You never know where the seeds will take root

A report on the effect of addressing one small group. The seed spread to one other person and affected an entire community.

I had the chance to speak to a small home church group last summer to present the Y2K scenario. These folks are aware of judgement and know it is coming. They heard and have been preparing.

One of their outreaches has been to the Cambodian community throughout the years helping them to settle in, etc. One of the Cambodian community leaders has a weekly radio two hour program which ties the community together. One person from the home group ran into the fellow and said 'we have just heard something which would be of concern to your people' and explained the situation to him. In about 10 minutes he GI.

He said he would broadcast the word in an instructive way to his people. Today all the Cambodian people are now fully prepped in this city. And I assume that the word has also spread widely from here through their various contacts between cities here in the USA.

These people have been through the breakdown of a society. They know what it means. They know by experience that one day things can be OK and the next your whole city is being exvacuated to the country side for slave labor camps or being shot. They can hear this word to prepare because they have been through the fire in recent memory.

It is good to know that some people as a group will be prepared.

I do not think they expect that, but they know what happens when things stop working. They have painful memories which warn them 'all may appear well, but you never know'.
