the Nutter's time in Cambodia

hey all
this is Jonno Nutter signing in from the BEC, Phnom Pehn. I'm going to sum up the last 5 weeks I've been here in Cambodia in a simple phrase. Cambodia has been awsome. I arrived here on the last day of December with Dan Wilstoncroft. since then it hasn't really stopped. I've spent heaps of time at the dorms, and there its an absolute spiritual feast. Some of the Dormers have been going through the soul and spirit with me, its been an incredibly exciting journey, to see their old church foundations being shaken and the realisation that there is the possibility of some ideas that are very different but right being taught by us. The relationships I've built there has been incredible. And the most exciting part of it is I'm not leaving for Brisbane tomorrow. I'm going to continue here in Cambodia until mid Febuary, teaching at the dorms, at LCDI, and sharing beautiful fellowship with my brothers and sisters here in Cambodia.

We've had the bible school, and the P2P week before hand. these were both excellent, and I know that most of the Australian young people left here with the desire to return to Cambodia again. The team I was in was lead by Sarah Vogel "Bon Capitan", we went right out to rural Cambodia to "rough it". It was an amazing experience. I had never tried chicken head before :D. preaching out there in the provinces was a real eye opener. we had an hour and a half talk lead by Brothers Geoff Watson, Ben Topham and myself. Ben spoke about Creation, Geoffe about Jesus, and I finished off with the death, ressurection and return of Jesus, telling them what the kingdom will be like and how much we need that time. may it come soon. hopefully I'll see you, the reader, tomorrow in Jerusalem at Christs feet. If not sooner. God Bless.

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...
