50 kilometers away from Kok Thmey is Run Ta Ek (pronounced as Roun Ta Ark), an eco-village set up by the Cambodian government. Many villagers have been relocated there to start a new life and a new community. This presents an opportunity for Love-A-Village to share the message of Christ’s love and reconciliation with God to a wider audience.
In Run Ta Ek, our dedicated brothers and sisters in Cambodia have been actively ministering to the villagers. About 24 children regularly participate in Sunday School, where they learn about God and His wondrous deeds under the guidance of three devoted teachers: Matha, Dalin, and Dalen. The teachers enjoy meeting the children to nurture their love for God and others.
A vibrant church has also been established there, led by Pastor Yin Olyda. The bright blue building stands out from the village and the community of 73 members are beacons that shine their light brightly for all in Run Ta Ek. The church welcomes all to worship and experience God’s love through the community.
It is our prayer that the Spirit will fall upon this village and immerse the people in the knowledge of Christ. Join us in prayer to support the labourers in the village.
