We have just got back from the Bethezer boys dorm. A group of 14 uni students and their dorm manager all attend a 6am morning prayer and Bible instruction session. We have been working through the Lord’s Prayer sheet, looking at literal and dynamic equivalents to more fully understand each line that Jesus taught his disciples. We left with a wonderful feeling!



A new family has joined our studies. The father is participating in studies with LCDI students on Sundays and in a week’s time his 2 children, a 12 year old son and 13 year old daughter will be attending Sunday School. Even the taxi driver who brought the LCDI students to BEC sat in on the lessons last Sunday!









In response to requests from LCDI students to study the Bible more we have started an exciting new initiative. We will provide two bicycles for four students to ride to BEC from the school twice a week. These students have shown great interest and there are more who would like to come. The ride from the LCDI school will take about half and hour. This is part of an attempt to integrate students from LCDI with students from the dorm (“dormers”). Loy has been busy cooking some great Cambodian seeds and nuts for the students, as a snack (brain food) for when they come to study…this has been a great success!
We have enjoyed our trips to the market with Loy to buy food. It is an amazing experience and we get lost in the maze of food, clothes and anything you can think of!
We are feeling so blessed to be experiencing this wonderful country and we appreciate, so much, all the encouragement and prayers we are receiving from home, particularly our brothers and sisters from our own ecclesia on the Gold Coast and our precious family.

Steve & Lynne, Lovely to have been able to talk to you and see you tonight. God is indeed doing great things in Cambodia.

All those lovely seeds and beans look so yummy. I hope you manage to suck seed!

May our Lord bless you and watch over you.

Love from John, Anne, & Deb.

Maybe I'm just a girl

Well, dear Readers, Things have been busy here with preparation for our seminar this weekend. Catering, printing, emailing and phoning have been occupying our hours. James is sitting opposite me on the table working on his talks for Friday. We have had quite a number of bookings for our seminar and the numbers have only been limited by the size of our premises. God willing, all will attend and we’ll have a good two days of talks and chatting. We’re planning, God willing, a boat cruise as our social activity and that should be a blast since we can have a 2 hour cruise for 50 people for only $20. Have managed to hook up skype credit and tested a mobile call to Prydie. The 5 second lag meant it was like having two random monologues in the same room. The prices was fairly reasonable, but even as 3 cents a minute the cost climbs. James spends much time out on the balcony. He gets good wireless reception. It's quite a amusing to peek through the window and see James out on the balcony wa...

God Proves the Power of Prayer Again and Again

By
Over the course of my five-month long Cambodia trip I had the opportunity to teach class es at the Bethezer girl dorm regularly . For th ese class es I have a translator so I just get to teach the good news ( none of this dilly-dallying about English teaching ). Our topic on this particular night was prayer. Philippians 4:6 reminded us that God is longing to hear from us just as a father lo ves to hear from his child or how we are just hanging out to get a message from someone we love. We looked at H is promises to answer ALL our prayers while we abide in Jesus Christ (John 15:7) and at Psalm 34:4 where God confidently affirms that when you find your happiness with God, H e will certainly give you more of what makes you happy (Him!). And you can pray for that happiness because God will give you anything that brings you closer to Him so never be afraid to ask! That is nothing but i ncredibly good news ! We raced through many more quotes and I had expected to strug...
