Loren Hollingsworth

As many of you know, my dad, Loren Hollingsworth, got to meet his Lord face to face on April 7th.  He fought the good fight and he finished the course.  Praise God for His perfect promises! The last blog I wrote said that my parents arrived in Phnom Penh the day before; that was Feb. 1st.  Dad was to teach for 2 weeks at CBI and then just have the other 2 weeks in Cambodia to rest, visit with us, and study for the next classes he was teaching in Thailand when they returned.  God had a better plan. Dad taught the first week at CBI.  Then Saturday, Feb. 10th, he had a series of mini strokes while we were out eating.  He ended up in ICU in Phnom Penh for 4 days and then back at our house for 5 days to make sure he could fly.  The doctor would only let him make the 1 hour flight to Thailand to see doctors there (instead of 30 plus hours of flying back to the US).   Dad, Mom and I came to Bangkok on Feb. 19th.  During the 3 1/2 weeks we were there, Dad was in the hospital 2 more times.  His

Graduation!

Image
Last Saturday evening, we had a graduation for 11 of our students.  We pray that on top of putting the knowledge of God in their minds, that they keep God in their hearts.  We are excited for this group as they start another phase of their lives.  But we are also sad that we won't get to be a part of their lives everyday. Please keep them in your prayers as they start jobs and make life decision.  So that you can put a face with who your a praying for, here are pictures of each them. This is Somnang. Kemchhouy Samai Srang Khouern  (pronounced 'koo-an') Bunly  (pronounced 'Bun lee') Sraynich (pronounced 'Sray nik') Sonah  Sophanmai (we call her Mai) Gimson   Jenthra Soklee, a graduate of CBI in 2011, brought our talk for the evening.  He is from Battambang Province where 7 of our graduation are from. He did a great talk about the important things to carry with them.  His points were: 1.  Continue to read and study your Bible. 2.  Continue to worship God with

Finishing 2023 and into 2024

Image
  My sweet husband let me make a trip to the US for the births of our 9th and 10th grandchildren. I arrived in Richmond, Virginia on Nov. 15th.  Lydia Joy Dolan was born on Nov. 11th, so I was just in time for them to get home from the hospital. Of course, I have TONS more pictures than the few that I am putting on here.   I got to enjoy Thanksgiving at Emily's parents house.  Emily's sisters and their families were also there.  Lots of great food and conversation. (For some reason, it won't let me move the pictures up, so there is going to be gaps.  sorry!) Everyone gets a turn at holding Baby Lydia.   We are so blessed.  Reuben and Emily and their kids, Ezra, Micah, Lily and Lydia are all doing well.  It was fun to get to spend some time with them.  I got to eat lunch one day with Ezra at school and got to take each one individual out for a meal and a treat. On December 2nd, I flew to Oklahoma City so that I could be with Rebekah and Evan and their kids. Jason was able to

Thai Winter Christian Camp

Image
In the middle of October, we were able to go to Thailand to their Winter Camp.  They had this camp at the same time as a major holiday, Pchum Bunh, in Cambodia, so we were out of school.  This year, the camp was in the north, east of Chiang Mai near the Myanmar border. The Watcharaporn congregation in Bangkok is the host of this camp every year and the congregations near the location of the camp assist.    Watcharaporn has a Bible training school like we have here.  Their staff and students (some of who are from Laos) did all the cooking and cleaning of the kitchen area and dishes.  There were 275 adults as well as children at this camp, so they worked hard and did a great job. Rich was the keynote speaker.  The theme of the camp was "Learning from the Past".  Rich taught 4 nights on the book of Ruth.  He emphasized a different person in the story of Ruth for the 1st 3 nights; Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz; and what we can learn from them to apply to our lives. Then on the 4th night,
