Catching up on December 2015 Graduates

I promised to do this earlier and then forgot.  We had 4 students graduate in December. Here are their pictures and a brief description of their plans. All 4 of these men come from Takeo province. They went to high school together and came to CBI because of their relationship with Kimsrauv and his family.




Kimsrun (left) finished his course work at the end of October. He immediately joined his brother, Kimsrauv ( 2012 CBI Grad) in working with the church planted in their home village.  The church there meets in the home of their parents.  Kimsrun is the 3rd of 4 brothers.  All 3 of the older boys are CBI graduates and the younger brother is a current student.



Chanreas (right) and Ronrg (pictured below on the left) are both working as interns with the University congregation (one of the local congregations in Phnom Penh). This is a six month stint and will help the local church as well as give them some experience.  Both men would like to stay in Phnom Penh to preach and teach.  And, I just found out recently that they are cousins.










Ving, (pictured right) is the 4th man in this group from Takeo. He also has been studying at a University. Ving has 2 years left to finish his degree. He plans to work in a secular job, but help to build up the church and evangelize here in Phnom Penh.  We actually have a meeting later this week to discuss his plans.

This is all a result of the work here. Thanks so much for your part in making this happen.

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
