Our Latest Updates

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.

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.

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
