We have been very fortunate this week to have our first visitor from Australia, Luke. Luke went out of his way to detour from Bangkok on his way to take up a new position in the United States and we really appreciated the five days that he spent with us. The young men from Bethezer dorm really enjoyed their time with Luke, taking him to Olympic Stadium for a run and sharing time with him around God’s word. Nirann insisted on taking Luke on his moto around the sights of the city. He exhorted today at our worship service about prayer, particularly the Lord’s prayer. We had about twenty people including Gaye, Sithy, Nirann, Niratt and dormers. Loy was away this weekend at a cousin’s wedding and Him is still away for a few more Sundays for his practicum. Thanks Luke for your company and support!

Steve has started running a first principles class on Sunday afternoon which is well attended. One of our contacts from the province who visits each month, Veasna, joined in, as well, today.

Funny quotes for the week:
Steve (to Veasna after a delicious meal cooked by Gaye): Did you get enough to eat?
Veasna: Ohhh ... too much. Not only enough ...TOO enough!!!
Also noticed an interesting name on a jeweller’s shop nearby. What the…

Our ladies group on Sunday afternoons is growing. We had about eight participants this weekend and have decided to use the Sunday class to present the Cambodian version of Learn to Read the Bible Effectively. Response to the first lesson was very positive so, God willing, our efforts will bear fruit. It was fortunate that Sithy was home from the province to translate with Loy away. “God is good” as Vanny says!

Love the "what the" mum... nice one, I'll send it in to ROVE!
So good that Lukeda was over there, I bet he really enjoyed it and I bet the dormers loved having a young guy around.
About to send you an e-mail.
Love loz xo

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...
