Wow! What an incredibly spirit-filled worship service this morning at New Life Church in Phnom Penh! There were times when singing and praying today that I felt as if I were outside of my physical body worshipping God. I don't even recall exactly what I was thinking or saying at that time, but I remember feeling an absolute peace of being completely surrendered to God's love. Neth, who I posted about earlier this week, was leading the worship songs and I have never experienced anything quite like what I experienced today. There was a freedom and joy in singing that was at once a part of the whole church community and at the same time intimately personal with God. Even though most were singing in Khmer and others of us were singing in English (and perhaps other languages too) there was a beautiful unity of spirit in worship.
A young man named Sokun (sp?) sat next to me and at one time held my hands and began praying for me in Khmer; such a beautiful fellowship. The church ran out of translation headphones this morning and so Sokun pulled out a set of ear buds from his carry bag and tuned his phone to the radio station the church was using, then offered his ear buds to me so that I was able to hear translation of the sermon.
