He is a Survivor of a “real life concentration camp” in his home country of Cambodia. His father was killed in front of him. He was separated from his mother and family at 6 years old. He was placed in a work camp and fed once a day. He escaped at 10 years old on foot, and eventually, he found his mother at a special meeting place. Years later his family was able to move to Memphis, TN. Reading a Cambodian Bible he was taught John 3:16.

For God, so loved the whole world. He thought Jesus Christ was the God for the white folks. He realized Jesus died for him and his people, and the whole world. “Why do they (Christians) love my people. Why do they love like they do? I want to be like that.” “For God so loved the WHOLE world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Partner where God is already working. “Quit looking for one and be one.” This means quit looking for someone else to stand in the gap. We discuss 2 ways you can change a child’s life. For whom will you take personal responsibility? We are challenged as Christians, to stand up and be willing to help a child.

Help us snatch these kids out of the fire.

“keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We invite you to a new segment of the podcast called “The Board Meeting.” The Board meeting of a family keeps you and your family working as one unit for God’s mission. Today we talk about showing your family how to “do your best and be a leader” every day. Come join us at the Board Meeting.

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A move to a different apartment complex. A knock on his door. An invite to church. God took an 8 year old boy and elevated him physically, emotionally and spiritually. Now look at Maurice. He is a warrior for Christ, seeking to bring other kids and adults into the family as well. He is now mentoring the next generation.

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭20‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Look behind this bubbly, funny, beautiful person and see a lady who has had extreme personal trauma and who walks with a limp. See someone who was doing personal fitness and whom God stopped in her tracks and changed her focus. She says, “I took a hard pivot to lead with my faith.”

She humbly acknowledges that she was looking for “validation in my accomplishments.”Listen to how she allowed God to tear down the walls she put up, be vulnerable, and share her story. She allowed God to take away her shame. Now, her focus and enthusiasm is on fire!

Don’t be afraid to use your voice for God’s Kingdom. “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Because of a school who spoke about Jesus Christ. Because of an invite to church from a friend. Because of a Bible teacher at Hillcrest Christian School. Because of a spiritual emphasis week and weekly chapel. Because of a Band Director. Because of a strong youth pastor…. An 8th grader came to faith in Jesus Christ and now is called to be a worship pastor.

“God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬

At the Abide Women’s conference I share some of my family story of “walking with a limp” and how God grew my faith through struggles. He said “no” to taking away my difficulties and taught me to say “yes” to His better plan.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Thankful to Lindsey Epperson and Camryn Mitchell Harrison for this wonderful Abide Women’s conference
