Rich and Ronda Dolan

 Dale Lundy is here again.  He comes every year to help teach in the school and encourage the Christians here. This year he taught on Wisdom Literature - Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiates. We are grateful for his love of the Lord and his willingness to come and share God's Word to the people here.  Last Saturday was Doris Morrison's 75th birthday!!  Doris is a lady that has been in Cambodia for quite a few years now.

The Royal Ploughing Day ceremony is held near the palace. ...
