We are now attending International Baptist Church of Phnom Penh and last Sunday a team from a Baptist Bible College near Milwaukee, Wisconsin joined our service. God had opened door for the team to run a Christian sport camp in two public high schools near Phnom Penh and over 100 students responded to the Gospel. A local church will be responsible for the follow-up work for these students. It was great to see an American team here and witness how God’s work among us in Cambodia.

Pastor Billy, Jeanne Campbell, Richard and Cherith from Ireland and our family went to our school site (HHEC) yesterday to attend the 2nd meeting of our newly developed fellowship group. The fellowship is a product of our evangelical effort of the school and monthly medical clinic. Many villagers learned about Christ during the clinic and we invited them to this fellowship. Yesterday, we have about 14 villagers attended and they watched the Jesus movie in Khmer (official Cambodia language) and each of them were given a hand-cranked radio that is set to a Christian radio broadcast.
It is a great event to see villagers opening their hearts to the Gospel and showing great interest in learning more about Jesus. In the next few weeks, our school Principal, Pastor Sarorn, will be leading bible study during the meetings.

If you have been to Phnom Penh or some other southeast Asian countries you probably know most cities are swamped by motorbikes and you probably see three to four people riding in one small motorbike.
On our way back to the city from HHEC around 5pm yesterday, we were greeted not only by heavy traffic but also factories workers coming out from these huge windowless warehouses. They walked out of these gigantic gates and squeezed themselves up into these small trucks, and stood back to back with other workers trying to go home after a long day of work. Many of these workers looked as if they are teenagers or younger. It is indeed very sad to see the situation.
