Lost: God

When was the last time you were sitting in your favourite coffee place and a stranger walked over to ask if you could help his search for God? Yeah.. I know.. this doesn't so much happen on a regular basis but it did happen to me last night. I don't think I have any special, holy glow about me so it was kinda cool that a Cambodian guy in his late twenties would sit down with his hot drink and doughnut to talk faith.

I discovered that he's been working in Poipet for almost a year and decided just last week that he wanted to know God. The Christian God. 'Dy' asked around and a friend of a friend of a friend thought he knew of a church in Poipet. On Saturday he went looking for the church but couldn't find it. When he saw me in the coffee shop he decided to take a punt. Do you speak Khmer? Do you mind if I sit down? Are you a Christian? Great! Because I want to find God.

Anyway, an hour later we had talked about life, religion, sport, work, Jesus, the bible and etc. We exchanged numbers and I will give Dy a bible and information about local bible study groups and church services. The funny thing was that Dy also asked if I get many strangers asking me similar kinds of questions? Umm...not so much.
