Dear brethren,
It's a joy once again to be able to report of the recent ongoings of Christ's work in this part of the world! I appreciate all of you who are interested and are supporting us financially and spiritually. We understand the power of prayer from our brethren (Jas 5:16-19) and we are grateful for the generosity of your financial sacrifice leaving us an example to do the same for our people.
In the past couple of weeks we've celebrated a wedding ceremony between two beautiful Christian couples who've studied at International Bible Institute of Siem Reap. Sophal, who is a graduate of IBISR and is currently serving God in the Svay Rieng Province near the Vietnam border, married Kosal, who is one of our second year students and will be graduating this August. Sophal and Kosal will begin work in Kosal's home town, Battambong Province, which is about 3 hrs away from Siem Reap. Sophal will leave the work in Svay Rieng (9 hrs away from Siem Reap) with another IBISR couple (Saran and Ussa) to take care of. They plan to start a new congregation in Battambong and have our full support. We are excited for them and we ask that you keep them in your prayers as they begin a new life and work together with God!
