Well the rainy season seems to be starting…we are having a shower most afternoons which provides a short relief to the humidity. Everything looks so much fresher after a good wash and even the air seems cleaner!!??!!

We went out to LCDI on Thursday and Friday to see how the moving was going from the old site to the new. We were overwhelmed with the energy and enthusiasm that the students have shown in helping their school. We can just imagine the reaction of high school students in Australia if told that they had to pull their school down and then rebuild it over the road. These young people are an absolute inspiration! Even the rain yesterday did not stop them, and most days they are working in temperatures around 35 degrees! Steve got some great videos of the students hard at work! We are hoping to put together a bit of a short movie for them to show on our Tuesday evening visits, once all the moving is complete. The pictures we have included here are only a glimpse of the enormity of the task the school has undertaken. Please remember these young people in your prayers as so many of them would love to come to BEC for Bible study but often Sunday is their only opportunity, and even then we can only cater for about twenty.

We had a great evening this week when we went to Riverside (the touristy part of PP) with the dormers. Most of the students had gone home to the province for the holiday but a few stayed at the dorm, so we thought we would treat them to a night out. We organised tuk tuks and enjoyed an ice-cream together. Steve decided he would brave some of the local delicacies at the food market and actually ate spiders, beetles and crickets! One little boy was most impressed when he gave away the remainder of what he had bought!













We continue to love our work here and pray that you are all able to find a few dollars in your pockets to support ACBM and Bethezer. A little goes such a long way in helping us to share God’s hope with as many people in Cambodia as possible… “just as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us – see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” (2 Corinthians 8:7)
Lynne and Steve

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...
