Another month has passed and I haven't blogged. Sorry!
In May, Rich wrapped up teaching the book of John. Dan Wilson taught I and II Thessalonians. The students also took a sermon prep class during that month.
Then we had an Evangelism week. The students went to a different place each day to talk to people and teach. Some of those days were out in the villages and some days, they were in Phnom Penh. Particularly in Phnom Penh, Rich is trying to get them to build relationships with the people they see each day along the streets. They are always surprised when they walk with us that we speak to all the people along the way that we see each day. So we are trying to encourage that and show them that they can be more effective by knowing the people they are wanting to teach about Christ.
For 3 days, we had Paul Pinckley here to teach on Leadership. I am sorry that I didn't get a picture of him teaching. Paul and his wife, Debbie lived here for 3 years and worked on the Ship of Life (Partners in Progress). They are now back in the states, living in Iowa. We were thrilled to be able to visit with them some while they were here. We miss them here. They did a wonderful work on the ship.
Now Dan Wilson is teaching on the book of James while Rich is teaching on the Christian Family.
David and Elaine Maynard, our friends from Broken Arrow, OK as well as their daughter Kayla and her husband Chris will arrive on Saturday night (11th). This is Elaine and Chris' first trip to Cambodia. David will be teaching one day at the school on the Christian Family. They will be here for 2 weeks. We are looking forward to showing them around Phnom Penh as well as making a trip to Siem Reap.
On June 18th, our daughter, Rebekah and her husband Evan will be here. It is always exciting to get to have Rebekah "home". Evan will be here 2 weeks and then Rebekah is staying for another week. Of course, I could say tons about how wonderful it will be to have them here, but..I will try to contain myself!
At the BEST Center, we have had several baptisms later. It has been wonderful!! The ones that were baptized are all dorm students at the BEST Center that my sister, Julie operates. As part of living there very inexpensively as they go to university, they study the Bible everyday, have memory verses, as well as attend all the meetings of the church. I didn't get pictures of all of them, but please keep them in your prayers as they continue to study and grow in their faith. Their names are: Somreth, Songhee, Bondara, Sras, Song, and Thutsha. Here are pictures of the baptisms yesterday of Song and Thutsha.
We also have a new students at CBI. His name is Sokun. Please also keep him in your prayers. Our school is much different and quite a bit harder than what they are used to. Pray that he has a heart to stay to study and learn about God's Word.
Much love,
Ronda
