Obligatory, "She's so cute!" comment. (She really is.) This was actually really encouraging. I wish I'd had messages like this when I was young. (50s now.) So often, people say they were "called" and "God led me", "God told me", etc. But they never really explain how. People spend their whole lives waiting & praying for that "call" and... before you know it. you're in your 50s and have wasted your life. That's where I am now. When I got saved at 18, I was doing my best in living for God in whatever circumstances I found myself, and praying to know what God wanted me to do. But honestly, I never really found it. I ended up just working office jobs. And the few times I did take a bit of a risk to try certain things (living a Christian community, later moving to a different area of my city) things imploded so badly, through no actions of my own, that I never wanted to take any risk again. I figured I'd misheard God somehow. I wish I'd heard things like this earlier, instead of waiting for some "sign". I also remember hearing at church that if you're too scared to go across the street and share the gospel with your neighbor, what makes you think you can go across the world to share it with strangers? I've always been a very shy person. I can't imagine going up to anyone that way. So I never even pursued going somewhere else in the world because I knew I was pretty much a failure at home. It's hard to have so many regrets. My life situation the past 7 years was taking care of elderly parents. Mother is now dead, father is left. I'm barely working part time, so I can't even financially help ministries. I honestly don't have any hope that I will ever do more than that. I wanted to love and serve God with all my heart. But I just never knew where/how. I hope I can find some way to make myself useful before I stand before Him. I really have very little to show for my life.

Taking time to pray for you today and if you feel like you need something in particular, let us know. Just as some encouragement, several of our missionary team members are introverts and share the gospel in different ways, and, they connect better with other introverted people. Also, just want to say that I am reminded all the time that the best things we do for the Lord are often the ones in secret, like caring for aging parents in a way that reflects Christ. It’s also in those daily conversations with God. Furthermore, in many cultures people only respect elders so missionaries that join the field past 50years can have an incredible influence that younger missionaries cannot simply due to age. One missionary had been working amongst a tribe and no one came to know Christ for years. His Dad visited him to cheer him up and spoke at a gathering and nearly the whole village was saved. The young missionary asked the chief why to which the chief replied something like: “we liked the Jesus you talked about but now we know elders have chosen to follow him too. Now we know it is safe for us to believe in Jesus.” Amazing. Whatever you bring to God today (even if “just” an honest conversation with him, praise, a song or prayer), He can and will use that. If missions is still on your heart ask God to make a way and I can join you in that prayer. Regardless, remember that “Nothing you ever do for the Lord is in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT) so your faithful love and care for your parents is likely more amazing than you realize. Blessings, thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

You're in a foreign country, in a very difficult situation, with all sorts of stresses already built in, for the purpose of obeying God in sharing the gospel with people who are at risk of being eternally separated from Jesus Christ.

@ThatGuyInCambodia3 ай бұрын
What's really cool is that most Khmer don't look down on the West, in fact, they look up to it in many ways. However, when it comes to personal beliefs of most aged 30 years and up, there is this sense that, they aren't allowed to believe it because they aren't western or don't want to forsake their Khmer Community. That's why it is good for Missionaries and Khmer Christians to model how to have Biblical values in a Khmer context.
@ThatGuyInCambodia3 ай бұрын
I also completely understand what you mean about bigotry of the West in the USA, there is way too much culturally accepted bigotry in the USA against Western values. The cool part is that once you get out of the West, you see that a lot of people (many Khmer) actually appreciate the West since they see the positive aspects of its culture and so many westerners have done so much to contribute to other nations and peoples around the world. People appreciate that. I definitely have gained an increased appreciation of my own American culture as a result of experiencing other cultures!

Furthermore, in many cultures people only respect elders so missionaries that join the field past 50years can have an incredible influence that younger missionaries cannot simply due to age. One missionary had been working amongst a tribe and no one came to know Christ for years. His Dad visited him to cheer him up and spoke at a gathering and nearly the whole village was saved. The young missionary asked the chief why to which the chief replied something like: “we liked the Jesus you talked about but now we know elders have chosen to follow him too. Now we know it is safe for us to believe in Jesus.” Amazing. Whatever you bring to God today (even if “just” an honest conversation with him, praise, a song or prayer), He can and will use that. If missions is still on your heart ask God to make a way and I can join you in that prayer. Regardless, remember that “Nothing you ever do for the Lord is in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT) so your faithful love and care for your parents is likely more amazing than you realize. Blessings, thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
I hope you're not teaching English there? 'Expatriate' means someone who lives outside of the country of his birth. It can also be a verb. It has nothing do with 'patriotism'.
Ha for sure! That’s why I teach science 🫠 If I do teach English, very low level (for obvious reasons). Sounds like you should teach English here!
@@ThatGuyInCambodia haha i am going to explore the possibilities of teaching ESL in Southeast Asia next year.
Nothing but claiming others culture to be theirs
We all share cultures to a certain extent, right? We didnt even get into subcultures…
@@ThatGuyInCambodia sure, but you know the fact that your people is shamelessly trying to claim thai culture. So dont give me “have same culture”. Your media is always trying to cover up things and manipulate people with fake history IT CHANGED EVERY YEAR.
One of the ancient greatest mysteries civilizations
One of the places wanted to visit
It’s definitely worth it!
No prices? That's unusual.
Not in second hand shops… everything is a negotiation.
Some people say you don’t need tefl . Ones saying that Id be afraid to hire them n I’m easy. So I’ll take your word on it sir. Can you suggest best tefl program that will can be geared with teaching for all age ranges
You need teaching experience more than Tefl. The tefl program is easy to get, it’s the experience and quality teaching (plus being willing to move to different school when your situation isnt desirable - or negotiate higher pay) that will land you a good paying job.
Do you have teaching experience? If not, maybe get some sort of Certification like tefl or similar. If you do have experience, just start applying!
Hate those mosquito bikes. Loud asf for no reason but to show off. Hate the riders who ride them.
Yeah, but Honda Dream, Scoopy and PCX are relatively quiet compared to the full on motorcycles and motocross bikes.
There was a lot of wisdom here.
Sounds like you understand.
I appreciate that this young man is honest. Missionary life is usually romanticized as some grand adventure. But sometimes, you really are spending the whole day (or even weeks!) trying to fix something in the house. And then not even succeeding. You're lonely. You may often be sick from unfamiliar foods and bad water. Progress will seem to be inching along, if at all. These things are just reality. I like that he was honest about that. I hope things continue to go well for him!
Totally agree! Loved his honesty
Why are women so obsessed over their relationship with their husbands? You're in a foreign country, in a very difficult situation, with all sorts of stresses already built in, for the purpose of obeying God in sharing the gospel with people who are at risk of being eternally separated from Jesus Christ. Wives must be a support to their husbands in this, not put more stress and demands on them by nagging them about "date nights" or whatever!
<<ខ្លួនទីពឹងខ្លួនុ>> I just finished writing a paper on that in my Buddhism class. Thanks for doing these interviews. It reminds me about life in Cambodia - Lest I forget.
We miss you out here. Looking forward to hanging out in the village together again.
Thanks for helping Cambodian people to get better in speaking English ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your encouraging comment. I love Cambodia and the Khmer people are incredible. The English is improving at a rapid rate in Cambodia. ស៉ូស៉ូស្រុកខ្មែរ !
Awesome podcast series! I've been a gospel tract missionary to Cambodia for three and a half years. (Mostly to the villages.) Lord willing, I'm here for life! (I even bought my grave here already, as my small attempt to tell the Lord, "Lord, I believe you want me here for life and I am committed to staying here.") Always praying for God to send more missionaries to Cambodia. I believe Good will use your podcast to draw them here! Thanks for your podcast work! Don't quit!🙏
Thanks a ton for your encouragement!! Season 2 is upcoming and it means a lot to know there’s still people who can benefit from the podcast. Would love to chat more with you and hear more about your ministry! Thanks for being faithful to the Lord’s calling!!
Nice one, thanks
Do you think a $1600 salary is enough for a couple in Siem Reap?
If you eat more locally yes. Most foreign couples would want around 2k but my wife and I eat local food mostly and live on that amount or below. Just try to get a place for around $200-300/mo if possible.
@@ThatGuyInCambodia thanks for the reply. You get a lot of contrasting opinions online but I guess people have different needs. Another thing we hear different things about it how tax works in the country as a teacher? We have been told we will need to sort this out ourselves. Any advice?
@@Whatmowthelawn Tax depends on the country you're from. If you're from the US then you'll still need to file taxes. Nowadays the schools are required to pay taxes and other withdrawals ("retirement", ss, etc.)
What is the age requirement?
18+ 👍🏼
To all my Khmer community 🙏🙌📖 kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4GgttioY6vSlrg.htmlsi=vRO1yAX7wIRPGziW😊
how to apply
Follow the links in the description OR just click on the jobs you like on the websites I show. Each school has a different process.
I want to email you personally
[email protected]
I wish there were more options here. versys 300, cb150x, 250 Vstrom, etc. it’s very limited here
Haha yeah, it is. Tbh, I find it refreshing not to be overwhelmed with choices.
nice one brother ill keep you close incase i need help. subbed n saved.
Thanks bro! Btw, lots of IT teacher jobs or IT opportunities.
Can you please make a video sharing the Gospel of Jesus in Khmer so I can show my parents? I'm no longer fluent in Khmer because I was raised in Canada since I was an infant. I have found some videos on youtube but because I no longer understand Khmer, I don't know if all that is said is accurate.
I’ll send you one of my friends who shares the Gospel. Maybe I can try to upload it. Also have lots of testimonies in Khmer I can send to you. Send me an email at [email protected] and I can send you some 👍🏼
@@ThatGuyInCambodia thank you! I will contact you there.
I applied for an 'internship' with the company i did my TEFL course with as i have absolutely ZERO experience in teaching and no degree. And while they can't 'guarantee' a placement, i really hope they do, everybody needs to start somewhere, right? If not though, I'll be sure to check up on some of these sites! Thank you 👍
Solid comment 👌🏼
Aawwwww, she's so adorable! And the Bible is amazing. The written language is so pretty. (I used to do calligraphy years ago.)
Thank you for this interview. It's always encouraging to learn how Jesus is working in different parts of this world. I appreciated all the very practical advice given at the end. Very wise!
Your comments are super encouraging to me. Thanks a ton!
@@ThatGuyInCambodia I am glad!
Oh! That's Ms. Jenny's husband! (Sorry, thinking out loud. I just watched the interview with Ms. Jenny.)
Oh, I just wanted to hug her! This is real trauma, not like the nonsense of today. What is most horrifying is that America is slowly adopting the same communist mindset of making everything equal and oppressor/oppressed and rich people are the evil ones, etc. We will end up the same way if we don't wake up. Most people in America are clueless. I loved this lady! I can't believe she lived in my city, Chicago! I wasn't clear if she still lives here or is now back in Cambodia. Thank you for sharing her story.
Totally agree with you. We are doomed to repeat the horrors of the Khmer Rouge if we do not understand how evil sneaks in and takes over. Her and her husband still work and live here in Cambodia. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@@ThatGuyInCambodia Thanks!
Thank you.
Happy to help. Thanks for dropping a comment!
About 2-3 minutes in. Even if this was a "Western God", so what? Why is it always acceptable to speak down about Western things, but if you say anything remotely perceived as negative about non Western things, you're chastised for it? I'm tried of this bigotry against the West.
What's really cool is that most Khmer don't look down on the West, in fact, they look up to it in many ways. However, when it comes to personal beliefs of most aged 30 years and up, there is this sense that, they aren't allowed to believe it because they aren't western or don't want to forsake their Khmer Community. That's why it is good for Missionaries and Khmer Christians to model how to have Biblical values in a Khmer context.
I also completely understand what you mean about bigotry of the West in the USA, there is way too much culturally accepted bigotry in the USA against Western values. The cool part is that once you get out of the West, you see that a lot of people (many Khmer) actually appreciate the West since they see the positive aspects of its culture and so many westerners have done so much to contribute to other nations and peoples around the world. People appreciate that. I definitely have gained an increased appreciation of my own American culture as a result of experiencing other cultures!
@@ThatGuyInCambodia Great to hear. I hope I can be financially in a place to travel someday. I desperately wish I could.
@@ThatGuyInCambodia Yes, I can understand that. It's also difficult for Westerners to understand a culture where religion is weaved into it that way, so that changing your religion = rejecting your culture and your family.
If you ever feel like taking a volunteer opportunity out here (especially if you have teaching experience), let us know, maybe we can set you up! What do you feel God calling you to?
Don't touch little boys
Don’t touch anyone.
What do you like most about Cambodia in general?
The people. Kind, welcoming, community oriented. Depends on who you meet to a certain extent, but if you spend time in the villages, it is incredible.
Where have you found the cheapest place to buy vitamins like "billberry" for your eye sight in Phnom Penh? Also where have you found the cheapest place to buy medications in Phnom Penh?
There are several pharmacies that carry them. Angkor Mart is pretty well priced and imports things from USA. There’s also lots of pharmacies around Phnom Penh with lots of products from abroad. Ucare is overpriced.
Hallelujah, thanks brother for doing this podcast🔥🔥🔥❤️ Kingdom of God come in Cambodia
Kingdom of God is incredible! So thankful for Mike Brewer being willing to sit down with us.
So your wife bought the Scoopy. What did you buy?
Air blade and pcx 👌🏼
@@ThatGuyInCambodia One of my roommates here in Phnom Penh drove his Air Blade all the way from Ho chi mon city, Vietnam to Phnom Penh. He did add a case on to the rear for carrying an extra helmet. Lots of power around town, when the two of us were exploring the city.
@@MyLifeThai371 That's been my experience too, those things can take a beating and last super well if you change the oil regularly.
Good Sir
Good to meet you tonight bro. Just subscribed to your channel
Hi I'm non-native English speaker, would like to teach English in Cambodia, my partner who's not having a degree, can he teach English with a Diploma?
It may be hard to find an English job without a degree, however there are volunteer gigs that exist for that. After some experience you can go for other English jobs. You can still call or apply to schools though and see what they say.
@@ThatGuyInCambodia Thanks for the response, I appreciate the tip 👍
Happy to help. And remember you can always call some of those smaller schools and see what they have available
@@ThatGuyInCambodia Will definitely do, thanks for your help. Perhaps, can you do a video where you compare Thailand and Cambodia in terms of teaching jobs? All things; including hiring, salaries, accepting of foreigners, safety ect. Thanks...
@@jessicahijarunguru4117 I've never taught in Thailand but if I have a guest that'd be a great comparison. From what I have heard it is similar teaching in Thailand. Higher paying jobs that require more qualifications in cities, lower pay but lower requirements the farther from cities you are. For safety, I'd recommend getting a job first so that they help you settle in and they can guide you to what's safe and what's not.
❤❤❤thank you
Love your country! Thanks for being so kind to us teachers. 🙏🏼🇰🇭🇺🇸
as a christian who is a westerner, it is so hard to believe these testimonies because we never seen it before. the only healing that happens is at the hospital. we pray for the doctor to do their job and we think its a miracle when the doctor does a good job and heal our loved ones.
I was in the same place before I came to Cambodia. Everything changed when I started listening to testimonies from friends and more online…then I dared to pray and started experiencing it. Delafe Testimonies is another youtube channel with some powerful testimonies, the testimony of the buddhist coming to Christ on that channel is common here in Cambodia.
I want to maybe one day live in Mondulkiri or Ratanakiri since it is the coldest of the provinces. Thanks for the podcast. keep it up. Some are listening.
Yes! These are both great provinces if you want the cool weather. We had a great time up there a couple weeks ago. Amazing testimonies from locals! Thanks for letting me know the podcast is helpful to you. It’s encouraging!
