P2P Preaching Activities
After the tour finished for a couple of days to welcome and introduce about Cambodia, we then started our preaching plan which we had prepared beforehand. We had set 4 places for our main areas for P2P to preach. We included General Health Lessons, First Aid lessons, singing and of course Bible lessons as our main purpose that we all wanted to preach.
Those 4 main places were:
  1.          Phnom Penh city -  First day of preaching
One team who stayed in Phnom Penh city took responsibility to teach in 3 areas including Phnom Penh city BEC, Bethezer dormitory, Leadership Characteristic Development Institute (LCDI) and Kampong Spue province where we run the Sunday school with 120 Kids attending late last year. We taught LCDI students Bible, First Aid and Singing. There were about 40 students attended the class.

Singing and dancing
The next day, we rented a mini van to Kampong Spue province to teach Sunday school down there. We spent about two hours with the kids. We taught Bible, singing and played games with them. There are about 70 kids attended the class. We also taught First Aid at the dorm.

      2.        Siem Reap Province, hand work
 Bro So Veasna recently just moved from Kampong Cham province to Siem Reap for a few month ago. Because of his work situation he needed move. He bought a small block of land and started to build a small house but it is not finished yet he because ran out of money. When P2P went to visit his house on the way back to Phnom Penh city, they saw his hardship living without enough pure water to drink, no bathroom to use, no bed to sleep…etc. P2P thought how can we help him and his family? No doubt, they came together to discussed  this issue and came up with a brilliant idea to help him finish the important part of his house that was not done yet such as bathroom, concrete where they can sleep without breathing in dust anymore and digging a well for getting pure water to drink so they can have good health. P2P contributed their own money into this project to help them but not helping only with money, they went down there to do the work directly by their hands. We are appreciated very much for their “no conditions’’ love.

Bro Sophorn and Bro Sophea who live and work over there had organized students from a different areas to come for a special seminar. 44 young people turned up for the seminar. Bro Sophorn first conducted a topic about personal development concepts which are interspersed by Biblical examples and parables from P2P demonstrating the wisdom of the Bible. They spent a whole day studying, eating food, and had a lovely time together. The next day, they went to a poor village which is a bit far from the town to preach people about God. Next trip was to Preah Vichear province to visit our isolated sister who live and works there.  She moved there after she graduated Uni from Phnom Penh city and got job there. P2P had a memorial meeting with her and had a lovely dinner together. Next morning, they went straight to Kampong Cham province to see Bro Rathana who work there and also one important contact who has learn the Bible every weekend by a Field Worker from the BEC. P2P taught them one hour and did another memorial meeting with them and said goodbye to get to Phnom Penh at night in the same day of arriving.

When P2P arrived at Sihanoukville, the next day, they started designing a leaflet and handout to students in different universities and schools. 1000 leaflets went from their hand to people. Finally, students turned up to the seminar in a good number. From that time till now, new students have been increasing for BEC2. That was a very good job P2P had done through handout leaflets, including advertising about BEC2.

At the end of my report, I would like to say thank you very much for all the P2P team who dedicated their time and money to come to Cambodia to help different kinds of work where we all can see through these photos and of course, WCF and ACMB who funded the project. We are members of the Ecclesia in Cambodia who appreciated very much from the bottom of our hearts to experience what a brilliant job you did in our country and we all hope that we will see you all on earth one more time if not of course, in the Kingdom of God.

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...
