The Khmer Khronicle

From Global Lutheran Outreach missionarie Sharolyn Frahm (Serving in Cambodia)

It has been a long year. For many it has been a longer, almost two year stretch, into a new norm. I can raise my hand on that one.

Maybe it is time for me to rejoice in the ‘years’. rejoice, and be glad in it. May we all embrace this wondrous Jesus season.

Each day I am able to wake up and praise God for another day in His world to be His hands and feet. Some days it’s not been easy, and some days I think I’ve not done as good as I should have, but I know God’s grace reigns in my world.

Each Christmas I am reminded of the best Christmas gift of all that I have been given…Thank you Father.

And also that none of this may never have happened to me if God had not given me a husband who loved me like God himself does, and because of these two, I am forever His.

May you have a blessed ‘Jesus’ birthday Christmas…because of this one day each of us is earmarked.

Love, Shary .., and George who proofreads this in heaven.

Update Cambodia
This past week we were able to get a strong internet signal for over an hour, giving us some wonderful time to talk about life in general, ministry in Siem Reap, and some new goals going into 2022.

Cambodia now has open borders with no testing requirements prior to arrival for all those who have been vaccinated. Surrounding countries are not all on the same page as yet.

2022 will soon be ringing in as a new year for each of us. A clean slate, a new agenda, and at this point an empty calendar to start with. As we each ponder how this new year will be wrapped up, spread out, and used day by day, I pray each one of us is doing just that…to take time to listen to what God would have in store for us in our daily lives in service to Him.

For me, the tug and nudge to return to Cambodia is paramount, God willing of course. When we left the last time from Siem Reap, the ministry platform was growing by leaps and bounds.

Remember these young adults are the largest percentage of Khmer out there these days. These kids have not known the ravages of war nor displacement, and have grown up with at least some food in their bellies. Now many are searching for, and many have found, is that Jesus yearns to be solidly set in each heart.
Praise God for each and every soul who accepts the offer of salvation in that life journey.

As I write this today, George has been wearing his heavenly crown for over five months already. In his physical absence here, I am forever grateful for the hands and feet of church members and family and friends who have stepped forward into areas they knew better than I did. Even more so, the three adult kiddos and their families have encircled me tightly with their love, patience, and guidance in so many situations. So blessed *_*.
