Empowering Women for Discipleship
Our churches are not men free zones but very few men are at
our regular worship and Bible studies. Most of the members are women, youth and
children. In some villages, the men migrated to other places, mostly Thailand;
and some work at the fields.
The women in
Cambodia play a very important role at home, especially the village families.
They spend most of their time with their children at home and at the field.
They don’t normally travel far. They are considered weak by the society.
We praise God for
sending more women to our churches. They also bring their young ones with them
when they come to church. Because of their influence at home, we hope they will
also play important role in disciple their children.
Most women in our churches don’t read and write. We need to enable them to fulfill their role in discipleship. Please pray for literacy classes that will start in January 2017 onward.
Mustard Seed School - Students in Need
Sambath and Reaksa (picture
on the left) came from a very poor family. They are cuisines. They love
studies. On the day they were accepted to MSS, they were so excited. They hope
education will help them to have a better life. They don’t want to wonder
around looking for wild fruit and vegetables to sell them in the market to make
a living.
Youth Ministry
One big challenge the youth are facing right now is job seeking.
We have more and more youth from the villages moving to town and cities to get
education and find job. Some of the youth in the village we work with are also
moving to town. Many of them will finish high school soon and some of them will
be moving to town to look for job and study in the university.
Most students drop off from school at a very early school year. Very few continue to high school. This year grade 12 state exam, only 13 students from Svai Leo district high school passed.
Moving to city/town give them higher chances to pass state exam and continue to university. As they move to town, they need place to stay. So please pray for the need for students hostel and scholarship
