Visit to brothers and sisters by Pisey, Richard and Sienghai, 16-20 June 2018

We travelled to Siem Reap on Saturday morning and stayed at the ecclesial house. On Saturday evening, we had worship with Loy, Daran and Sokhorn, Veasna and Soklin, and their families. Richard gave the exhort, translated by Sienghai.
On Sunday, we travelled by bus to Kampong Thom and then to Rovieng. Because of the holiday weekend, Sophorn and Chantrea were there to visit family, so they invited us to visit. We spent time with them, and went to Sophorn’s land to plant some trees. It was good to see Sophea’s new baby as well. Others who live in Rovieng were away in Phnom Penh or busy with farm work. In the evening, we went back to Kampong Thom and stayed in a guest house.
Monday was a public holiday, so Vichhem was not working. We met her in Kampong Thom town, along with Meas Savvy, his wife and son. We had drinks at a café and then went to a hammock restaurant by the lake for worship. Sienghai was chairman, Richard gave the exhort, and Pisey translated. Savvy and his wife are living near Kampong Thom town at the moment; the sugar factory in Preah Vihear city where they work is closed until the harvest is ready. It was very good to see Savvy, as he had not met other brothers since Richard and Tha Van visited last year. The original plan was also to see Saory and Phab, but they were not able to come because of work.
On Monday afternoon, we went back to Phnom Penh. Sienghai had to stay for classes, but Pisey and Richard travelled on to Sihanoukville on Tuesday morning. In the evening, we had a Bible class a small group including Chanty, Sreymom, Savy, Theung and Chan. They were looking forward to the arrival of Jon who was coming the next day. We stayed at the BEC overnight, and then came back to Phnom Penh. We had also planned to visit the farm in Kampong Speu, but we decided there was not enough time because we were travelling by bus.
Thanks to God for safe journeys and that our trip was successful. It was good to spend time meeting and chatting with brothers and sisters, and also for we three brothers to spend time together. If other brothers and sisters want to plan visits to see each other, it is not too difficult and there may be some money in the budget if you speak to EMT.

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...
