The rains have begun to shower a little here in Cambodia. The countryside is now greener but the humidity has increased too. This tells us the that rainny days has come.
We expect showers of many many blessings this next few months as the school year would soon end and the students and young people will be free from school and they can spend most of their time in church and get involved more heavily in some ministries. We are also enjoying all the sweet mango fruits that we pick from our yard.
The first quarter of this year we had 432 saved and 60 baptised in the churches , however 433 saved and 188 baptised in the sports camps held from January and February.
This past few weeks we have seen an increase in our church attendance in Bang Keng Kang, Dangkao and Samrong Prey Nup.
We are very happy to know that at least 3 families ahve tear down their idol santuaries and also quit going to the Buddhist temple.
Last Saturday and Sunday it was a joy to have 10 souls saved from our Mission Work in Tropeang kroloueng. Our preacher, Thanks to Bro. Ran kim Eng and Lim Hour is spearheading the work. revival has come to this place after 7 months of spiritual battle.
We are now building a wooden and straw church in Wat Prasat that measures 6 meters X 8 meters. But we also need to build 3 toilets for 3 churches that desperately need such a facility. Each would cost $700- $900.
Last week, we had Youth Sports camp and Family Camp. We had a total of 1,375 that came to attend from 21 churches. We had songs, drama and "hands presentation" We have been blessed with 502 saved and 238 baptisms.
Next month we have 2 events coming up for you to pray for.
Women's Day camp on June17-18
Missions Conference and Church Anniversary in Dangkao on June 28.
We were able to purchase 50 bible this week. We hope to have more funds so we can buy 300 more for our Mission Works. Each bible costs $4.00
Five of our mission stations need a bicycle. It is the best way to get around the villages and buy their food.
The multipurpose building project in Dangkao needs a lot of prayers as we have not moved forward in our construction due to lack of funds.
This weekend our family will be going to Cebu and Manila, Philippines for a 3 week visit home. We will also be reporting to at least 9 churches. we will also have our Medical Check up in Manila.
As we report to you by mail, we pray that God will continue to bless our partnership in Missions and that God will bless you all as you pray and as you give likewise.
My verse for you today is Proverbs 16:20 "He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good; whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he".
Your Missionaries and Church Planters,
Lomer Hope and Grace Dela Cruz
