Dad and Mom are here!

My parents, Loren and Penny Hollingsworth, are here now.  They come every February to help Rich in the school.

Dad is teaching Minor Prophets this year.  In this picture, he is preaching Sunday morning at the Phnom Penh congregation.  He also preached at the Sen Sok congregation in the evening.

We are thrilled that he and Mom are here and enjoy getting to spend time with them.  They were in Thailand for the last 3 months and will go back to Thailand again for a time before heading back to Alaska.  Typically, when they are in Thailand, they spend about a month in different locations so that Dad can teach different groups of people.  Since they spent much of their lives in Thailand, the Thais are always excited when they come.

They will be here until February 28th.  We are grateful that our students get the benefit of learning from Dad.
Friday, Dan and Ravy Wilson arrived.  (They are on the far right)  They have just finished at Sunset International Bible Institute and we are glad that they are here.

Dan will be helping teach in the Bible school.  Of course, the immediate future for them is getting all moved in and working on language.
Ravy is Cambodian by blood but has been raised primarily in the US.  So she has the advantage of knowing the language already.

Please remember to keep God's work here in your prayers as we seek God's wisdom in everything that we do.  Pray for our students and their sweet hearts; that they will also walk with God; and pray for our graduates as well as they are out teaching and preaching and trying to reach the lost souls in their communities.

Much love,
Ronda

Great to hear that your parents are there, Ronda, are there and that the Wilsons have arrived. May God bless your work with both couples. A couple of notes:

1. The blog site has a purple background -- is this new? Tell Rich I like the Bulldog hue ...
2. Cindy's last day of work with the state is Thursday (Feb 12) -- exciting.

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
