and here I find myself once again, lying on a comfortable hammock, preparing for my class tonight on Goals in our life and the importance of a vision. Brother Vitou is on the hammock on the other side of the pole my hammock is tied to. he just lying there listening to music. the music is humming in the air. The sky is a beautiful deep blue colour and I think about God's coming Kingdom as I watch the tropical sunset across Phnom Penh city. I can't wait.

Life continues in Cambodia as normal. Whatever you'd like to define normal as over here. The BEC is still busy with teaching and learning themselves. I'm still loving living at the dorms. and continuing to build closer relationships with the boy and girl dormers. and all the brothers and sisters. Its been a good week. like usual its been a hectic week. unfortunately there is so many things to do , and just not enough time. including writing blogs. I don't have time to put any photos up at the moment. but I'll put some up of the tropical sunset from the roof a little bit later.

Kimsreams son is getting married this afternoon. The BEC and some of the brothers and sisters and attending that. I'm going to stay back and hold the fort as we still continue Saturday night at the dorms. I haven't thought about a lesson for that yet. and I've still got to finish preparing my exhortation for tomorrow. as well as teach a 2 hour lesson in 2 hours and then another 2 hour lesson immediately after that. So I might say Chum Reap Sewer quite quickly today. I might also try and get some other people to write more blogs, and I might cut down.

please keep praying for us. we all need Gods strength and guidance in our lives. especially here in Cambodia as so many people are looking at the bible more closely for themselves. We have been really blessed with such a good opportunity over here. please, please involve yourself in someway. Cambodia needs your prayers.

Praya Botene Po Ner Dang Och Near. (God Bless everyone)

Akune Cheran.

If its Gods will (and hopefully it is) I might see you all in Zion tomorrow.

Love in our soon returning King, Savior, Brother and Perfecter

Brother Jonno

the world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever

Jonno,

You really are an inspiration. You sound a little tired though. You should take out some time just for yourself too. Thinking of you back here and always love your blogs even if they are just small that is Ok.
"Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life-and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him" Rom12 MSG I think you motivate us all to do this. Dan P.

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...
