Only God Can make the Useless, Useful
Mdm. Elena Valiente
God is a God of creativity. Everything and everybody that He created has each and their own uniqueness and purpose. So no matter how we were designed and sculpted, our existence in this world is not an accident. For long before we were conceived by our parents we were conceived in the mind of God. In view of my life testimony, I was born physically defective, single handed to be specific. This made me think that I’m absolutely useless but I found out that I’m absolutely wrong when God brought me into the right place of knowing myself an discovering God’s purpose to me. After six years of ignoring God’s call, I finally enrolled In Mission Motivators – school of Missions by the year 2004. Within the three and a half months of training I can’t explain the difficulties and endurance I went through. It seems it was a Calvary to me. The easy life and the years of enjoying my comfort zone were gone, now I have to face and endure my most discomfort zone. Let me mention some of my most struggles, of course, that’s concerned to my physical thing, washing my clothes, doing my routinary works with my only one hand is a very hard thing for me to do. Besides I was a “spoiled brat” and I don’t know anything than to eat and sleep. I was pampered and nursed since my childhood but now I have to take care of myself and do everything because nobody will do for me. Nevertheless, I knew that my tears, patient and endurance in this training will bring me somewhere. After my graduation In the same year, God fulfilled one of His plan for me. He made me one of the staff of my beloved Alma matter, which is a very wonderful privilege. Being a staff is indeed the continuation of my training of God’s greater plan to me. The school had given me the privilege to work in some areas such as teaching , preaching and to continue my worship leading ministry. Truly, by the grace of God and because of how my school lovingly motivates and encouraged me, I was able to overcome my fear to stand in front of people. And I just thank God for molding me and using me now. Now I know, I was not born to be served but born to be a servant. Useful and not useless in the kingdom of God. Glory to God alone!

Cambodia Mission News 2007
The Cambodia Mission expresses profound gratitude to our Mission Partners and Sponsors for constant partnership and unfading commitment for the sake of Christ. Every sacrifice you make through giving and prayers opens golden opportunities for the dying “unbelievers” to hear the Gospel message. In Siem Reap Mission Base, spiritual son was born after all periods of travail by Bro. Mark. Glory to our awesome God! His 3Ms Ministry (Monks, Muslim, and Military Hospital) provides a way for these people to experience salvation in their lives. In Kampong Thom Mission Base, the first House Church in Somraong Village (one of our village outreaches) was born through our house-to-house evangelism, teaching English and Bible. In addition, another Bible study to a family in one of our village outreaches is also started. On the other hand, the Church building permit was granted and the Church building is soon to rise in God’s sweet time. In Svay Reing Mission Base, aside from their ministries in their home base, new evangelism ministry through teaching English in their nearby village has opened. God bless the youth and children! Our utmost for the Highest!
