Rainy season makes for a beautiful countryside

These are just some pictures that I took while we were on the highway to Keb. I loved the clouds sitting down on the mountains. And the rice fields were bright green. Many of the rice fields have been replanted already, but a lot of people were out in their fields replanting.
I told Rich that one of these days, we were going to drive leisurely so that we could stop and take picture up close of people working in their fields. But for now, I hope you enjoy these.

6 New Students

Image
 I wanted to let you know that we received 6 new students from Battambang province at the school yesterday.  (There is another one but he was sick so didn't come now) They have all taken their 12th grade exit exam but haven't received the results.  Rich thought it would be good for them to come for this short 2 week class to get a feel for the school.  At CBI, they have to read a lot more and the studying is more intense than what they do in high school.  If their motivation is only to come to Phnom Penh because the big city is 'cool', they likely won't stick it out.   Starting September 15th, the school will be on break for 2 weeks for the Pchum Benh Holiday.  So they will be with us for 2 weeks and then go home for 2 weeks.  We hope they will all choose to come back and study with us. All of these new students come from Sokun and Soklee's village or area.  Some of them are already Christians which is exciting!  It is great to see ...

Back home in Cambodia.

Image
We are back home in Cambodia now.  We had a wonderful trip to the US! But, before we left, we spent the last weekend in a village with Borey, one of our graduates, and his wife, Phaney and their children.  He started this congregation by  himself.  After awhile, he converted his mom.  But for a long time, he didn't have any other people responding.   Now you can see that they have a thriving congregation due to his perseverance. There are several Christians in Phnom Penh now that came from this village.  They now live in the city and are an encouragement to the church here. This was the Bible class on Sunday, May 25th. This is some of the teenagers that hung around with us that Borey teaches. Please keep Borey and Phaney in your prayers as they continue to work.   Not in this picture is their new baby daughter that wasn't even a month old. His sons that are standing with us in the picture are Ratanak and Noah.  Their daughter's name...

Ladies Night with Baby Shower and the beach

Image
July 26th, we had another Ladies Night.  This one was especially fun because it included a baby shower.   Seyha (dad) and Kimlin (mom)'s baby was due soon, so we wanted to have a small shower for her. It was perfectly timed as their sweet baby boy was born the next day!!   She is now in the village with Seyha's family so that they can help her with the baby. (Her mom is not living.) And prayers were answered; Seyha has been out of  work for some time.  We found out tonight that he has a new job and starts tomorrow.  Thanks so much for God for His blessings. This is the group of us. We started the night by singing praises to God.   It is so sweet to hear them sing praise to the God that they didn't even know a few years ago.  Please keep them all in your prayers for strength and that their faith might grow strong in the Lord. A week ago, a group from the Church of Christ in the Capitol, Phnom Penh (long name - I just say the Cap...
