Hi all

were back on line after been almost splattered by the traffic last night, where jonno, loy and me went for a pushy bike ride down to riverside after a birthday tea for sammy (el mundo)...and i only had 3 banana mikeshakes, shy of my record of 5 (in a day)

sammy, rosie, kylie and myself were down in seanookville (beach) on the weekend (a week ago) and had a great time, just relaxing

so today is monday, monday for a fieldworker in cambodia equals a day off for us.
for me it equals a sleep in :)

tonight i go and stay at the dorms, as i am taking a class with tha baptised to teach them leadership etc, so they are able to get up and teach, especcially lcdi sunday school

we were at the dorm last night at we did the holy spirit gifts and what they doo all week is research to hit you with questions about the specific subject (hehe) - so jonno and i took one class and michael took th other class and they had really good arguments so we'll be going out next week to talk more about the gifts :)

so i want to send up a few little notes, which i took during the bible school on a few of the brothers, which did a small talk, so here goes



Hem Vanny - The Good Samaritan
  • the priest, robber, levite were all jews
  • even tho someone is from another race/culture/society ie cambodia and veitnam, we have to accept them and help them as they are or brothers and sisters - unity
  • Prov 27 v 17 - helping each other
  • the lowley helped the poor man
  • Heb 10 v 25 - as christians we have to help each other and love
  • Matt 5 v 43-44 - love enimies is how we become in the family of god
  • dont follow your heart - follow jesus'

Menh Him - Salvation

  • John 14v6 - JC the way the truth the life - the only way to the kingdom is through JC
  • he is the light of life
  • Eph 2 v 8-9 - salvation is throught faith
  • its a gift of god and it cant be earnt
  • you have to understand the word of god
  • trust in jc - admit that you are a sinner (rom 3 v 23) all have sinned
  • Rom 5 v 12, John 1 v 25
  • god cannot lie
  • repentance - turn around our thinking - god can save
  • luke 13 v 5 repent or die - never enter the kingdom, believe he died and was raised from the dead
  • john 3 v 16 god loved the world to let jc die on the cross
  • so do a little bit more loving

Kunthea - Forgiveness

  • all have sinned and need forgiveness
  • god will always forgive
  • psm 32 - admit and try to change
  • make sure its from the heart
  • if you admit you are able to be forgiven
  • jc sacrificed his life so we can be forgiven
  • study the bible
  • you have a choice - right or wrong
  • you will be happy cos you have no sin after forgiveness
  • its the heart that needs to be cleansed
  • god is always there
  • parable of the casting of the first stone
  • jc was the only one who had the right to stone the lady because he had no sin
  • take a leaf out of jc's book - start forgiving others

Keo Nirann - Jesus the Mediator

  • Nirann commented that he was happy to talk :)
  • JC is the son of god - our salvation
  • immortal after ressurection
  • power to do all things from god
  • we need someone in the middle who we can relate to
  • christians have all sinned right back to adam
  • cant earn salvation "help your own self"
  • there are many idols in cambodia - mainly buddah
  • if you are a monk you will be saved
  • but, idols cannot help you as they cannot help themselves - made of wood and stone
  • god made man not man made god
  • do you know you can sell god, get a bargin for a discounted god put it in your pocket and it becomes a smelly god :)
  • jc is alive, buddah aint
  • jc died for us - we cant save ourselves, so just believe in what jc showed and youll be saved
  • buddah just sits there collecting dust
  • through jc we are saved - 1 tim 2 v 5
  • hes the way, truth, life and you cant go to god except through him
  • heb 5 v 7-8 - he loves even tho hes a man - he know what we suffered and he asked god that we may be in the kingdom
  • "he loves us very very much"
  • and he didnt want us to suffer so he suffered for us

Kosal - Baptism of JC

  • luke 3 v 2-22
  • v 3 and 8 repent - change/turnaround your thinking/mind and your heart
  • john the baptist told the people to change
  • before being baptised you need to repent
  • john prepared a way for repentance
  • matt 25 v 1-13 - 10 virgins - we have to be prepared for when jc is coming
  • john 1 v 19-34
  • please look, its the lamb of god that takes your sins away
  • jc was baptised to show us an example
  • he wanted to please god
  • lesson - repent and recieve jc now - don tbe lie them 5 virgins

Khoem Long Ang - Natural body

  • christmas is the birth of jc
  • holy spirit created jc
  • gal 4 v 4
  • god loved the earth very much that sent his son
  • to save us from sin
  • luke 1 v 26-35 - how
  • matt 1 v 19-25
  • mary gave bith in bethleham in a stable
  • luke 2 v 4-7
  • he was born a man so we could relate to him and then move closer to god

the most amazing thing was they all did it in english and it was an amazing experence at the bible school

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...
