Bethezer Girls' Dorm is OPEN!!!

The Bethezer girls' dorm has begun with a wonderful feeling of happiness and excitement. On Saturday Nirann and Sithy moved in and took over the position of managers. The boys next door have made all the girls feel so welcome as they have been helping set up the dorms. Nirann came around to BEC and lay down exhausted, complaining about how much had to be done. He had a smile from ear to ear so we don't think he was too worried!
Consequently, our mini seminar on Saturday night had about 40 people in attendance. Warren gave us an inspiring talk about the beatitudes and then Jeannie took over and ran a fun games night. She had great activities with 'girls' against 'boys'. We were happy when the score ended up as a 'tie'. We decided this was a good star

t to the two Bethezer dorms existing side by side...neither the girls or boys will think they are "the best"!
Thank you to all the amazing support that people are giving to supporting this dorm. The girls that you can see in the picture will be developing the same contact with BEC as the boys, fostering their love of God and understanding of His word. They will have early morning prayer studies at the dorm and then come to study the Bible with us at 9am or 2pm, depending on their university commitments, three times a week.
We know your prayers will join with ours that they grow in God's ways.
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

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...
