DIOPTER


Yes, diopter is this a term used to describe the power of glasses expressed in a negative or positive power.  If one has difficulty reading then glasses have positive great power as those of us over 40 have experienced.  As the eye ages our natural lens become less responsive as the lens looses its elasticity making near vision difficult.  So we need a 2 or 3 diopter positive lens in order to clearly see the print.  Now depending on subject matter read. reading glasses may possess power for the soul. 
As many know the scripture inspired by God by those moved by His Spirit has power for the soul.
During a recent medical outreach in Kampong Speu province in Cambodia the glasses distribution station became a desired place for patients to congregate.  One lady tried on one pair of glasses with low diopter which helped her to see better.  As the diopter increased her ability to see also increased. Upon trying her third pair she settled on the proper diopter of the glasses that gave her a clear view of the Biblical script.  The appropriate power of the glasses once again opened the power of the scripture for her, for without the glasses she was not able to read the scripture.  She stayed at the glasses station an extended time rejoicing in her ability read and contemplate the power of God’s word. Her newly acquired glasses opened the eyes of her heart.

PREY THOM-PRAY BIG

Now sure exactly what it may mean to pray big, but it makes an interesting play on words when mixed the Khmer language.  Prey means forest, thom means big.  So why not pray big.  Why not pray expecting to see the hand of God work among.  I suspect many people are praying big expecting the spirit to work in Cambodia.


To further explain, Prey Thom village began four years with displaced people coming from various parts of Cambodia.  The government gave them land on which to settle.  How the people became displaced is a story for another time.  We became aware of the spirit of God working in Prey Thom about 3 years ago.  Khmer Christian Church (KCC), a small upstart church in Phnom Penh, began looking for an outreach in the province.  They were lead to Prey Thom.  The gospel pricked the heart of several people and a small church began.  Someone or many were praying big.  God worked in the hearts of the KCC leadership and in the hearts of the people in Prey Thom for the beginning of a church.
