October - December Updates

Pathway Fellowship Cambodia

This year, Pathway Fellowship is 4 years old and it is
growing well. God is so good!

We want to thank our friends and partners for their
prayers and supports in the past years. Without their
prayers and supports, we will not be able to travel
this far.  Our regular attendant is over 100. Pathway
is also reaching out to a few villages. Out two village
churches are also growing well.

This year, Pathway is focusing on Discipleship
and Training. Please join us in prayer as we seek to make disciples for Christ.

Tropang Tem Church 

Tropang Tem is a sister church of Pathway. Tropang
Tem is a village about 90 Km from Siem Reap town. Many of the villagers are former Khmer Rouge soldiers.
We started a church in this village about a year ago
and this church is growing well. Every Saturday,
about 25 adults, 45 youths and 25 children attend the fellowship.

We are also running English Classes for Outreach. About 40 students attend the class regularly. We are seeking help for teaching  material for the classes. We are also need help for furniture and shelter for this
outreach program.

In December, we had a combine Christmas
outreach for Tropang Tem and Sakada village.
About 250 villagers came. We want to thank
Faith Methodist Church Team for sponsoring
the program. 




Sakada Village

Sakada is another sister church of Pathway Fellowship. This church is also growing well. We've just started another small group in a nearby village. Many of the villagers are alliterated but faithful.

This year, we will focus on discipleship. As many are illiterate, we will have literacy class for our members so that they can learn to read and write. Please join us in prayer for this ministry.









Mustard Seed School


The Construction of the Mustard Seed 
School is in progress. We hope the 
ground floor will be completed in 
about two months. We hope to build 
3 storeys building to accommodate
the fast growing of the school. The
number of students we have now
is 160. And we expect another 50 
more students will enroll in the 
year 2012.
We want to thank the Lioness Club of Singapore for donating fund for the construction of the ground floor. We are in need of another US$68,000.00 for the first and second floor. Please join us in prayer as we continue to raise fund for the next phase of construction.

Christmas Program

This year Christmas program for the
students was wonderful. Students
had their performances and dances
for the first time.


We want to thank the teachers and
staffs for working so hard for 
Christmas programs this year.
We also want to thank Faith Methodist 
Church Singapore Team for sponsoring the programs.









Community Works

Food Packages for Flood Victims
 

265 families of flood victims in two villages received food packages. The packages included one water filter, one mozzie net, 50Kg of rice and one box of instant noodle.
We want to thank Faith Methodist Church Singapore for their kind donation to the people in need.  


Building new houses
Some houses were damaged during
the heavy flood. The Mustard Seed Fellowship Cambodia together with some of our partners raised some 
fund to help repaired and built new houses for those who are badly affected. 
                                                                                                                        
 Each new houses cost between 
US$400.00 to US$500.00. Many 
more poor families are in need 
of help to repair and build new 
houses.



                                                                     






Digging ponds and wells 
Clean water and water shortage
is always a challenge for people in 
the villages. The villagers spend 
lots of money for medication on 
the disease that caused by unclean 
water.
Together with our partners, we helped 
digging ponds and wells for a few 
villages in Siem Reap. We hope to
raise more funds to dig wells and 
ponds for more villages. A pond 
of 20 meters by 40 meters cost about
US$1,500.00 and a well costs around 
US$270.00.
 
      
Prayer Requests:
1.                 We are raising more funds for completing 2 more floors of the Mustard Seed School building. Please pray with us that we will be able to raise another US$68,000.00.
2.                 35 students are in need of scholarship for the year 2012. Each student would need US$20.00 per month. Please pray for God’s provision.
3.                 Please pray for the Mustard Seed Fellowship and all our three churches as we are applying for license.

New Year Greeting and Updates

Dear Friends and Supporters,
Greeting in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
As we are preparing to welcome the New Year, 2012, allow me to bring you greeting from students, teachers, staffs and congregations of the Mustard Seed School and the Pathway Fellowship Cambodia.
We want to thank you for your prayer, supports and encouragement in the past years. God is good. He had blessed us and our ministry so much.  We always remind ourselves of how we started our journey about 4 years ago. As we looked back to the past we really thank God for His blessing and guidance. We’ve started as a small seed, and now this seed is growing. The school is packed with 160 students. Our present building is too small; we are building a new building. Our church, Pathway Fellowship Cambodia is growing well. Every Sunday the worship hall is packed with 90 children and 60 adults and youths.  Pathway is now reaching out to two villages and the village churches are growing well.
We pray and trust in the Lord that the Mustard Seed School, the church planting ministry and all other ministries of the Mustard Seed Fellowship will continue to grow and reach many more lives in the years to come.
Once again, thank you for all your prayers and supports. Please continue to keep us in prayer and support as we reach many more people.
May God bless you, your family and ministry.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
In His Services,
Rev. Lun Sophy
Pastor, Pathway Fellowship Cambodia
Director, Mustard Seed Fellowship
