Sang is my friend and a Tuk-tuk driver in Cambodia, living between Siem Reap and the Thai border. His work involves driving a motorcycle that pulls a covered wagon with seats—a common way for people to get around in Cambodia. Just yesterday, Sang told me that a Thai F16 flew over his house, and although it bombed a different area, the threat is very real for him and his family. His home sits right on the road leading to the border, a route now crowded with people fleeing violence.

Recently, I sent Sang some money in case the war came closer and he needed to escape with his family. Instead of keeping the money for himself, Sang used it to buy bottled water and food for refugees passing by his home. Now, with the Thai military bombing nonmilitary areas and killing civilians, many people are fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Sang has been handing out what little he can—water, boiled eggs, and crackers—to families and children who might otherwise go hungry that day.

I know that a bottle of water or a simple meal won’t fix anyone’s problems, but sometimes, a small act of kindness can mean everything to someone in need. If you are a Christian, can I be bold enough to ask that the tithe you would have given to church this week, could you send it to help these people? It is a small kindness, but it would help. Thank you for considering a gift to support Sang and the refugees he’s helping.
