Our students

 A week ago, we had a pizza and Bunco night for our students.

They would tell you that pizza is their favorite food even before they had ever had any.  But, now they have had it a couple times, so they know they like it!

The main reason that we play Bunco is that here, all the games they play are gambled on...soccer, volleyball, ping pong, etc.  We want them to know that they can play games for fun and it doesn't have to include money.
 The prizes that we give them are towels, notebooks, pens, etc.; practical things that they can use.

Looking at these pictures, they look very calm.  Let me tell you, they are anything but calm!  They are very loud and there is a lot of hollering going on!  In this picture Kimsrouen is standing because he can't play and sit down.  He gets very excited.
I thought it would be good to update you on our students so you can see who you are praying for.

These are our newest students.  Tola, in the yellow, just started a couple weeks ago.

Utt, in the blue shirt, has been at the school for about a month and a half now.
 These three guys are going to graduate in a few weeks, along with Kimsrun, who isn't pictured, as he is already in his village working with the church there along with his brother.

This is, from left to right:
Rong, Veng, and Chanreas.
 In this picture is:

Somrach, Makara, and Kimsrouen.  Kimsrouen is the youngest of 4 brothers who have all gone to CBI.  The oldest 2 brothers had already graduated and Kimsrun, the 3rd one, will graduate with the 3 pictured above.
The next in line to graduate are:

Kemrin, SeakCheng, and Sophea.


I hope it helps you to see faces to go with the names.  We appreciate you all so much in your support of the school here.
Please keep all of our students in your prayers as they study and learn God's Word.  Please pray that they increase their faith so that they can teach others.
Please also pray for our graduates that are out teaching in various places.  Pray for their faith and endurance to run the race that God has placed before them.

Much 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
