BEC Lessons Resume

We had a wonderful session back at the dorm this evening for our regular Saturday night mini seminar. Everyone was full of fun and laughter and there was a great feeling of togetherness and joy in sharing God's words. We are just about finished our study of God's Plan with Man - one more session to go next week. At the completion of these studies we will award certificates to those students who have regularly attended. Next Saturday night will be our last session and also the last mini seminar for us before heading back to Australia, we are so happy that God has blessed us here and allowed us to have this time to study and learn with such wonderful people.

We had a fantastic couple of days in Kratie province with sister Nirath's family. We had to cross the Mekong River in a ferry which was a great experience. The people in her village were so welcoming and we have never seen so many children together with beaming smiles and excitement. Fun and laughter certainly crosses all language barriers and we shared so much with the children, swimming together each day in the Mekong and playing lots of games. Nirath spoilt us with delicious Khmer food and we all enjoyed a trip to see the Irrawaddy dolphins in their natural habitat. On the way we called into brother Kosal's village to visit his dad.

Lara and Samee had a great time in Siem Reap with Loy and took the mandatory hundred or so photographs of the temples to share with loved ones on their return home!

We are looking forward to lessons resuming at BEC this week after most of our students return from time in their provinces over the holiday. Joel arrives tomorrow so it will be great to have another pair of hands to help with the teaching.

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...
