The Citylight Church mission is to multiply disciples and churches. We not only carry out this mission locally but also regionally and globally. Citylight Global has seen the faithfulness of God in His mission by discovering the Mission of God, developing members of all ages to step into the various roles of this mission, and sending those called to GO to the unreached. One global partnership we have had the privilege to go and serve with are the Manfreds in Southeast Asia. The Manfreds have served the unreached people groups of Southeast Asia through various medical, linguistic, and relational engagements. This past year, Citylight Church had the opportunity to support this partner in a tangible way. Dave Manfred, CMA Country Director, updated our church with how they were able to use the tangible gift to carry out God’s mission.
“I want to say a very large THANK YOU for coming alongside us to bless the Stung Treng Referral Hospital. This is the main hospital for Stung Treng province. You helped us to take it from a three bed ICU to a six bed ICU. We have improved the location by space for the staff who work there to rest and sleep there overnight. We have also been able to expand to include one new room for those who need to be in isolation. Thank you for partnering with us in this very significant way. This is part of a larger project that we are doing in Stung Treng primarily focusing on medical work. At the hospital we have a U.S. trained doctor who is helping to train Southeast Asian doctors."
"We also have a programs training nurses at the nursing school and with lab technicians. Not only are we trying to help those practical and needed ways, but we are also bringing the Gospel through our missionaries who are working there as medical professionals. They have opportunities to speak into the lives of students, doctors and patients. There are also bible studies with believers and non-believers in that community that have been unreached with the Gospel."
"Thank you for helping us in this practical way to bring the love of Jesus by meeting practical ways but also, for giving us the opportunity to share that message with the broader community. To see the good news of Jesus not just in deed but in word as it touches lives through not just helping people temporarily with their medical needs but helping them eternally. Thank you for partnering with us in this call to reach the people in Southeast Asia.”
