Outreach Weekend

By
This weekend we had an Outreach programme happening. This is for students who previously came to the BEC to study but have had to move back to the province for some reason or other. So we arrange for them to come back to Phnom Penh to the BEC usually once a month for a concentrated weekend full of lessons. This month four boys – Theary, Chaileng, Sokun, and Peakday – were able to attend.

This time it has fallen on the King’s Birthday Holidays. So on Friday night we all went out to a park and enjoyed watching the fireworks for the King and seeing all the other sorts of things that were happening to celebrate it. Everyone enjoyed the time out in the warm evening air.
This weekend the lessons were on Baptism, Life in Christ and the Commandments of Christ. Which seems to have gone down very well and they are very interested. When not teaching the outreach students we were busy preparing and teaching other classes.

The highlight would have to have been Saturday evening, which we spent up on the top balcony, complete with hammocks and a spread of desserts – much to everyone’s delight. Several of the girls from the dorms came and joined us too. So there’s was lots of fun, laughter, teasing and joking, and some serious conversation too, about the consequences of being followers of 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...
