Church Planting
Pathway Fellowship:
Pathway Fellowship Cambodia is still operating without a license as our present place does not allow us to apply for one. We really thank God for the understanding of the local authority and allowing us to be where we are now.
Pathway is growing, many children and youths come to church regularly. We will be launching an English Outreach Class for the youth in early November. The classes will be on Sunday evening and will use devotional material as texts. We hope to reach 100 students by May 2012. Sakada Village:
There are less people attending the fellowship now as many of the villagers are still busy with their farming. We only able to visit the village a few times in two month as it is flooding here in Siem Reap. It is very difficult to find transportation to go to the village.
A pond is dug in Sakada to keep water for dry season. Sakada village has always been facing problem of water shortage. We really hope the pond will help keep water for the villagers to use during summer. We want to thank Mr. Mok of Faith Methodist Church in Singapore for donating this pond.
Tropang Tem Village:
We also not able to visit Tropang Tem for 6 weeks due to the flood. Tropang Tem is 90 Km away from where we are, so to hire a vehicle cost us around US$70 per trip. Only 4 wheels truck can go through the flood water. We hope the flood water will be receded soon so that we can travel to the village again.
Community Works In our July updates we shared about the need of
12 bicycles for poor students in Tropang Tem
village.
On Saturday, 10th September 2011
we’ve received all the 12 bicycles and were
given to the students. The students and their
families were so happy. We are still in need
of another 9 more bikes for 9 other poor
students.
We want to thank Mr. Khoon Meng Mok of
Faith Methodist Church, Singapore for donating the 12 bicycles. It is a great blessing to theses kids.
Mr. Mok and his family also helped build a new house for a poor family in Sakada village. The family of 9 were living in a very bad condition. The aging mother of the family is a faithful member of Sakada church. She comes to the fellowship regularly.
The family does not have a farm for their own.
They work for somebody else. They moved to
Sakada village about three years ago. On behalf
of the this family I would like to express my
gratitude to Mr. Mok and his family
for providing a warm place for this family to live in.
Mustard Seed School
We want to thank God for blessing the Mustard Seed School so much in the past years. The school has grown fast and gain lot of trust from students, parents and the community. The school has also reached many lives. As the school grow there is also need for more spaces. We are having difficulties arranging classes every day. These few month even harder as the ground floor is not usable due to the flooding. We hope to build a new building for the Mustard Seed School soon.
In our last update, we asked for pray for the construction of the new building. We have not started the construction yet as we’ve yet secured fund for the building. Our prayer is that we will have enough fund to the construct two storeys building (first phase) to accommodate the number of students we are having now. We also hope to enrol more students upon the completion of the new building.
The new building will be also used for the office of the Mustard Seed Fellowship and a meeting place for the
Path way Fellowship Cambodia.
Please join us in prayer!
Siem Reap Flooding
It has been flooding in the past few years in Siem Reap. This year flood is getting worst. On Saturday 10th September 2011, we left for the villages early in the morning. The road from the Mustard Seed School to town was dry but the water level in river was a bit higher than normal day. I thought it was alright. After finishing our work at the villages we drove back to town. It was heavy rain on our way home. As we were reaching Siem Reap town we saw water spilled over to the street. A few minutes later we came to the central point of the flood.
On the 21st of September, one week later, it was very heavy rain through out the night. On the next day, half of Siem Reap town was flooded again and it is the worst of any other times in the past 30 years. The flood continued till now. Many schools are still closed, many houses are affected. About 120 families in our village are affected and are in desperate need for food and clean water.
Villagers will face more problems after the flood. Shelter, disease and clean water will be the challenge people face. So please uphold these people and all flood victims in your prayer.
If you wish to contribute to help the villagers please contact us.
