Dear Partners in the Ministry,

Greetings in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We hope and pray that you are all doing well especially on the emergency crisis that every country is experiencing right now because of the corona virus. I still believe that God is still on the throne and God is still in control. As we continue to trust and seek God's direction in this situation, let us pray for one another.

Just to give you an update to our ministry in Cambodia; last September 2019,

Grace Baptist Church Phnom Penh celebrated its 9th year anniversary and we thanked God for every faithful members of the church for supporting this event and for inviting visitors who had the opportunity to hear for the first time the clear presentation of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and made their public profession of faith during the invitation.

We also praise God for the success of every activity we have done after the church

anniversary.

Soul Winning and Baptist Leadership Conference This year 2020, we are excited and looking

forward to celebrate our 10th Year Church Anniversary. We praise God to every ministry that was entrusted to us and we rejoice for every soul who trusted Christ for the last nine years here in Cambodia. One of the many, many things that we are thankful about the ministry here in the capital city is that we are not only reaching the people of Cambodia but also different nationalities like Filipinos, South Africans, Chinese and even Americans who are working in the International Schools. Because of these opportunities, we have an international church congregation today.

Please continue to pray for our church weekly schedules and activities as this emergency crisis slow us down.

About our family, Rafael is turning five years old this coming August and he will be a big brother very soon. Rachel is pregnant for thirty-five weeks and three days; she is due next month, April to our second baby boy named Gabriel.

Our family decided to travel back to the Philippines three weeks ago for the

purpose of Rachel's pregnancy to make it sure that there will be no complication between Rachel's health and the baby. While we are here in the Philippines, as you continue to see different pictures we post on Facebook, I had the privilege to be invited and to preach to different churches and to challenge them about mission and to encourage the churches in the Philippines about what the Lord is doing in the ministry in Cambodia while our resident Pastor, Pastor Saravorn and the church trained leaders take charge of the ministry in Cambodia while I am not around.

We are currently experiencing a total lockdown here in the main island of the Philippines. People are in-line in every supermarket; malls and establishments are being shut down. Even in Cambodia today, the government stop all the religious gatherings and if they catch you, they will fine you and a possible jail time. Please help us to pray for our needs and let us make it sure that God gets the glory in every storm and challenges in our lives.

Before we end this letter, in behalf of our family and the mission work in

Cambodia; I would like to mention seven things that we are so grateful and we would like to let everyone knows about these seven things: WE ARE GRATEFUL, number one, for your love for God; number two, for your heart for mission; number three, for considering the people of Cambodia; number four, for loving our family; number five, for your financial support for whatever ministerial needs; number six, for your friendship and partnership and number seven, for always remembering us in your prayers.

Together We Serve,

Francis, Rachel and Rafael Landingin
