Each week at our local Khmer Church, people give testimonies of God working in their lives – usually of healing and protection (two key pillars of faith here).
Last Sunday, a young man in his early 30s told of how two to three weeks ago he had been riding his motorbike during a terrible thunderstorm. He was actually teaching Khmer to a foreigner and was loathe to miss a lesson despite the awful weather.
As he neared the huge antennae at Toul Kork (near our first two houses here), lightning struck. He described to us the pain that seemed to pass from his mobile phone and out through his arms. In “shock”, he rode faster to outpace the danger. Later, he marvelled that he wasn’t killed by either event and praised God.
He was in great pain for a number of days, but soon healed which was his second praise point.
But, it was his final praise point that was the most surprising and had the congregation in stitches. Over many months, this man had been taking various courses of medicine prescribed to rid him of some very hardy parasites. The lightning strike finally did the job.
