Wrapping up February and on to March.

 Our students are getting ready for their final tests in I, II Timothy and Titus, from my dad, Loren Hollingsworth; as well as in Characteristics of Jesus taught by Bob Jackson.

These first several pictures are of the singing that we have on Thursday nights at the BEST Center. Near the camera are Dad, Mom, and Julie.
 In this picture, Bob and Sandy Jackson are nearest the camera.  Then are Phyllis and Helen and Tom Norris.  This is Tom and Helen's 3rd trip and Helen's sister, Phyllis' 2nd trip.
As you can see, Phyllis does sign language with the song and that has been a new experience for the Khmers.
I am sorry that I didn't get a picture of Bob teaching and a closer picture of Bob and Sandy together.  We are grateful for their service and for taking time to come over and teach our students.

We have been having about 40 for the meal and singing on Thursday nights.  The Khmer Christians love singing!








Dad, as I said, has been teaching I and II Timothy and Titus at our school.  He has also been teaching a quick survey of Revelation in the evenings for 9 nights.  On top of that, he has preached twice on Sundays as well.  Veasna has done a terrific job translating for him during all these times.  We are grateful to have his talents.
Dad and Mom go back to Thailand on Saturday where they will spend another month in Chiang Mai before heading back to Alaska.

I, Ronda, as going to Australia on Saturday.  Our sweet friends, Terry and Cherie Creech and their daughter Kristen, has allowed me to attend a Missionaries' Wives Renewal conference from Feb 29-March 4th  As our anniversary is the next week, Rich will be flying to meet me on the 4th and then we are spending a few days.  We are incredibly thankful to the Creeches for giving us this opportunity to renew and relax.

The month of March has Rich teaching Psalms and Dennis Welch teaching Sacrificial Systems.  Please keep our students in your prayers as they grow in the Word.  And please pray for Rich to have wisdom he need to direct the school as God would have him.

Much love,
Ronda

Loren Hollingsworth

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
