Brief Update - April to May 2009 - "Prayer I Believe Is The Greater Work"

Dear Friends and Co-laborer in Jesus Christ!

We are excited to share with you briefly what were doing and what were going to be up to before we come back to San Diego, CA in a month. Elijah and I will each share a few words in this brief update. Are prayer is that He will encourage, strengthen, and inspire you to continue hard in your pursuit after the Lord Jesus Christ through this brief update. We are thankful for you all and we are so thankful for the incessant prayers of so many of you who lift us up and we can feel and sense those prayers!

"I want to extend my greetings to you with the joy of the Holy Spirit! I pray things are well with you as they are with Elijah and I. We are finishing up our khmer language studies and are saying goodbyes to friends here in the capital of Cambodia as well as the Preah Vihear Province. We are inspired by the Holy Spirit to "finish strong" this last month before our return to California. We are looking forward to spending extended time in Northern Cambodia, Preah Vihear Province in a little town called Kuleen and Tbeang Meanchey where we will be making preparations in Kuleen to return late 2009/early 2010. We appreciate all your dearly desired prayers and thank you for your generous gifts. Jesus Bless You all. We invite you to continue to pray with us and watch Him advance His kingdom in Cambodia and beyond! All respect, adoration, and credit goes to the One sitting on the throne - our God!"

In Jesus Christ

*Thankful to God for His tender mercy! 'We were ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, decieved, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared... according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit... through Jesus Christ our Savior.' 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

"And this is eternal, that they may know You the One and only true God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." John 17:3


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.

a. Please target Kuleen Preah Vihear Province, Northern Cambodia in your prayers and
3b. Ask God to Open the Cambodian peoples Hearts to Jesus Christ.

We pray that you will grow tremendously in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Can I also say, continue to trust Him! Oh and a fitting reminder to worship the King with a heart of adoration flowing from greatfulness for His mercy shown to us! Well a final word to continue, persevere, fight, run, keep going ,and keep trusting Him who is faithful even when we are faithless by the empowering of His Spirit. Amen. See you all soon!
