I was raised in a strong Buddhist family so I don’t know anything about Jesus Christ until a Filipino Missionary, Ptr. Perlito Gatmen and my friend Sun Sokun shared to me about Him who is a Savior and Lord. I received Jesus into my life in 2003. In 2006, God brings desire in my heart to study in Cambodia Bible Institute for two years church planting course. I came to know Him better through that school yet there was a conviction in me to study further in a mission school. In May 2008, Bro Sokun and I went to Mission Motivators School of Mission Philippines for mission training. Before going to Mission Training is not an easy way for we have encountered discouraging moments during our preparations, flights and financial needs. But God brought us victory after all. God is really great! Praise God that through Mission Training School, I experience “brokenness” to my self. I also learned to get up as early as 4:00 in the morning just to intercede to others and talk to God. I also experienced for the first time writing book report even though I am having hard time in my English writing and speaking. I was disciplined physically, emotionally and spiritually. Consequently, I’ve learned more on dying to myself, carry my cross and follow him. I enjoyed the ministries together with our director, the staffs and my fellow students. We did many different ministries like campus, hospital, children ministries, crusades, church planting, Bible studies and most of all ministering to the Muslims during our mission exposure. The Lord taught me to depend on Him, even when there is no money in my pocket. He used this school as instrument for me to love and reach out the lost souls. Thanks for Mission Motivators for being an instrument and most of all to our Father up above who called each one to continue the unfinished task. God bless you! Bro. Brak Sophea
That is a most inspiring and encouraging testimony and I am so blessed that Jesus Christ has become real in your life Brother Sophea. Confession and what comes out of your mouth every minute of the day is so important to monitor and ask the Lord to allow us to utter words of light and affirmation. Daily, I read a list of 50 confessions all of them based on Biblical verses, and as a result my life has been transformed in every area. For years I suffered because I uttered words that were not in keeping with God’s Will for my life, words like: “I have no money” or “I cannot afford it….”. Instead I have replaced these words with this confession:
“Money, real estate, property, and great wealth are attracted to me, and I get the best deals always!”
It is amazing how the above confession has changed my life and it will do the same for you. Everything we have in our possession belongs to God, it is all His, and I am convinced He wants us blessed to be a blessing to many in our midst.
The Lord Bless you and your family richly!
Love In Christ,
