C3 Siem Reap Update

Great News!!!! The lady we have been praying for with Hepatitis is reported to have started feeling better on Sunday night. We visited and prayed for her on Saturday while her family were preparing themselves for her death and then on Sunday evening she starts feeling better!! Praise God He IS working in her body,  please keep praying for a complete healing as we believe this is going to be a miracle from God. We praise God for her salvation but now we are believing for a miracle in her healing.

Selecting the seeds

We then visited another village where we had lunch together. This family are farmers and so we had the opportunity to show them vegetable seeds that were kindly donated from our Australian friend Ray. They were so excited to look through the seeds and to be told they could choose whatever seed they would like to plant in their village. They took a wonderful variety of seeds and asked us to return and see how they were growing - this will be a very exciting thing to see for us. We can see how a few seeds could feed a whole family or a whole village!!!

The father in this family is a faith healer and we talked to him about the bible and the things of God. We gave them a small story book and a bible and what a joy it was to see this family reading the books and reading the bible.

Kids Church Pioneers

Last Sunday we started our first Kids Church session. The numbers of our smaller people have been growing steadily and so we felt God call us to start something for them. 9 beautiful little  people sat around our dining room table listening to the story of creation taught through my interpreter Kim Eng. They learned about each day that God made the earth and then when quizzed later on could correctly answer every question (they are so hungry to learn)!! Then we coloured in a picture while talking about the beauty of creation. Keep praying for these as we believe they will be the future of C3 Siem Reap.

The English Class is still operating very successfully, with new students interested every week. We will continue until the end of term now (July 6th) as nobody wants to take a break. Next term we will have to look at maybe adding another class due to the interest of many eager students. Please pray that we can operate more classes, physically and financially as some of the students are coming to church and bringing their friends and family.

Thank you for all your support and prayers and keep tuned for more of our adventures in God in Siem Reap. xxxxxxx

C3 Siem Reap Update

Last week we had a wonderful visit from my sister Cathy and her husband Mark. It was great catching up with family and showing them around the city of Siem Reap. Family are a blessing and I just want to encourage you not to take what you have for granted. God has put us in a family and we must cherish them with our time, our love, our support and definitely our prayers.

Some plant, others harvest!

We visited a village in Puok district about 18 kms from Siem Reap. When we arrived they were planting rice out in the rice fields. Mark decided to help them as rice planting is hard work and after all, we are here to support the people, build relationships and show the love of Jesus. They were really appreciative, I think, and Mark promised to come and help for another 10 minutes in the future, gosh we went away feeling like we had really made a difference!!!!!!


The English class are growing in numbers. We are still getting inquiries and people wanting to join our class. This is a great way to meet the locals and a few of them are interested in coming to church on Sundays. I am also learning about English as I am teaching. We are realising we can speak English but we do not know why we say it the way we do!!


Our Sunday meeting starts at 8.30am and by 8.50am only 1 person had arrived, after a short meeting we decided to go and have coffee. The kettle went on and the food came out and 11 people came through the door. They were late as Sunday was election day in Cambodia.


So we had church and Mark taught about God's love and the family relationships. For a Cambodian, love is not shown openly and to be told that God loves them no matter what is a real revelation and encouragement to them. That morning we saw 4 people give their lives to Jesus!! 


Then on Tuesday our young members had a day off school so they came over for a visit. What a great time we had eating, playing soccer, doing puzzles and just hanging out. What a joy to know we are making an impact as they want to come and see us. Language is still a barrier but Gods love seems to break those barriers down. Pray for these young people who will be the leaders of tomorrow.


Keep supporting us with your words of encouragement, your prayers and your finances. We are moving forward, taking this land and bit by bit impacting lives with the love of God wherever we go. Love you xxxxxxxxxxxx
