Some of our students

Let me introduce you to 4 of our students.
On the left is Khim. He is 27 years old and became a Christian in 2004. He has 5 brothers and 2 sisters; he is #6. Both of his parents are deceased.
On the right is Soktee-a. He is 23 years old and has been a Christian since 2004 as well. He has 3 brothers and 2 sisters and is child #2. Both of his parents are still living although not Christians.

On the left in this picture is Saleem. He is 33 years old and from Pakistan. He became a Christian in October of 2004. He has one younger brother. His father is still living in Pakistan. He likes to listen to the news and also likes to be alone.
On the right is Sokpee-a. He is 22 years old and became a Christian 2 years ago. He is the oldest and has 4 brothers and 1 sister.
All of these guys have really great smiles, but get all serious when I get ready to take a picture. And, you will have to come and listen to them sing; it is great! I wish they could sit and sing with our youth group kids so they could hear each other first hand. I love to hear both groups sing - but they are both very different. We have been encouraging them to sing some of the traditional khmer Christian songs (not just the ones with English words) and they are beautiful.
I hope all of you have your "I'm going to visit the Dolan's" change cans in your houses and are saving up! Remember us in your prayers. Know that we love you all very much! Ronda

I'm hoping that the Aggies for Christ are able to pull together a summer mission to come help you all. Robert is really excited about the possibility.

Well, Those 4 students seem to have a lot of potential and with the size of their families, who knows, some of them may come to the Lord. We can all pray that God will give the increase. Would love to hear them sing their songs in Khmer. We are sure it is beautiful, but not sure that we will be able to make it there any time soon. Love you and keep you in our prayers. Bob & Carol A.

P.S. Hope Robert can get the Aggies for Christ to come in the summer.

Talked with Jason today. He said the Aggies are planning on coming and had asked him about seeing us. Hope it all works out

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

Our 40th anniversary trip

Image
 As many of you know, we don't do things like most people.  Ha!  On our 33rd wedding anniversary, 7 years ago, I asked Rich is we could go to Ronda, Spain for our 40th anniversary.  He said that sounded good.  We sent to the kids and told them that in 7 years, we are going to Spain.  They are welcome to come, but they had to pay their own way.   So, our 7 years of saving and planning paid off big time!  We had the absolute best trip!  The only thing that would have made it better is if Jason and his family could have also been there.  Randall had to miss the first week for work as well. So, Spain!  We played on beaches and in the ocean, saw castles, towers, cathedrals, mountains, national parks, arabian baths, roman bridges, mosques, ancient city walls, bullfighting rings and caves.  We hiked, played in the pool, rode in vans, buses, trains, ferries, cable cars and on camels.  We wondered all around little roads in many little towns and cities all over southern Spain, sometimes on

16 years!!!

Can you believe that today is the last day of our 16th year in Cambodia!!  To give our Broken Arrow friends some perspective, we were in Broken Arrow for 17 years.  It certainly has gone by fast. We cannot even begin to express to all of you how much you have meant to us for all these years.  To know that we had your love, prayers and support constantly has been refreshing and uplifting to us.  We realize that this is your work, and we just get to do the fun part and be the people on the ground. How amazing is our Almighty God that has allowed us to be here and do this work for 16 years.   We look forward to many more years, if that is His plan. Right now, Rich is trying to get 11 of our students finished with their courses by the end of January.  Due primarily to covid, the schedule is a mess!  When covid started, some of our kids were called home by their parents out of fear.  But we had 8 or 9 that were at the school, so Rich and Khemrin continued to teach.  Then, as time went on, s
