Greetings from the land of Angkor!

Every Saturday night after the seminar the brothers get together for our weekly bonding session in the form of football. The footwork shown by everyone on the field is incredible. Thus each week proves an exhilarating display of high pace action, an epic means of keeping fit and also an ever-excellent excuse to keep healthy throughout the week so you can perform on game day!

After chowing down our delicious meal prepared for us by the caring dormers all of the Bon-Bros pile up three per moto as to scoot down to the field and get stuck in. I have yet to hear of a stomach upset complaint mid game even though we tend to start playing only 10 minutes after eating!

The teams are the Dormers verse the Older brothers; this tends to make the game a brains verses brawn scenario. Examples of this are the perfect passing triangle composed of Sokea, Punleu and Puthsa for the Dormers and the fearsome ‘strong one’ kicks of old boy - Vanny for which all of the Dormers flail in panic. Also on the old boys team are Tut, renowned for his behind the back ball recoveries, Veasna(Big) – team steamroller and Vitou the bearer of bad luck who has yet to win a game whilst playing for the side (even though he is perhaps the most competent player on the field). In the Dormer line-up is THE BEST goalkeeper I have ever shot against - Samath, cornerstone defender – Tona and the hilarious handball brothers – Bong Him and Channa, DAI DAI DAI!

We are so blessed to be able to come together and enjoy each other’s company and we thank God for the awesome community he has given us making it all possible.

Cheers,

Zakk.

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...

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...
