Today was such a good day! God has chosen Dany to be his daughter. Dany was baptized down at the Mekong at 6 this morning. It was good to see such honest love shared between the Khmer brothers and sisters and the new Dany. Love definitely seems to be their forte. There was a crowd of happy and excited dormers buzzing around, we felt real blessed to share in the moment. Steve and Vitou baptized her after Steve gave a short talk and we read a few relevant passages. We all welcome Dany as our Sister in Christ. It was freezing by Khmer standards, but balmy for the rest of us.
After the baptism we all went to Asian Spice for a mass breakfast. Garry (the restaurant owner) would have been cheering because we pretty much filled the place. We are all so glad to have similing Dany as our sister, and I'm sure Steve and lynne are greatful to have been there too. Lynne had been taking Dany through 1 on 1 classes for a while.
The celebration ended with many sad farewells beacuse Steve and Lynne left later on today. It was evident by the earnest goodbyes how much all the Khmer really appreciated their love and hard work here. The rest of us at the BEC will miss having them around too. Their stability, support, and encouragment was a blessing and helped us to all work as a harmonious team. Also their efforts in setting up new instruction programs has not gone unappreciated.
"Camodian Brothers and Sisters have been very blessed that they try to work very hard teaching about the word of God and showing God's love in their hearts as we learn so much from them."
"Bong Thom, we all understand and see that you want the best for the BEC in Phnom Phenm. That is a very good attitude of our brother; that you support this young ecclessia." (loy, 2009)
The dormers and Mini Seminar attendees finnished the "God's Plan With Man" course last week with Steve and Lynne. Those who attended enough classes are now proud owners of flash certificates which contain portraits, the very official BEC stamp, and a description what has been achieved. So tonight we had a quiz based on the things that they've learnt, and a few games. It was good fun, and such a laugh to see grown men jump up and down in blissful excitment!
So welcome Sister Dany to a new and meanignful life, and many thanks to Steve and Lynne. Just remember that you all are always in our hearts and prayers.
