About Myself (2017)

Hello, my name is Sen Sophal. I am from the northern part of Cambodia and was born in 1991. I live in Samraong Town, Otdar Meanchey Province, Cambodia. Since I was young, I have lived with my adopted mother. My biological father passed away when I was very small, and my biological mother was too poor to take care of me, so she entrusted me to my adopted mother.

My adopted mother also adopted another son and daughter, so I have one brother and one sister, and I am the youngest among them. My favorite foods and snacks include Cambodian noodles, peanuts, apples, corn, and durian. I enjoy, reading books, videos editing, playing tennis and going jogging in my free time.

When I was a child, I was very helpful to my adopted mother. I would wake up early in the morning to help her bake cakes. In the afternoon, I would take care of the cows in the fields. My life was very busy, and because of that, I did not have time to go to school like other children in my village. I only started elementary school when I was ten years old.

In 2008, one of my English teachers, Mr. Mom Sok, asked me to help him teach English. This happened at an Adventist school. It was during this time that I got to know God, and I was baptized in 2009. Since then, my life has changed and been blessed.

After graduating from high school in 2012, I felt God's call to serve Him. I started working as a church planter, giving Bible studies, visiting homes, and leading care group activities. In 2013, I was chosen as the Union Representative to be trained as a missionary in the "One Year In Mission" program in Manila, under the Southern Asia-Pacific Division (SSD).

From 2014 to 2015, I served as the coordinator of the "One Year In Mission" program in both Malaysia and Cambodia, under the Southeast Asia Union Mission (SAUM). In 2015, I was greatly blessed — after completing the project in Cambodia, I got married to my beloved wife, Soeuy Rany. We were also blessed to study together at Mountain View College. Currently, I am studying AB Theology, and my wife is studying BSN Nursing.

Looking back, I can clearly see God's blessings and goodness in my life and in my family. I was once an orphan, but God became my loving and faithful Father. I was a cowherd, but He chose me to be a shepherd of His church. I was a sickly young boy, but now I am healthy by God’s grace. I was poor, but now I am spiritually rich in God’s family. I had no friends, but God became my best friend. I once had no opportunity for education, but now I am blessed to study at Mountain View College—together with my wife. I had no home, but God is preparing a better home for me in the future, at the end of time.

Above all, I want to thank God for everything in my life. I believe it is better to be poor and learn from God step by step, than to be rich without knowing Him. Through my life experiences, I have learned endurance and gained a powerful testimony to share with others about God’s love and His plan of redemption for all humanity.

[sensophal]

This week, Mountain View College has been celebrating the week of prayer on the theme " Meet Jesus" we are all blessed by the Word of God through out the week. Last two days ago, Pastor David, the speaker from Africa, after giving the message he joined our theology group prayer band. he shared his experiences to all the theology students and I am so touched with his encouragements and quickly noted and want to share with you as well. He said " If we learn to humbly kneel before God, we will boldly stand before man to serve and share His Word" and he continually says " sometimes, in the ministry you will be lonely, but you will never be lonely if you know what is God calling you to do and serve people in the field". I am starting to realize and reflect how it will be more joyful in our lives and in serving God, even though there are some trials, tragedies and challenges for now and future. But I know there is the great Hope and God is in control of this great controversy.

Reflection of March, 2014

“Jesus Listens to people and answers for their needs”

 I was really blessed with small Group activities. According to my observation and striving out to reach people in the city, to those who are hopeless, to those who are burden in their heart and mind, to those who have never known Jesus Christ, I would like to thank God, that He makes me like His Letter and the blessing instrument to be the blessing of those people. My Group has brought the great hope and the Good News of Jesus Christ to  Marivick and Rafonsel, my new friends they work as salespersons in Harboursquare. During the activities of Lifestyle sharing with module lesson they inspired and cried while they were sharing their life with us. Moreover they told us that they wanted to study the Bible. These few weeks Eagle’s care Group has already started and brought them to Join Bible study together in Harbour Square and Magakati.

Life of people in Manila, Philippines is very busy, free and anarchistic. Everyday people get up early morning start doing their professional work and business. Every midnight most people are still on the street, still on their work or business. Some people work whole day-nonstop. While I was doing small group ministry in the city I saw many street children along the street or in the park. They were looking for some food in the garbage bin. Some children do not have parents take care and educated, they were learning to smoke cigarette and sharing to their friends. I saw the view of Manila Situation is not so good. After I saw them I felt compassionate and realized that God really need them to be His children. God sent His missionary to see how the sinful of this world, and God wants all his servant to be His mediator between sinful person and God, So that homeless, hopeless, orphans and so on can see “God Loves them very much”.

  God is so very powerful and blessed to those who need Him. I think that all people really need God so much, not just the people in Rural area or countryside, but also People in the city.

How to be on mission in the city

Let’s consider just a sampling of the facts:

5.5 million people move into cities every month—that’s the equivalent of a new San Francisco Bay Area being created every 30 days. (UN-HABITAT)

Right now, there are 23 megacities, with over 10 million citizens. By 2025, there will be 36 such cities. (UN)

In 1900, only 14% of the world’s population lived in urban areas. The number was 30% in 1950. In 2011 the world became 51% urban. By 2050, the world will be nearly 70% urban. (PRB)

In short, all signs point to a very urban future.

What do you need to know in order to live on faithful gospel mission in this urban future? Here is what I believe are five necessities for faithful gospel mission in an urbanized world.

1. Get grounded in the gospel

A faithful presence of Jesus’ gospel in the city hinges on his gospel itself. There are great needs in your city, and there are many doing important work, but the gospel itself will be the unique contribution that you bring to your city.

Whether you find yourself working in finance, the arts, health care, vocational ministry, or some other field, your life in the city must be grounded in and driven by the gospel of grace. The gospel is the be-all, end-all of the Christian life in an urbanized world.

2. Learn your city’s story

Every city has a story, a story that tells the overarching belief system that drives how the city functions.

You can get to know your city’s story in the same way that you would come to learn one of you neighbor’s stories: Ask questions. Listen. Observe. Interact.

As you consider the history, values, dreams, fears, and ethos of your city, an overarching storyline will emerge. For example, the story of Boston is the pursuit of knowledge through education. The story of Silicon Valley is the pursuit of success through innovation. The story of Washington, D.C. is power through governance.

What is your city’s story?

Get to know it so that you can understand the overarching belief system with which your neighbors are working.

3. Engage in the life of your city

Faithful gospel mission in an urbanized world is not something that you can do on paper. Much like exiled Israel, we are called to “seek the welfare of the city” in which God has placed us. We must “pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare” (Jer. 29:7). In other words, we need to engage the life of our cities.

For exiled Israel, this included the basic cultural work of homebuilding, garden planting, harvesting, marrying, and childrearing (Jer. 29:5–6). Our cities must be places where we set down our roots and seek out relationships with our neighbors for the good of the city.

4. Discern your city’s idols

All cities are centers of worship, and urban dwellers are some of the most passionate worshipers on earth.

The issue is not worship; the issue is the false gods that steal our affection, devotion, and praise. It is important to ask questions like:

“What is it that drives my neighbors’ lives?”

“What is it that those who live in my city could not imagine living without?”

“What, if it were taken away, would bring my city to its knees?”

Faithful gospel mission means that we must become keen at identifying the false gods to which our neighbors are attaching their hopes. Loving my neighbors is at least partly about helping them spot the lies they are believing that will leave them perpetually dissatisfied.

5. Retell your city’s story with the gospel

The gospel doesn’t destroy a city’s story, but brings completeness to it.

Once you have engaged your city and determined the nature of its idols, the key is to retell the story of the city in such a way that its idols are found to be wanting and its hopes are seen to be fulfilled in Christ alone.

If your city is built on knowledge, it must come to see the emptiness of its own knowledge in light of the folly of the cross of Christ, “who became to us wisdom from God” (1 Cor. 1:30). If your city is built on power, it must come to see the weakness of its own power in light of the all-powerful one who willingly gave himself up for our sakes, not counting equality with God something to be grasped (Phil. 2:6–11). When the inhabitants of a city turn from their idols to worship the God of the gospel, the city’s story finds its completeness.

There is much more to be said about faithful gospel mission in an urbanized world, but this much is clear: the world is moving to the city. The question that hangs in the air is, “How will Christians respond?”

Eagle Team: Quote week 3 for small Group

[sensophal]

Sermon for 3 minutes

Title   : Test of Discipleship

*Main point: bearing the evidence of a repentant, forgiven, and consecrated heart of faith in total submission to God’s Spirit

Outline:

Introduction(40s)

----Let me ask you the question?

Have u you ever experienced having a test in your life? How can you overcome the hardest test in life? Failed or passed?

Today I would like talk about “the test of Disciple”

  The Meanings of the words “Test and Discipleship”

*Test:

-If an event or situation is a test of a person or thing, it reveals their qualities or effectiveness.

- A test is a deliberate action or experiment to find out how well something works.

*Disciple=follower

If you are someone's disciple, you are influenced by their teachings and try to follow their example.

—Source: Collins CoBuild Dictionary

*It means that the test of follower/disciple to acknowledge or reveal that how well, quality, effective, influence they are!

  The Body(1min and 30s)

1. First test

Jesus gives the test to Adam and Eve: Genesis 2:16-17   16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;  17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

---- this was a test of his obedience to the known will of God.

--against the holy will of God, liable to pain, disease, and death. Worse than that, he would lose the holy image of God, and all the comfort of his favour; and feel the torment of sinful passions,

lose all the happiness

--     It was possible for Adam, before the fall, to form a righteous character by obedience to God's law. But he failed to do this, and because of his sin our natures are fallen and we cannot make ourselves righteous. Since we are sinful, unholy, we cannot perfectly obey the holy law. We have no righteousness of our own with which to meet the claims of the law of God. But Christ has made a way of escape for us. He lived on earth amid trials and temptations such as we have to meet. He lived a sinless life. He died for us, and now He offers to take our sins and give us His righteousness. If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your Saviour, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ's character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God just as if you had not sinned.

-- Obedience—the service and allegiance of love—is the true sign of discipleship.

We do not earn salvation by our obedience; for salvation is the free gift of God, to be received by faith. But obedience is the fruit of faith.

If we abide in Christ, if the love of God dwells in us, our feelings, our thoughts, our purposes, our actions, will be in harmony  or peacefulness with the will of God as expressed in the precepts(principle) of His holy law.

    2. Second Test( Today’s Test God has given to every creature=Lovely people)

What is the second test of discipleship, is it a true test? See John 14:15.

John 14:15  15 " If you love Me, keep My commandments.(NKJ)

John 14:15  5 "If you love me, you will obey what I command(NIV)

-- If ye love me. Do not show your love by grief at my departure merely, or by    

                   Profession, but by obedience.

    Keep my commandments. This is the only proper evidence of love to Jesus, for mere profession is no proof of love; but that love for him which leads us to do all his will, to love each other, to deny ourselves, to take up our cross, and to follow him through evil report and through good report, is true attachment. The evidence which we have that a child loves its parents is when that child is willing, without hesitation, gainsaying, or murmuring, to do all that the parent requires him to do. So the disciples of Christ are required to show that they are attached to him supremely by yielding to all his requirements, and by patiently doing his will in the face of ridicule and opposition,

     More than this, Christ changes the heart. He abides in your heart by faith. You are to maintain this connection with Christ by faith and the continual surrender of your will to Him; and so long as you do this, He will work in you to will and to do.

Recap(25s)

If we are in Christ and we invite Christ into our heart every day: according to the bible said;

     "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

--Those who become new creatures in Christ Jesus will bring fruit of the Spirit “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law" Galatians 5:22, 23. They will no longer fashion themselves according to the former lusts, but by the faith of the Son of God they will follow in His steps, reflect His character, and purify themselves even as He is pure. The things they once hated they now love, and the things they once loved they hate. The proud and self-assertive become meek and lowly in heart. The vain and supercilious become serious and unobtrusive. The drunken become sober,

  Conclusion(15s)

Being true disciple we have to renew our heart in Christ and obedience him you will become in the strength of Christ. sweetest thoughts, hopeful life , pleased with all things to God’s Will, So that we Can overcome and pass the test in Life. And this is “Our only ground of hope is in the love, faithfulness and righteousness of Jesus Christ”. ….Amen!
