. After we were finished golfing I went to the parking lot to say goodbye to Micheal, as I wished him off at his car he told me how God had spoke to him while we were golfing- to open up his house to help people. He gave me his card and the rest is history! Praise Jesus!!! ...Huh He's faithful...
1) I want to encourage you to engage God in prayer.
2) I also want to encourage you to take steps of faith, God will
meet your needs.

"And my God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." -Phil. 4:19

God's presence at the Cambodian Prayer Dinner was a blessing

The Cambodian Prayer Dinner was AWESOME!!!

God answered 2 prayer reguests of mine: 1) I asked that God's loving, powerful presence would bless the people that came.
2) I asked that I would speak God's heart.
God answered both! It was awesome...because He is awesome!!!

-The night went something like this. I arrived around 4:45pm at Mr. Bon's restaurant and grill, we set up at 5:30. My friend Jesse showed at 6:00pm and we walked and prayed together for the night. People started to arrive at 6:30pm and everyone hung out and talked. around 7pm I thanked people for coming, dinner was served at 7:30pm. After dinner we worshipped our King Jesus!!! I shared my heart about the people of Cambodia, the vision God has shared with me, and I gave people an opportunity to get involved in the great commission. Dave Izor spoke for a couple minutes out of the Word and prayed. We got together at our tables and prayed for the 9 prayer requests on my prayer letter, while Jesse did worship music in the background, my friend Dariea,Gary, and David prayed for me and God spoke into my life through them! I closed the night in prayer and thanked everyone again for coming. People hung out and mingled till about 11pm. It was AWSOME!!! God was thick in that place (His presence was Awesome!!!)

Scripture For Today 8/10/07

Proverbs 30:5 says, "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in him."


commentary: Dear friend as we look at this verse we see that every single word from God is pure, perfect, trustworthy, holy, good, right, solid... oh how easily we forget that God is the ONLY one that is completely trustworthy! Stop and think about it, God has never told a lie!We put so much trust in our friends, some have lied hundreds of times. How do we value their word compared to God's? Cannot we trust God who does not lie? Friend lets examine our hearts now. Are we trusting God who feeds us, cloths us and ultimately sent Jesus to the cross so we can be foriven our sin. Today God loves you so much and He desires for you to whole heartedly put your trust afresh in Him . Lets allow Him to protect us today as we trust in Him!

The Unreached

Romans 15:20 says "I make it my aim to preach the gospel not where Christ was named lest I should build on another mans foundation."



-Here Apostle Paul is telling us that his aim or target was to preach/reach the people who haven't heard the gospel of Jesus Christ yet. I love it! I get a picture of an arrow aimed towards a specific target. 2.65 billion people... about a third of the population in the world are unreached. Just think about it, there are people out there like you and me who haven't gotten to hear Jesus name even once! There is a huge need... if the Lord Jesus is calling you to go... will you go? If the Lord Jesus is calling you to stay and support in
(prayer, finances, logistics, communication, re-entry, moral support...to name a few *see Great Comission article for more info.) Will you support as sender?
I would seriously ask you to stop what your doing and now... ask God what He would have you to do to... what part do you play in the Great Commission ( Jesus- "Go... and make disciples of all the nations...")? Now the really key question is what are you going to do about it now?

Learning Cambodian & An Answered Prayer

Hey everybody! I just had my 3rd Cambodian lesson today with Sok Leap a native Cambodian from the the Capitol of Phenom Phen. Over a month ago my friend Chris talked to a christian restaurant owner, Sang who is from Loas, but born in Cambodia. Chris got his phone number and gave it to me. I called him and I met with him that day and shared my heart to reach the people of Cambodia through itinerant preaching. It was a special time, we prayed for each other and the Lord deeply touched Sangs heart he began weeping...it so touched my heart to hear the rejoicing in Sang-that God is sending someone to poeple who need the Gospel. As we prayed for each other and the Spirit of the Lord was powerfully in our midst. Before I left the meeting that day Sang gave me a missionaries phone number, who I called and he gave me some contacts in Cambodia...PRAISE GOD! Sang also gave me one of his employees phone number Sok Leap- who is teaching me Cambodian...it is such a blessing! As I venture to go to Cambodia with the Lord Jesus pray that I could speak the language supernaturally! I am so happy to know where the Lord Jesus wants me to labor for Him! To know is such an answer to prayer, I had been praying about it for the past few years! PRAISE JESUS!!!

The Great Commission

Matthew 28:19,20 "Go there fore and make disiples of all the nations..."



--- How to get involved with the great commission ---

Not everyone can go on the mission field...maybe you'd like to go but you just can't. You can pray about being apart of the Great Commission by being apart of a support team for a missionary, it's not just money thats needed! You are a part of the Body of Christ and you are important and needed! There are six main parts of a team : Logistics- phone calls, arrangements, emails, ect. Prayer- prayer team is of upmost importance! If you pray your qualified! Communication- team contact, helps with communicating to Church/supporters (prayer letters) , ect. Financial- Giving financially, or one who voices the missionaries needs
Moral- encouraging letters, emails, phone calls, puts together care packages, ect. Re-entry -- the whole team come around the missionary when he returns/furlough to give support as missionary may be dealing with culture shock, ect/ (see Serving as Senders ch.7 pg.135)

As the Lord has called me to minister to the people of Cambodia. I am prayerfully gathering a support team, if you sense God is tugging on your heart to "be apart of the Great Commission" Pray about joining my team and what part of the team you would serve in. Feel free to contact me anytime: Jesus_diedand_roseagain@yahoo.com or (858)717-3510
or leave a message on "comments"

*I am currently planning a support meeting for the end of September. I will keep you posted.

Whats God's will for my life?

I beleive it is two fold:
1) according to John 15:8 "bear much fruit" or build God's kingdom.
2)according to Mark 3:14 "that they might be with him" to simply get to know God in a pure intimate romantic relationship.



-Seek Him today "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness..."

Scripture for today 8/7/07

Hebrews 12-two "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith- who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of god"

commentary- Are focus needs to be gazing/fixed on jesus...walking in the Spirit by faith. You don't have to worry about you doing this or you getting that done because Jesus started it and
He's going to finish it. Dear Christian be ready to suffer as our
Lord and Master gave us a divine example. Will you serve someone today,will you not eat out today to support a missionary, will you look for opportunities to speak truth into peoples lives, will you... What is God speaking to you... Be encouraged,set aside sin that weighs you down today and BE with your Father who wants to reveal His intimate heart with you and fill you so full of love that it runs over in every part of your life.
"Its not about doing but being with Him"

How are you doing today?

How are you doing today? How can I pray for you!

About the country of Cambodia

Cambodia is a country in south east asia, neighbored by Vietnam, Loas, and Thaiand. The population is an estimated 14 million people, less than 5% are reached for Jesus. The average education level is 3rd grade and roughly 1/2 of the population is under the age of 25. The average income is 300 dollars a year, the country is the size of the state of Washington. The capitol city is Phenom phen, most of Cambodias missionaries minister in the capitol. During the communist reign of pol pot in 1975-1979 two-three million people were killed. All previous goverment workers were executed, anyone of intelligence was killed, many people starved to death, the country was forced to work the field to yeild crop in return to support the communist war. Many people endured being seperated from there family, having family members starve to death, having family executed, being forced to become communist soliders, being forced to work in labor camps. This country has fresh wounds, it was just over 30 years ago that this nation was rocked with dispare, hopelessness, tragedy, and so much death. The national religion is thereavada buddhism, in short leaves one with no real hope and is works based. This country has a desperate need for the gospel Jesus Christ! Millions have not even had the chance to hear Jesus name ONCE! Romans 15:20 "I make it my aim not to preach the gospel where Christ was named unless I should build on another mans foundation" Please pray for laborers to go and work the harvest cause its ripe!

Fruit sharing-- garage sale

Thanks to the Lord Jesus, the garage sale on 8/12 was awesome! Many things were sold, money was raised for the trip to Cambodia, and people were ministered too! One short testimony: one woman was looking around at things as I was talking to her, each time she would bend down to look at something she would grab her back and exclaim her back was hurting,I could see she was in extreme pain. As we kept talking she bought a couple things. I knew she was a christian because I could sense the Spirit in her. I asked her is she was a christian and she said "yes". I was able to pray for her back and ask the Lord to graciously touch her back and heal it. We finished praying and she drove away. I look back and thank God for that women... 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! Thank you for your prayers because it wouldn't have been fruitful without them!

Preparation for trip to Cambodia

I am in preparation for a trip to Cambodia this December for one month. Cambodia is a country torn from war, oppresion, and mass genocide. A country that is considered unreached (seejoshuaproject.com) out of 14 million people less than 5% 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 desperatly need Jesus!

As of today I am about 3 and 1/2 months from my departure. There are many things I am praying for and I welcome you to pray with me, here are some things to pray for:
1)to know the heart of God/ for Cambodia
2)To be full of the Holy Spirit/ led by the Spirit
3)Build relationships with contacts & Cambodians
4)A traveling partner/ VISA
5)Finances needed- $2,307
6)A heart of intercession for the people
7)For a ministry support team stateside-- logistical, communication, prayer, financial, moral, and re-entry.
9) I'm in the process of applying for missionary status
10) Backpacking backpack, digital camera,

I am excited as I'm stepping into the next chapter of my walk with Jesus! I welcome you to be apart of what God is dooing in my life!

*stay posted I am planning a support meeting for the end of September.
