| Miracle in A Tuk Tuk |
 |
Jim & Kathie Lowans, Asia Pacific Regional Representatives of Global TC, met Sna in 2009. He works 16 hours every day driving tuk tuk to shield his family from the harsh realities of the streets of Phnom Penh. Day to day, moment to moment, he struggles to feed his wife and 6 children. He drove Jim & Kathie Lowans as they ministered in Cambodia. As he drove them each day, they opened their hearts to him. |

When it was time for Jim to minister in church Sunday morning, Kathie invited Sna to the service.
"I cannot take the time from work", Sna confided, eyes averted as he looked to the ground,
"I must feed my family."
"How much do you make on a Sunday morning?" Jim asked? "I will pay your Sunday morning fares if you will come to the service with us." Quietly Sna looked up and |

Jim pressed the several dollars into Sna's hand. "What will I wear?" Sna asked
"You are fine just as you are," Jim smiled. "As Christians we come to God just as we are."
They headed for the tuk tuk to go to the service. This time, instead of just dropping them off, Sna followed them into the church. He slipped into the back pew, watching intently as the service began. |

At the end of the service when Jim asked if anyone wanted to commit their lives to Jesus Christ, the first hand raised was Sna. He came to the altar and surrendered his whole life to Jesus Christ. He knelt at the altar with tears streaming down his cheeks and God touched his life.
At the end of the altar call, Jim connected him to the church. He took him to the book store and purchased a Bible for him. Sna caressed the cover of his brand new Khmer translation of the word of God like it was a treasure chest. Jim and Kathie prayed with him again and continued their mission across the Asia Pacific Region. That was the last time they saw him. |

Last year when we visited Phnom Penh, Jim and Kathie searched all over to find Sna. In front of the Phnom Penh Hotel we learned that he had been moved to a new route.
Despite all of their efforts we were not able to find him.
This year, Jim and Kathie resumed their search when they visited Cambodia. When they were about to give up, out of the tens of thousands of tuk tuk drivers that line the streets of Phnom Penh, miraculously they got in a random tuk tuk and the driver knew Sna. He took his cell phone and called him.
They set a time to meet. and enjoyed an incredible reunion as he shared the things God is doing in his life. |

After catching up, praying, and fellowshipping, Sna took Kathie out to his tuk tuk. Taking hold of the drivers seat and leaning it forward, he pulled out a worn, well-used Bible. It was the same one they had bought for him years before.
"I read it every day," he shared. It is such a blessing to see how a simple act of kindness can continue to bear fruit. Please pray for Sna, his wife and his six children, (the oldest is 13). May he continue to be best the best tuk tuk driver in Phnom Penh and a light for the gospel to every fare. |
