Cambodia Update
School
We continue to study God’s word without dangers of COVID-19. Our country has not suffered as much as the rest of the world and so we are taking advantage of that and continuing to meet and grow in God’s word.
Some of our students have had to go home and help out with their families during this time, but we hope they will be able to return soon. One of our young lady students had her motorbike stolen right here at the school, but the church and staff and student body has helped her to pay for the lost bike - she owed over $2,000. We are a family so we help out one another in everything.
Our school classes currently involve the Major Prophets and Lesson Development. We also have special classes taught in the evenings for the new students who need some foundational building blocks before taking the more advanced classes.
Zoom chapels continue on Wednesday mornings with the Bible School at Battambang. Brother Wes and both staffs rotate speaking lessons to the men while sister Teri teaches the ladies on Women of the Bible. On Friday mornings we zoom with Brother Wes for another chapel lesson.
The staff meets on Friday evenings with brother Wes and we discuss interesting Bible questions and pray for our families and the students and their needs.
We are involved in Service Days where we go and help the other small churches and their neighbors with anything they might need. Encouraging, feeding and praying for them. It is a good thing for us to be involved as it shows us how to serve and it show the Buddhist people how Christians act.
Church
As the ministry of Religion has banned all the churches in Cambodia worship in small groups during COVID-19, we decided to meet up in two groups. After the pandemic decreased in spreading, we decided to meet up in the church building with all the church members.
The nutritional program has been put on pause since COVID-19 has happened, so the organizers decided to save three months budget to buy some food such as rice bags, noodles, hygiene products, and also some cooking ingredients. Most of the church members and IBISR families have joined this special charity event. We not only provided this food for Christians but also for the unbelievers. We have worked with the village chiefs to coordinate and so far we have helped out about 120 families.
Prayers
We need your prayers for these things:
• Recently we have had terrible flooding throughout our country and it has taken lives, food, and jobs away from the people.
• Our students who have many questions about God, the Bible and their souls.
• Our school and church leaders who must take care of all our needs and lead in a Godly way.
Appreciation
We could do nothing without your support. We have the same Lord who always strengthens us.
