My heart was heavy with joy as my friend, who I haven’t seenin two years, was now sitting with me at church. Keyla was a Buddhist monk when I first met Him. Much has changed with Keyla in the past
two years
I want to reintroduce you to him. I’ve mentioned him in a few blogs from time to time. Click here to read, bullet-proff-monk-3 I met Keyla in Cambodia on my first
World Race. We’ve been in touch
ever since and is a good friend of mine.
He follows every blog of mine and writes me e-mails every
week. He’s reading this one right
now.
Hood.” Since then he has been very
proactive in reaching out to the people of his country. Specifically the children, he has
started a school in a rural area in Siem Reap. Some of the students are orphans
but in general the students don’t have much money, so it’s free for every
student to attend. The school is
also where Keyla’s lives, it’s his home.
He works with another gentlemen, Mr. Ross, and they have partnered
together to run the school for the 30 students.
Keyla speaks 3 languages and is finishing His studies at a
university where he studies English.
To put it nicely, Cambodian universities aren’t like Universities in the
West, nor Is Keyla’s life. He has
a very humble living and is doing all He can to make the most out of what he
has. All he wants to do is create
opportunity for the children in his country. He believes He can do this by teaching English. English is an open door for opportunity
in Cambodia. It means you can have
a shot at decent job, like a tour guide, and make decent money.
God has been doing something big in Keyla’s heart. We spent a lot of time together while I
was in Siem Reap. He told me one
day, “I am half and half… I still believe in the way of Buddha, but I also
believe in your God! I was a monk-
Buddhism is what I know- but I believe in your God also, I want to learn more-
show me how! You helped me in my
life, and I watched your life and meet other Christians- I think one day I will
be all the way for your God- but for now I want to study the Bible, and one
day… yes I think so!”
Ahh... I love you Keyla!! =)
We had such an amazing conversation that day, if you can
imagine! Such Joy and honesty between us!
I admire his heart and passion to serve the people of his country!
I ask you all to partner with me in prayer over Keyla. He is an amazing man, and there is such
favor over his life! I see the
hand of God on him!! He has expressed to know more about the one true God,
about Jesus! So let it be so! This
is my prayer for my friend!
This is for you Keyla!
“Father, religion was made by man! You are not religion! You were before that! You are the beginning and the end! Youare intimacy, you are relationship, you are love, you are power, you are He who
made the world and man who lives within it! You are the creator, the one true God! You are not theology or theory! You are substance, tangible, and
alive! You sent your son to make a
way for us all! Thank you! I felt you all my life, but I didn’t
know what to call you, or how to get to you! But you made the way through your son Jesus! Thank for never stopping to bring me to
where I am now! Thank you for
giving me an encounter with you that I’ll never be able to shake from my memory
or spirit! God- you told me
things, and you keep doing it!
Thank you for not stopping!
Thank you for being tangible!
I want for my friend what you have given me, Hope and LIFE like I’ve
never know! To now know the one who
made me, you God! And to be on the
journey of Greater things!. On the
journey of learning the Heart of God, and the endless love that you have for
everyone! I pray that Keyla has an
encounter with you and your love for Him!
An encounter with your spirit!
I bind Him to the highest will that you have for His life! I pray He goes past where I’ve been or
where I think I’m going! I pray
that you would prosper Keyla in His nation and bring life and restoration to
it! I pray that he would be a
leader in His community and even country!
I pray for %100 because you %100 p know and love him! I speak
over His eyes and ears; “may you hear and see only Life and truth!!! May death,
lies, and illusion be shown for what they are!” I thank you that you’re patient God and that you’ll always
be with him, and that it never stops! I pray for Angels to be with Him and protect Him! I
bind Hope and Love to Him! And I
pray Destiny would be revealed. In Jesus Name”
