Clothed with Compassion BY JULIA O’CAREY & JOHN PRESS
“Y
ou’re on your own now.” As the shock of their father’s words wore off, reality set in for Sok Chea and his seven older siblings. Their mother had died five years ago. Now, their newly remarried father
had informed them that he would not support them anymore. Suddenly, they were alone. Orphaned. The siblings vowed to stay together and take care of each other, but they struggled to make ends meet. Eventually, Sok Chea and four of his siblings moved to Phnom Penh, hoping to fare better in the city, where there were more opportunities. But instead they found more heartbreak. Feeling pressure to provide for the younger children, Sok Chea’s oldest sister got married. It didn’t last, but the failed union left her with two young children of her own to care for, in addition to her four brothers

and sisters. She began working as a street vendor. Another of Sok Chea’s sisters found work at a factory, and one of his brother’s began working as a tuk tuk driver. Their combined income provided for their food, the $55 monthly rent for the small room that the seven of them shared, plus $20 per month for water and electricity. However, sending Sok Chea to school was out of the question. His family simply could not afford the informal fees collected by the teachers at the government schools.
Then, they learned about the ASAP-supported Chamroeun Phal Adventist School (CPAS) in Phnom Penh, which serves the children of poor and at-risk families like Sok Chea’s. At the age of nine, Sok Chea could not read and had never set foot in a classroom, but the staff had compassion on the boy and allowed him to enroll in kindergarten. He proved an eager learner, and within months he had progressed to first grade.
little time to study, his grades suffered, and he grew discouraged. But then Sok Chea remembered something he had learned in school.
Last November, Sok Chea, now 14 years old, entered his final year at CPAS. But as the economic fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded in Phnom Penh, it hit families like Sok Chea’s especially hard. His sister’s sales suffered. Lockdowns shuttered factories, such as the one where his other sister worked, and left few passengers for tuk tuk drivers like his brother. Sok Chea began missing class and working from morning until evening, helping his sister at the market. With
With his family facing financial difficulties and his graduation in jeopardy, Sok Chea turned to God again. “I found a quiet place and prayed alone day and night to Jesus Christ, asking Him to have mercy on us and help my family.” God heard Sok Chea’s prayer. Customers began flocking to buy his sister’s food at the market. As her sales picked up, Sok Chea returned to CPAS, and by God’s grace he will graduate later this year.
“When I was in the third grade, one of my friends was struggling in school. The teacher asked each student to pray for him,” he recalls. “As we prayed, his grades improved, and at the end of the year he passed his final exams. It was a miracle of God!”
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you” (Is. 49:15).

Now, though, Sok Chea has a new prayer request. “I wish to continue my studies,” he shares. “And I want to go to a school that will teach God’s Word, in particular. I want to learn more about Him and get to know Him better. Please pray for me in this plan, and continue to pray for my family, too.”
Campaign, we ask you to commit a special gift to three key projects helping these children and their families (see sidebar). Already God has blessed this campaign with $100,000 in matching gifts toward our $200,000 goal! Thank you for adding your love gifts and prayers to the Compassion Campaign.
Over the years, we have seen promising students like Sok Chea come to our schools hopeless, with no aspirations, and leave full of faith in Jesus. We also know the impact of poverty on their lives and how difficult it is for them to maintain their newfound Christian faith in their Buddhist communities. Spirit-filled ASAP teachers, clothed with “… compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience” (Col. 3:12, NRSV), are often the decisive influence in these young people’s decisions for Christ. We pray for and value each of the 5,000 children in the nearly 100 schools that ASAP supports. God sees each one, and Matthew 10:29-31 reveals the Father’s compassionate heart towards His precious children. “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows” (KJV). We know the mountain-sized responsibility of supporting so many students is one that only God can provide for. During our fiscal year-end Compassion

The Compassion Campaign at a Glance ASAP is praying for $200,000 before our fiscal year ends to fund three special projects extending the compassionate love of Jesus to the poor and unreached in Southeast Asia. Learn more about each project below and meet some of those who will be blessed by your gifts. Five generous donors will match the first $100,000 in donations to the Compassion Campaign, dollar for dollar! To support the campaign, give online at asapministries.org/compassion/donate, call 269-471-3026, or mail your gift in the envelope provided. Donations must be postmarked by September 30 to qualify for matching funds. PROJECT #1: Education in Cambodia ASAP schools in Cambodia serve as a critical lifeline for at-risk students like 12-year-old Tailov. When her father abandoned her family and her mother became gravely ill, this young Buddhist girl had to drop out of school to care for her two younger sisters. But Tailov’s teachers and classmates at the ASAP-supported Takong Adventist School rallied around her and encouraged her to trust in God. Their love and prayers made all the difference for Tailov and her family. Scan the QR code to hear more of her testimony.
PROJECT #2: Total Member Involvement Initiative ASAP, ADRA, and the Cambodia Adventist Mission are partnering on a Total Member Involvement initiative equipping local church members to serve their communities. The initiative has delivered urgent health education, vocational training, and emergency food assistance to Buddhist families in crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, new mothers like ChanDy have received baby care packages and instruction in breastfeeding and infant care. “My family and I were very joyful because we are poor and cannot afford these things,” says ChanDy. “We are so thankful for the love of Jesus shown to us by (project volunteer) Mrs. Sophal.”
PROJECT #3: Making Missionaries Program Ten-year-old Chanminear has a heart for service. Raised in an Adventist home, she attends fifth grade at ASAP’s Samraong Adventist School in Cambodia. After she graduates next year, she dreams of continuing her education at an Adventist school and becoming a doctor or medical missionary. (Watch more of Chanminear’s story in an upcoming episode of Mission Matters.) However, opportunities for Adventist education beyond primary school are limited in many Southeast Asian countries. ASAP recently launched the Making Missionaries program to help promising young people like Chanminear continue their studies at Adventist schools while receiving mentoring and opportunities to prepare them for future service as ASAP missionaries.

A Sacrificial Gift BY LAURA HOKANSON
R
ing, ring, ring. “Hi, this is Taylor,” a chipper voice responded to my call. “Hi Taylor, I’m Laura Hokanson from ASAP Ministries. I’m calling to tell you that we are praising the Lord for how He has
blessed us through your gift to missions.” Pleasantries followed as I updated Taylor on current ASAP projects and heard more of her story. She was still in college, working full time and involved in local church ministry, and had plans to leave on a 9-10 month short term mission trip to Thailand with another mission organization in the fall. Her story bubbled out with a contagious enthusiasm. As I listened, a question loomed in my mind and uncharacteristically burst from my mouth.
E Han Zaw Thein (below), an ASAP medical
“Taylor, you are a young person, saving up for your own misspecial gift from Jake and Taylor (above). sion trip; where did you get this amount of money for a donation this size?” missionary in Myanmar, is supported by a
Laughter accompanied the reply, “Oh! I’m recently engaged!” Her answer only left me more baffled as wedding costs began adding up in my head. “My fiancé and I decided that since we weren’t going to purchase wedding rings, we would give the money to missions instead.” I was speechless. At ASAP, stories of self-sacrifice are not uncommon. Daily we hear reports from the overseas mission field of Bible workers imprisoned for sharing the gospel, medical missionaries risking their own safety to work in war-torn areas, lay pastors living in poverty stricken conditions to stay near their congregations, even when 6
they have opportunities to move elsewhere. One medical missionary, Han Zaw Thein,* recently reported how military forces began conducting nighttime raids in her village, arresting anyone they suspected of leading anti-military efforts. Her husband, along with other community leaders, fled for their lives during these raids. Despite living in such fear, she and her husband continue to minister in this community. Last year, five souls were baptized due to their efforts. This year, in addition to her regular health ministry, sharing produce from her garden, teaching natural remedies and healthy Bible-based lifestyle habits, she plans to start a Vacation Bible School. She is praying for five more souls to make a decision for Christ in the coming year. It seems fitting that Han Zaw Thein’s dedicated service is supported by a self-sacrificing financial gift of love from Taylor and her fiancé, Jake. It turned out that Jake has a heart for missions equal to Taylor’s. “If you’re not called to go,” he said, “you’re called to give.” Neither Jake nor Taylor were raised as Seventh-day Adventist Christians. Both were brought closer to Jesus by laypeople sharing their faith. Now they are active in their local congregation. Reflecting on how others have touched her life through personal ministry, Taylor said, “I want to do that for other people, too.”
An Outpouring of Love for Myanmar BY JULIA O’CAREY
T
he Lord amazed us with your tremendous response to the urgent, heartbreaking needs of your brothers and sisters in Christ, following the recent coup and Covid-19 outbreaks in Myanmar.
Here are just a few examples of the many creative, generous ways He impressed you to respond and provide desperately needed humanitarian support. Due to lack of space, I can’t thank each one of you by name, but Jesus made note of your loving sacrifices in heaven! My prayer partner and I were interceding for the situation in Myanmar and the Holy Spirit impressed her to send $10,000. Unbeknownst to her, this was just the amount we needed beyond what ASAP had on hand to supply an urgent need in the Upper Myanmar Mission. Praise the Lord! The Friends of Refugees Committee, a group of passionate individuals who are working to streamline the Adventist response to refugee needs, felt impressed to fundraise $10,000 for food distribution to displaced people in Yangon Adventist Mission. This was another absolute answer to prayer. Joi and Jade McClellan, two musically talented sisters, inspired their friends to join them in a benefit concert for Myanmar, titled “One More Piece.” In one night, they raised over $2,500, which provided aid for the families of students at ASAP schools in the Southeast Mission, in the Karen State, which has been impacted by air raids and heavy fighting. Karen refugees in North America also joined together to respond to the suffering of their people. It moved me to see the amount of funds that poured in from this community, where many struggle to keep food on their own tables. God blessed their sacrifices, and ASAP was able to send $55,000 in humanitarian aid to the Karen on the Thai-Myanmar border. Altogether, ASAP has
sent more than $133,000 to help those affected by the multiple crises in Myanmar this year. All of these efforts and your individual gifts were preceded by much prayer, including a special effort organized by 24/7 United Prayer, a ministry supported by ASAP that seeks to initiate an unbroken global chain of united prayer and revival. We teamed up with Music Verse, a new ministry, to lead “1 Mind 4 Myanmar,” a 24-hour prayer session that also featured inspirational music throughout. Here is what one participant named Nandar shared after the event. “I am a Burmese. I always pray for my country every day but it becomes just a normal prayer for me since I am out of the country right now. But after I joined this meeting, I was so touched with your prayers. I appreciate all your care. I felt like I was in heaven. Thank you so much for your earnest prayers and uplifting songs for my country. I want to add one more thing. After hearing someone praying for the military soldiers, I am speechless. We just hate them for what they have done to the people. But we forget to pray for them, too. Thank you for reminding me to love the unlovable. Please keep praying for us.” H Joi and Jade McClellan (first row, at left, and second row, at left) and friends organized a benefit concert for humanitarian aid to Myanmar.

Your Gifts in Action BY JOHN PRESS
J
esus commanded His disciples, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14). Over the years, the heartfelt prayers and sacrificial
giving of ASAP donors have made it possible for thousands of little ones to come to Jesus. Here are just a few of the ways that your gifts are blessing the children of Southeast Asia today.
Education for Syrian and Kurdish Refugees With support from donors like you, ASAP is sponsoring two classrooms and a Bible worker at the Adventist Learning Community (ALC) in Lebanon, which serves the children of Syrian and Kurdish refugee families. Amid the chaos of multiple economic and political crises, God continues to bless the work of ALC. “One of the greatest joys of the past six months were the six baptisms that were held,” reports the center’s director. “Two of the families baptized were a direct result of the Kurdish work that a parent of one of ALC’s graduates has been doing for the past three years.” A student from the ASAP-sponsored sixth grade class and both of her parents were among those baptized.

My Bible First Lessons For years, Vietnamese and Khmer-speaking children like the two little girls pictured at right have enjoyed learning about Jesus through My Bible First Sabbath School quarterlies translated into their own languages. This year, with your support, these lesson booklets are being translated and printed in Hmong and Lao for the first time! “It is so exciting to see the kids using the new quarterlies,” reports the project leader in Laos. “One mother told me how her son is reading his Sabbath school lesson to her each day. He is enjoying the lessons.”
Clean Water for the Padelglaw School “Whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward,” Jesus says in Matthew 10:42. Through your gifts, the children at the Padelgaw School in Myanmar’s Kayin (Karen) State have received not just a cup of cold water, but a brand new well! “We are very happy to get this well,” reports Elijah Win,* ASAP’s field supervisor in the region. “In the past, every summer we had water problems. Now that the school has an artesian well, we have good drinking water for the school and the community. People will be healthier, and they will not have to travel so far to get water. By meeting this need, we have shown them the love of Christ, and it will open many hearts to accepting Him as their Savior.”
Emergency Food Assistance for Poor Families Pu Kreng is one of the poorest villages in northwestern Cambodia. Located more than 20 miles from the nearest town, the village has no electricity and can only be accessed by a road that becomes impassable during heavy rains. Recently, when the village’s well stopped working, the villagers and their children (including 15 Adventist families) found themselves in a dire situation. Without access to adequate water, they could not grow their crops and the threat of starvation loomed. With funds provided by ASAP donors, the Cambodia Adventist Mission responded quickly with a delivery of emergency food assistance. Now, the mission is considering ways to bring medical missionaries and literacy teachers to Pu Kreng, as well. 9
Meeting Kha Nan’s Greatest Need BY LAURA HOKANSON
“R
ude, impolite, dirty, and ill-mannered.” These words once described the preschool-aged children of Kha Nan village. Then Kha Nan Nursery School opened its doors, and those descriptions
began to change. The village of Kha Nan was established to give those displaced by war a new beginning. However, most residents of this multi-ethnic community are illiterate and undereducated. Few, if any, have heard the gospel. As refugees flood into Kha Nan, families struggle to survive. Parents working long hours need care for their children. Children need education. Adventist church leaders recognized an opportunity to share the gospel by meeting these needs and established the Kha Nan Nursery School. When the school opened in May 2019, parents rushed to enroll their children. The children came from different ethnic backgrounds, spoke different languages, and could not understand each other or their teachers. They cried all day, refused to eat, would not take naps and were suffering from the trauma of war. To make matters worse, there was no water, no toilet, and no tables for students to study or eat at. The teachers, having never experienced an environment like this, almost gave up. Taking these problems to the Lord in prayer, they saw God answer

through the support of ASAP donors, whose gifts funded toilet facilities and a water reservoir. Local villagers donated tables. Through patient endurance and love, the teachers slowly won the trust of the children. The children began learning how to play together, speak a common language, wash their hands, say “thank you,” help their families at home, and most importantly, they learned about the God in heaven who loves them. In a short time, parents and community members began noticing remarkable changes. The children came home happy, clean, and well-mannered. Singing their little gospel songs around the home, they created a cheerful atmosphere. The school has become well known for excellence in education and the maturity of its students. Local government school teachers send their own children to Kha Nan Nursery School, because they know this foundation will better equip them for elementary school. The school quickly outgrew its space. Families were turned away because there was no room to enroll their children. Once more, the teachers turned to God. Again He provided through the faithfulness of donors like you who gave to the Greatest Needs Fund. Thanks to your gifts, ASAP was able to quickly provide funds for an addition to the school. Now, more preschool students can attend, and additional services like English classes are planned for the community. Please pray that the Kha Nan Nursery School will be a light that leads many to Jesus.
Planting and Praying BY JULIA O’CAREY, FROM A ZOOM INTERVIEW WITH VAN AND RACHAEL (PSEUDONYMS), AN ASAP CHURCH PLANTER COUPLE IN A CLOSED COUNTRY
J
ulia: It’s so good to see you, even though it’s not in person. I’ve missed you both! We’ve worked together for the past ten years and usually see each other at ASAP’s yearly training events. It’s so sad
that with Covid-19 we couldn’t meet last year.
Van: Yes! Praise the Lord for this opportunity to talk. It’s good seeing you, too. Julia: How is your family? Rachael: We are all healthy and well. Thanks for asking. Our family grew since you last saw us. We adopted a 20-year-old girl, Vivian (pseudonym). We witnessed to her grandparents, who raised her, and they became Seventh-day Adventists. Vivian is very frail and has kidney problems. Her health challenges were overwhelming to her grandparents, so they asked us to adopt her. Our daughter and three sons were so happy to have another sibling. Vivian is eager to study God’s Word and helps in church. Please pray we can get her the medical care she needs. In the meantime, the Lord sustains her through prayer. Julia: I’m so happy to hear you adopted Vivian. My family personally knows the joys and trials of adopting. It’s a special ministry the Lord has called you to. But you have another ministry, church planting! What has God been doing in your church plant lately?
crashed right into them, sending everyone flying off the motorcycles. Dayton regained consciousness first and rushed to his parents, who were still unconscious. He immediately called me, and my wife and I went to the accident scene to pray for them and help any way we could. The motorcycle was totaled, but by the time we got there, his parents were conscious, and we were able to bring them to the hospital. They only received bruises and scrapes but no serious injuries. The two girls were in the ICU. We were able to reach out to them and their families with prayer. Julia: This story reminds me of what God promises in Psalm 34:7. “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them” (KJV). *I interviewed Van and Rachael four times because they had so many stories of how God is growing their church, helping, healing, and protecting them and their members. Please keep them and our other persecuted brothers and sisters in your prayers.
Van: God continues to faithfully grow our church plant even amidst Covid-19. He is working miracles among the members and strengthening our faith through answered prayers. Julia: Praise the Lord! Please tell me some specific examples of how you see God at work!* Van: The Lord miraculously preserved the lives of three of our church members. Dayton (pseudonym) was driving his elderly parents home from prayer meeting when two drunk girls returning from a party 11
From the Headlines to Your Hometown BY PR. SCOTT GRISWOLD & LYNN EDMUND
A
month ago, I knocked on the door of a good friend in the Afghani community. Five men sitting on the floor had just finished their curry and bread. “Come in, come in,” they welcomed me. I looked
around the circle. Their faces were unusually sober.
“My brother-in-law was just killed yesterday,” a man shoved his phone at me. I looked at the handsome pilot. “He had just been home for vacation,” he continued. “The Taliban killed him!” The whole group was extremely worried. The Taliban was taking over new provinces. Any of their family members were at risk just because their sons had worked with the U.S. military. “I don’t think we’ll ever be able to go back,” my friend said sadly. Now the whole country has fallen under the Taliban’s control. We spent a late night desperately trying to get visas and tickets for a brother and
uncle of our closest Afghani friends. The U.S. military is keeping the airport open for only a little longer. When we woke up, we discovered that the visas had arrived by email, and we praised the Lord. Then, a few minutes later, a report on the news made us unsure if the tickets to India would be any good. We’re praying and waiting. Now, more than ever, I know that the 80 million people displaced by war and persecution are not just numbers, but real people with hopes and fears and family members who long for someone to help them. Will you join us in responding? Lynn Edmund has. Read her story in her own words, and see what you can learn about how to get involved. ****** I love helping the homeless, but I had never thought much about refugees. Then I met Pastor Scott and Julie Griswold with Reach the World Next Door. Jesus said “Go!” but now I know I can “go” without leaving Houston, because He has brought the need to my own city.
E Pr. Scott Griswold with an Afghani friend.

I gathered a few friends online and started the Reach the World Next Door training program with them. The videos and discussions motivated me to volunteer at a local refugee resettlement agency. They interviewed me and put me right to work. My job is to set up apartments for refugees arriving
from Afghanistan. I load my van with supplies from the agency and fix up their apartments before they fly in. I was so excited to greet the first family. So was their husband and father! He’s been working here for a while and preparing so his wife and six children could join him. They were so happy and a bit overwhelmed. We took the mother and the kids to the local school and filled out their forms. It was an amazing experience. I’d never thought before of what it must be like for them, learning English from scratch, making new friends, and figuring out life in their new country! On Sabbath morning, I had to call Pastor Scott and tell him I couldn’t lead the training this week because I had promised to take the kids to the park. He laughed and said, “That’s what it’s all about!” They played so hard. I was very exhausted, but the kids were so happy. I think that’s what’s been so special for me, seeing how well-behaved
the kids are and how the happiness just flows out of them. I got to sit on the floor in their home and eat their wonderful food with them. We couldn’t communicate much. Then I found an interpreter. I learned all about their experience back in Afghanistan. They’ve also shared the challenges they’re facing here. Just last night, the father called me for help. That shows me he’s truly trusting us. I’m so glad we can help lighten their load and share God’s love with them. ****** I’m so glad for Lynn and others like her. Would you like to help Afghani refugees? Canada has promised to resettle 20,000 more refugees from Afghanistan. America has plans for up to 30,000. Please visit reachtheworldnextdoor.com/training and start the training with some friends. Call a refugee resettlement agency. Pray for the refugees. Love them like your own family.
