Small next steps of Ecclesia Growing (BEC2)

We give thanks for a time of blessing on Sunday with our brothers and sisters and a few contacts here in Sihanoukville.

In the past the timing of the Sunday worship has been moved around a lot for various reasons and could take place anywhere between a Thursday and a Sunday. But recently some of our students have been asking 'When/where do we worship? Can I come?' So we have decided to make a big effort to hold the weekly worship at a regular time so that students can attend and participate/witness this important part of our community life.

Sunday 22nd June was our first occasion: 5:30pm! The weather was horrendous - torrential rain for most of the day, but to our amazement 4 keen students joined us for the first time at our memorial [Chan & Chanty, Srey Mom(who came with 3 small children she was baby-sitting) & Rotha]. All seemed to enjoy the singing and the exhortation on the life of Jacob.

We are thankful for all the hard work put in by bro Sophorn and sis Srey Pov who showed great hospitality and provided us with a lovely fellowship meal afterwards.

We believe this is a small step, but an important one in the growth of an ecclesia here at BEC2. We hope more will join with time, God Willing, so they can get to know everyone else. Some students are making encouraging progress in their appreciation of the Truth. We pray that Sundays will now provide the opportunity to grow their sense of a family/ecclesia they will want to belong to as part of their journey of Faith.

With love in our Lord,

Bro Rob, sis Rachelle & family

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...
