In Case You Missed It!

If you missed it, take the time to listen to Rev. Bruinsma’s New Year’s Day message called Making a Stand. As we start this new year, this sermon gives a wonderful reminder about taking a stand and having confidence in our faith. Rev. Bruinsma expounds on the story of David and Golliath and we are reminded to be steadfast and unmovable in our faith, always abounding in the work of the Lord. We are exhorted to do this in four ways:

  1. Do not join the world in its unbelief.
  2. Do not lay down your weapons and surrender to the wicked.
  3. Do not cower before the wicked even when they slander or abuse us.
  4. Do make a stand! Be steadfast and unmovable, God will give us the victory, we can be assured!

Believe! Victory is ours! We can go forth this year with boldness and confidence that God will give us what is necessary to stand in this world, in faith. Listen to this message on reformedwitnesshour.org by searching key words: Making a Stand.

Cambodia
Did you notice in our recent newsletters that Cambodia has been in the top five countries with the most RWH message downloads every month so far this year? That means you are supporting people in Cambodia who are deliberately seeking out, downloading, and listening to RWH messages. We believe Christ has His church in every nation, tribe, and tongue, help us reach them! Please continue to support RWH by listening, telling others about use, financially and with prayer!

What Do You Know About Cambodia?
The Kingdom of Cambodia is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochinese Peninsula in Southeast Asia. The major religion of Cambodia was Theravada Buddhism which holds closely to original Buddhist doctrines. During the reign of Khmers Rouges (a communist movement) from 1975-80, religious practice was forbidden. Theravada was encouraged again after 1980 but has had little growth. Minority religions include Mahayana Buddhism, Roman Catholicism, Cao Dai and Muslim. Recently, several urban Cambodians (Khmer) have converted to Evangelical Protestantism.
