Teachers in February

 We were blessed to have Bob and Sandy Jackson as well as my parents, Loren and Penny Hollingsworth with us in February.

This is Bob Jackson teaching and Try translating.  Bob taught
 II Corinthians to our students for 2 weeks.

I hate that I didn't get a picture of Sandy and a better picture of Bob (we even talked about it and still didn't do it!).  But we hope they enjoyed their stay and know how grateful we are that they are willing to come and share their talents and God's Word with our students.
 Also Dad and Mom were here for the month of February.  Dad taught Minor Prophets.  We, of course, always enjoy with time we get to spend with them. Now I have to go back to washing dishes, as Mom does them the entire time she is here.  Ha!
They are now in Phuket, Thailand teaching there.
Truly I cannot put into words how incredibly wonderful my life has been because they are my parents.  God blessed me richly by allowing me to be born into their family.
Now, we are into March.  This month starts off with an Evangelism Week.  Rich and I and half of our students will be going to Battambang province Monday through Wednesday, while the other half of the students will be going to different closer villages with Veasna.
Then Thursday and Friday, the Evangelism week will continue to other places.
We are excited that our friend Cherie Creech will be here on Friday.  She and her husband, Terry, have been terrific supporters of us, as well as great friends.  We are excited to show her around Phnom Penh for the short time she is here.
Also, Stephanie West, one of the girls in our youth group a few (?) years ago, will be coming as Cherie is leaving.  We love getting to show people around Cambodia so they experience it and see how sweet the people here are first hand.
Please pray for all the travels of those mentioned above as well as our students and graduates.
Much love,
Ronda
PS. Oh! and our 32nd anniversary is this month as well!!!

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

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
