Church Planting Ministry:

Tropang Tem

About a month ago, we bought a piece of land for Tropang Tem church. The land was once a minefield,

about 500 mines were discovered, now God had given us this land. During the clearing of the land we also found an unexploded RPG rocket. We hope there is no more mine or unexploded grenade in the land. 

To generate income for this church,  we are also planning to plant some fruit trees and vegetables. Right now we are planting corns and other types of vegetable to test the soil to find out what kind of plant would be suitable for this land. Please pray with us that we will have enough money to build fence around the land. We are also in need of a well.

Because it is located nearer to the last stronghold of Khmer Rouge, Tropang Tem Village was under Khmer Rouge control until 1998. Many of the villagers are former Khmer Rouge soldiers. The commune chief was a Khmer Rouge commander. God had led us to this village for a purpose. 

I only found out recently that there is so much hatred among these people.  The old villagers do not like those who had just moved in to this village. One of the villagers told us that only now that they are able to talk to each other. Now the old villagers and the new comers are able to sit together to worship God. God had taken away hatred and brought unity to this village. 

We are planning to build a multipurpose hall on this land. We hope 

to raise about US$7,500.00 for the building.  A friend in Singapore had indicated that he will donate US$2,000.00 for the building. So we are in need of another US$5,500.00.

 Please pray with us that we will have enough funds for the building. We want to thank our friend, Mr. Larry Wong of Faith Methodist Church Singapore for donating the funds to purchase this piece of land.

Pathway Fellowship

            After the Khmer New Year in April, our Sunday school had shrunk. 

Most of the kids are busy helping their

 parents at home. 

The government is relocating people living along the Siem Reap River to another place. So those who are living along the river are preparing to be relocated. Many of Pathway members are also affected.  We do not know yet whether they will be relocated to the same area. So we are now preparing to start another church where our people will be moving to. Although it is affecting our church but there is new opportunity for new ministry. So please keep these people in prayers.

We want to celebrate and give thanks 

to God with Theara, one of our youth. He is going to university this year. Theara  is from a poor family in the slum area. He was given a full scholarship by the Lioness Club to study tourism in one of the biggest university in Siem Reap. His whole family is happy. Theara is very active in ministry. He goes with us every Saturday to the villages to help teaching English and also leading worship. Please pray for him that he will do well in his studies.  

 

Mustard Seed School

The ground floor building of the Mustard Seed School is completed. We praise God for this great blessing. We had dedication service of the new building in March this year. Now the building is ready for classes. We would like to express our thanks to the Lioness of Singapore for donating the funds for the construction. During the opening of the new building the Lioness Club has also given 10 scholarships to the needy students.   
Students, parents and our teachers are so happy with this new building. Students can 
play happily and safely in school compound 
as it is big enough for them to run around.  

As numbers of students keep growing, we are planning to build two more floors up. We pray and trust that our Father in Heaven will provide what is needed for the second phase building.

 

The Mustard Seed School plays very important role in reaching out to the students, their parents and teachers. Two of our teachers and a youth were baptized two weeks ago. Another 10 youth will be baptized in the next few months, after they 
had finished their baptism class. It is our prayer 
and hope that many more of students will
 come to Christ.   

Needy Students:

The Mustard Seed School is located among the poor communities. Many parents are not able to pay full fee and some are not able to pay at all. This year, 35 students are in need of scholarship for their studies. So far we managed to raise fund for 13 students. We are in need of scholarship for 22 more students.

Prayer Requests:

1.      Pray for all our teachers and staffs for wisdom and commitment.

2.      Please pray for all our students and their parents that they will open their hearts to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour.

3.      Please pray for our discipleship program for the village churches.

4.      As this is a raining season we are facing difficulties in our trips to the villages. Please pray for our need of transportation.

5.      We are planning to construct the second phase of the Mustard Seed School building, please pray with us that we will be able to raise enough funds for the construction.
