Odds and ends

Image
I thought you might like to see part of the house we moved into. The first picture is of the dining room/garage. The thing is that there isn't enough room outside to park the car, so, like many of them, we park the car and the moto in the house. So our ground floor is this area with the dining room table, a small bathroom and the kitchen. Oh! And since it is rainy season, sometimes the clothes have to be hung inside. The next picture is a "construction" sign that the cement is wet. Actually, as far as barriers go, this one is pretty good. Usually they just stick a small tree branch in a bucket in front and behind the repaired place. And all of that is ok...in the daytime. But in the night, it is a little scary driving along (most roads don't have street lights) and all of the sudden there is a bucket and a tree branch in front of you. You really ought to come visit! We have so much fun here! Much love, Ronda

New school year

Image
This first picture is of our students. Most of them are very young Christians. Their normal schedule is chapel at 8:30am, morning class until noon and then an afternoon class from 2-4pm. On top of that, they have reading time at 6am for 30 minutes and then, of course, they have to study what they learned. They usually have a test at the start of each class. We are so blessed to have them and pray for their continued growth in the kingdom. (We also have 2 part time students that are not in the picture.) Please keep all of them as well as us in your prayers. Much love, Ronda

Pizza with our students

Last week, we had a evangelism week, where our students go to a different village each day and teach the people there. However, this is the monsoon season and lately we have been blessed with wonderful afternoon rains. That means that for the farmers in the villages, there is a lot of work to be done in the fields, and they have to go it while the fields are flooded. The people who would normally come were all out working in the fields. So, on Monday, we didn't have a village to go to, so the Welches and us decided to take our students to the mall and then pizza for lunch. I had the boys in my van and while I was driving up in the parking garage, they were having a blast! You would have thought I took them on a roller coaster! So, I will admit, that I drove through the garage a little faster than normal, for the fun of it. They thought it was pretty much fun. I found out later that most of them haven't even been to this mall, since it is in a different part of the city.

New Babies in Christ

Just wanted to let you know that we have been so blessed recently to have several people converted into Christ. Several of our previous students have been doing the teaching and it was wonderful to be able to see them give their lives to God. I thought I had a picture of a couple of them, but they wouldn't load. I will try to get more details and let you know. Please be praying for them as we know that Satan will attack them; pray for them to be strong and continue to learn God's will for their lives. Much love, Ronda

Ken and Jean Fox; John and Betty Breeden

We were priviledged to have the Foxes and Breedens here in Phnom Penh to work with us for a month. John and Ken taught out students in the CBI Preaching School while Betty and Jean taught English at the BEST house. It is wonderful for our students to get a variety of teaching styles, so they can see what style best suits their personalities. John blessed us with their talents, knowledge and abilities and the students reaped the benefits. We are grateful to them as well as their supporters who helped them come. Much love, Ronda
