Our US Trip schedule

 

I will get to our US schedule, but first I wanted to let you know about the Camp Chaam in Thailand.  The theme this year was Face To Face.  It centered on how Biblical people reacted when they came face to face with God and applying those examples to our lives.  Men like Moses, Elijah, Daniel, etc.


Rich taught the adult classes on Habakkuk.  The camp from from the night of April 12 through the night of April 15th, with most people leaving the morning of the 16th.  

Rich taught each morning for an hour right before lunch.  He got a couple comments on how he was a good one to teach right before lunch, when everyone was getting hungry, because he was easy to listen to.


Glome, one of the ministers at the Soi Somprasong 4 congregation in Bangkok was his translator.  This is the congregation that I grew up in.

Camp Chaam is during the Thai New Year, which is also the Khmer New Year, so CBI is out.  This year, we took Khemrin, Navy, and their daughter Nakeen to the camp in Thailand with us.  We wanted to give them a feel for what the church could look like in the future in Cambodia.

I was especially blessed to get to hug on so many sweet Christians that love my parents.  Many of the lessons had at least one reference to the work that they did for 50+ years in Thailand and the difference that it made on so many souls.  

The camp is located on the coast.  As this property was purchased about 50 + years ago,  it was just a remote section of the beach with nothing around.  We used to go down there at New Years time, when we were off of school, when I was a kid.

Now the area around has really grown up and is (sadly) well developed.  But still, we have our beautiful section of the beach.  


I took this picture one morning after our Women's prayer time.  I was thinking about how we are to be a reflection of the Son.  

Back in Bangkok, Rich and I did manage to make a trip to one of the malls to get Cinnabons!!!  Delicious!

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
