Dear Supporters

How are you and your family doing? How is the weather in your country? Recently, it has been raining a lot in Siem Reap, but I am grateful for everything because God provides  water for the farmers. My family and I are doing well. I have started my Bible class and everything is going well. I am encouraged by the words of God and happy to have the chance to meet other people who are serving the Lord in different places in Cambodia. 

English School

Our school is doing well. Teachers have tried their best to teach their students. 79% of students come regularly, but a few students have dropped out, mostly because of their family situation. This month, we encountered some problems because the state school had added an extra day of PE into the school timetable. Students had to miss one English class as a result. However, to enable students not to miss a lesson, I have rescheduled, temporarily, that affected students will study 1-2PM and 2-3PM every Monday.

I had a meeting with all school principals in Pouk District Department Hall. The meeting is about encouraging all schools to develop digital learning. The Deputy District Governor said that in the future, our country will need to be able to help students study at home, so digital learning will help a lot. However, he understands that in the village there is no Internet, so it will be still difficult for the school to do that. I wonder what then will the Ministry of Education do to help villages. 

I would like to share one student’s story. His name is Vichai – he is 10-year-old and in grade 3B. He shared with us that after learning that in Jesus Christ, there is no fear because God is faithful, he became much less fearful. He was afraid of ghosts, and has heard that when people die, they will become ghosts and will frighten the living. So, we told him to pray whenever he was afraid. He did, and he told us that he felt peace when he prayed. I pray that his faith will continue to grow.

Peam Sunday School

We have about 50 to 60 students coming for Sunday School every week, and quite a lot more when we have celebrations. This month, we taught students how to bravely testify of Jesus and to pray like Jesus. Students learnt why and how to pray and to tell others about God. However, they will need to experience God’s presence in their lives first before they can tell others about God. We also printed the Lord’s prayer and the ten commandments for them to remember. We heard some students talking to each other about wanting to share with their parents believing in Jesus and learning about God’s word. I pray that God will give these students courage to speak for Him and that these families will enjoy God’s peace and blessings.

 Kok Thmey Sunday School

Sunday School lessons were about God’s promises to Abraham. Students learn about the Promised Land and to trust God’s promises and take Abraham as an example. They are also starting to practise dancing for Christmas. They will also help teachers to make craft as the stage decoration. 

      Thanksgiving for: Prayer request:

• Having a wonderful team – Safe travel back and forth
• Discipleship class is going well – Our volunteer teachers to pass their exams
• God’s protection over students – Financial support for Ps. Bunnath at Kok Thmey Church

Blessings !!
