Dear Beloved,
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving." Colossians 2:6-7
We start this year with the aim that our church plant here in Kampong Cham and the other churches we have in other provinces will be rooted and built up and will be healthy as they obey and follow the Word of God this year 2012.
Last November, God saved Phy a 31 year old young man . I baptized Mr. Chuoern Weng , 45 years old man, he is now helping us drive the church van to pick up visitors every Sunday. We are praying that Mrs. Lut , ( a Department of Education provincial librarian) Weng’s wife will get saved too. Now,they have also learned to give to the offerings.
Our Christmas Evangelistic program that was done last December 10, had 145 that attended excluding our staff and there were about 30 young people and 3 mothers, we also had 75 first time visitors and 35 that made professions of faith, Glory to God! He is ABLE in Kampong Cham! December 11, was Our 1st Mission Anniversary, 136 attended, 3 that made profess ions of faith. Our attendance doubled from last year’s 73, Glory to GOD!
Our Team of 27 presented the Christmas Story to 2 villages ( Lovea Commune and Chouk Sou ) in the afternoon of December 18 and January 1. A total of 315 kids and 79 adults attended our Christmas presentation. We had the skit and songs and I preached, praise God for those 102 that made professions of faith. It was their first time to see the story of the birth of Christ. We gave bread and drinks and gifts to the village chiefs and our hosts. Glory to God !
My family and I we went to Banlung, Rattanakiri province on December 22 to 26. We visited and I preached for Bethany Baptist Mission for their 4th Thanksgiving Sunday, there were 7 that raised hands to receive the Lord Jesus.
We visited the Cambodia-Vietnam border in Ohyadao and along the way, we saw 3 towns that needed churches.
We are giving God all the Glory for these total results in our ministries for the year 2011 -
