A new day!

6:30 am Sunday 28th March 2010.




As night gives way to day, darkness to light, Cambodia is blessed with yet another shining light in this place declaring a way of life and truth that remains the same regardless of time and culture.

Our new brother, named Day, has been regularly attending bible studies with field workers, mainly with our American brother Gary, and demonstrated in his baptism interview a solid grounding in the 1st principles with a genuine commitment to follow his Lord.

The baptism involved an early morning rise and several relocations along the river bank until a suitable place was found without too many people, too many smells or too much pollution.

Here, with his brothers, sisters and friends standing on the bank and brethren Gary and Vitou standing in the water along side him, Day clearly said ‘I do’ and was lowered into the murky water before coming out a new brother.

The group that went broke out in a suitable song lead by sister Loy, ‘this is the Day that the Lord has made’. We pray for our Lords blessing on brother Day, that he will grow to love and find his place in the ecclesia here, confident that he which hath begun a good work in Day will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Isn't it a good day to have someone join Gods family and have a new Brother in our Lord Jesus Christ!

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...
