We are thrilled to share the latest updates of lives being transformed by the Gospel. Your unwavering support and prayers have been instrumental in our journey, and we hope this update encourages you in your faith and support for the villages.
Peam English School
The teachers recently held a parents’ meeting with an impressive 90% attendance. Parents were overjoyed to see the progress their children were making in school. This strong turnout allowed the teachers to build positive relationships with the families, and we pray that this would bring opportunities to share the gospel to the parents.
As the teachers prepare for the new school year starting in November 2024, they request for your prayers. The team is diligently reviewing lesson plans and materials to ensure the students are able to understand and learn well both the English language and Christian values. Please pray for wisdom and guidance as they make these preparations.
Peam Sunday School
One of the Sunday School children, Sok Puey, shared a testimony that inspired her class and strengthened their faith in God who answers prayers. Sok Puey’s grandfather was seriously ill and required surgery for hernia. Despite the initial surgery revealing a blood clot that required a second operation, Sok Puey remained steadfast in prayer.
After another checkup, the doctor found that the second surgery was no longer needed, and her grandfather was discharged with just medication! Praise be to God for His miraculous healing!
One prayer request from Peam is for the children who have been experiencing skin problems. The school is planning to educate the kids on proper hygiene and to provide medication to treat and clear the parasites from their skin. Your prayers for their healing and well-being are greatly appreciated.
Kok Thmey Sunday School
The church is currently undergoing renovation, and the children are worshipping under a tent in the meantime. This temporary setup has not dampened their spirits, and they look forward to the completion of the renovations.
One thanksgiving is the transformation of one of their students who previously disrupted Sunday School lessons. He had undergone a remarkable transformation and is now a cherished helper in the school. This change has been a great encouragement to our teachers, reaffirming their dedication to guiding children towards transformed lives through Christ.
Another thanksgiving is for the recent purchase of Holy Communion elements, which will be used for the church Holy Communion services. This practice serves as a powerful reminder of Christ’s sacrifice and the redemption and sanctification of believers.
Skun Sunday School
In Skun, many of the children were unable to attend school due to objections from parents or because they were needed to help out on the farm or at home. Please pray that God will watch over these children, keep their faith strong, and soften their parents’ hearts to allow them to attend Sunday School. For the remaining children, the team is thankful for the transformed lives of students who are now eager to serve each other in Sunday school.
Run Ta Ek Sunday School
God has touched the children to pray and worship boldly. Many have started to sing and pray out loud. Please pray that this outward display of their faith will continue to stem from the inward working of the Spirit in their lives.
Youth Discipleship Groups at Peam, Skun and Phnom Krom
The leaders were grateful for the youth revival camp, where youths from different churches and some non-believers attended a three-day camp. Thank God for the renewal of faith and the seeds of the gospel planted in the hearts of those who have yet to believe.
The groups are also thankful for answered prayers, with students achieving good results in their studies and gaining wisdom to live their lives right before God.
Please pray that they will grow more in their knowledge of who God is and that their love for Him will deepen. Pray also for the protection of their faith amidst persecution and attacks from the evil one.
Food of Love
From a recent outreach, the number of women attending the weekly bible study has grown from 15 to 26. Thank God that the message of the Gospel continues to spread and touch more lives.
We pray that this update has encouraged you in your prayers for the villagers. Whether through prayer, volunteering, or financial support, your involvement makes a difference. Thank you for being a part of our mission. May God bless you abundantly!
