Evangelism Week

These are our students now.  They can and do smile...a lot.  But when you take pictures, they get very serious looking.  Oh, well.  They are really sweet.
Here is an update on our Evangelism week that we had.
Each day, the students are divided into 2 groups.  Rich takes half and Dennis takes the other half.  Each group goes to a different village every day.  I know that the names of places won't make any difference to you, but I will try to give you a short overview.
Monday - Rich to TNT (orphanage there).  About 48 kids and 12 teens and adults meet to study.  Dennis went to Saang.  I posted the picture of the couple there with their store earlier.  They had about 70 kids come to sing and study.
Tuesday - Rich to Rangdak - the student taught door to door and then later 43 kids came to study as well as 12 adults.  Dennis went to Takeo and visited with the people there.
Wednesday - Rich took his group to Throul Pang Lpboac which is a new village.  The students met with people in their homes as they were busy working in the fields, it was difficult to have a central meeting.  Dennis went to Krang Dong, where one of our first graduates live.  They had many kids come to sing and study.
Thursday - Rich went to Prayvang, which is a new work.  It is Borey's village; he is one of our last graduates and is just getting the church started here.  They had about 20 kids and 23 adults and tenns meet to listen as the students taught.  Dennis went to Sra Sdac (I have no details on this place)
Friday - Rich went to San Sok, which is an area close to the Phnom Penh airport.  The students went house to house, as well as had a meeting for the kids at 1pm.  Many kids and 12 teens.  Dennis went to Throul Pang Patrea on this day with his group.

As most of this country is agricultural - rice farming, we have to work around that.  Like anywhere, depending on rain, when the rice was planted, replanted, etc, all dictates when the villagers are busy in the fields.  So, we do the best we can.  Teach when we can, help when we can, visit with them in their houses and in the fields.  We usually have a pretty good number of kids.  Please keep praying for our efforts and the work of our students in their villages.  Love, Ronda

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
