A pleasant greeting from Cambodia.
IBISR’s Academy
Piseth Rin, our co-director, has finished his class in the book ‘’LEVITICUS’’. Our co-director, Darat Run, has completed the class ‘’Fundamental of the church II’’.
Joining a Wedding Party
Since early March, most church members went to join Sean and Synam's wedding party, which was celebrated in Srey Snorm District, Siem Reap, Cambodia. Both Sean (pronounced see-un) and Synam (pronounced see-nime) are graduates of IBISR. The ceremony was performed in a Christian way and the traditional way. Please keep this new Christian couple in your prayers as they will face many difficulties with families to remain faithful, but they continue to worship with our family at Siem Reap.
A Seminar in Phnom Penh
On the 08th of March, which is International Women’s Day, most of us when to join a seminar in Phnom Penh city which was organized by the Best Center. We gained a lot of knowledge from the words of God, especially since we have built an amazing friendship as brethren in Christ.
A Substitute Teaching
Earlier in March, since brother Phanat has a significant task to complete, he asked our teacher named Piseth Rin to replace him in teaching the book of Hebrew through a virtual class (Zoom Cloud Meetings) for E412 Center which is in Battambang province.
This is how we help teach one another, grow in spirit and keep in touch with other Christians as we encourage each other.
Public Holiday (Khmer New Year)
Since Cambodians haven’t celebrated the Khmer New Year for the last two years, and all the students cannot visit their families during this public holiday, the government allowed us to celebrate again this year. We allowed our students to visit their families and relatives during this special occasion.
Bible Chapel Class
We are so grateful to our coordinator named Wes Autrey and his wife named Teri Autrey for sharing valuable God's words in both female and male classes through virtual meetings every Tuesday and Friday.
We also have another meeting every Wednesday with our brethren from Phnom Penh, Battambang, and Siem Reap. We rotate each teacher each week. We continue to understand God’s will for all of us through God’s Word presented by different members of the church. You can see bong Wes’ father Roger Autrey from Garfield, teaching one of these chapels.
Bible Short Course
After Khmer New Year, all of our students and staff went straight to the Bible school to join a class with our coordinator (Wes). Typically, during Khmer New Year we have a two-week break, yet we couldn’t wait to meet and study with him, so we had only one week's break.
In the class, we had a wonderful time and gained knowledge from him regarding our relationship with God.. We all thank and appreciate his visit. Bong Wes also coordinated a series of 4 chapel lessons from different teachers in the U.S. Each lesson had something to do with our personal relationship with God. We would then discuss these lessons with bong Wes. We appreciate;ciate all the men who led us in each study.
Service Work
We continue to help our brothers and sisters in any way we can physically - so that we can also help them in spiritual matters and encouragement.
Asking Prayers
Without your prayers and support, we can't do all of this. Please keep our work and plan in your prayers, especially for our new mothers and newborn babies.
Servant of God,
