Hello from Rachelle and Gracie


It is so nice to be over in another country and to be helping more people hear about the good news. We are having an awesome time here, experiencing many new and exciting things. Cambodia is so different in many ways: the people, traffic, food, clothing, buildings, shops and lifestyles. We have found the people to be so loving and friendly. They are happy, kind, caring and welcoming. They like to laugh and we love to join them! It is so encouraging to see such excitement, interest and enthusiasm for the Truth! We have been inspired by great lessons. Helping others learn about God’s Word helps us to feel God’s love and guidance more in our lives. We feel so extremely blessed to be here.

We have both felt a little bit nervous and unsure at times, but we both feel a lot of joy and happiness from being with such beautiful people around God’s Word. We have made many awesome friendships that we hope will grow as we wait for Christ to come.
We have enjoyed spending time at the BEC, the LCDI School and the dorms. We have had heaps of fun so far!
We love being at the dorms and getting to know the dormers better. At the memorial meeting there on Sunday, we were up lifted with the sweet singing and guitar playing for the hymns! It sounded beautiful and made us feel joyful!
“This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
We have joined in on a lot of studies about eternal life and the resurrection. It is a moving subject and we cannot wait until Christ returns: the dead will be raised and we will have everlasting joy, peace and happiness, God willing!

There has been a buzz of excitement at the dorms and BEC as we now have a tuk-tuk! Vanny and K are the drivers and are doing a great job so far, no one has been injured!!!

On our trip back to the BEC after the morning lessons at the dorms on Tuesday, we had to take a photo of Kim preparing for his lesson, as Steve told us that it was quite rare and that everyone would have to see photographic evidence to believe it. So here you have it.



Please remember God’s beautiful Khmer children in your prayers. Rejoice and be thankful!
Gracie & Rachelle xoxo

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...
