Ten new baptisms, two of whom are infants. One is Samuel’s son Benjamin and the other is Samreich’s son Emmanuel. What a wonderful day.

This past Sunday was an exciting occasion to be able to worship with two of the three congregations that came together in Snor. In addition it was even more exciting for those who chose to be baptized on this day. It was a total of 10, two of them being infants, (one of them Pastor Samuel’s son Benjamin and the other Samreich’s son Emmanuel). Pastor Samuel and George were the caretakers of this perfect moment these ten souls now redeemed in Christ. Amen!!!

In the Village One More Time

Sorting through the photos and videos of our first church service, a coming together of two of three villages for the day. We started out our day about 8:15 am in a tuk tuk heading out to service and returned about 3:30 in the afternoon. As I sort thru it all I’ll send a few things to those of you who have not been here as yet or are following this journey to pray for this ministry. Thank you to our local partners for their loving care of us and embracing us into their daily lives as we serve our God together.
The video attached on the main fb page shows the before church singing led by the angelic voice of Pastor Samuel’s energetic wife. I was holding their son Benjamin while taking this and gratefully he was a patient 8 month old fellow at that point.

At the Altar

Category: News Leave a Comment

‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’ Joshua 1:9

Our grateful hearts are overwhelmed by the offering of this cross on Sunday by the congregation of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Crystal Lake, IL as they gathered around us to pray for our departure back to Cambodia.

Thank you so very much!

PS The Kids of the Kingdom shared two dozen of gorgeous red roses that were the altar flowers for the morning. Wow!

How a Community Group Can Bless a Missionary couple

Category: News Leave a Comment

A few days ago I posted a pic of a huge poster carefully created and signed by the Kids of the Kingdom at Immanuel Lutheran School in Crystal Lake, IL. Along with these great kids, our /an Immanuel community group showered us with their special talents as well. I am sure we did not see all of these great loving acts of kindness showered on us throughout the morning, but they provided a warm environment from which God’s ministry in Cambodia could be presented. Handling not only the weekly coffee and light brunch table, they also posed for and were active in capturing so many moments throughout that morning and then allowing us to recognize them for their partnership to the congregation.
In the middle of the table just below the poster I put out here a few days ago was this gorgeous cake. I’m told it had a match to it that appeared upon the scene at just the right moment. Perfect!
Thank you to you, our community group, who has loved us, prayed for us, and welcomed us into their group, and are now sending us forward in love.

The Power of a Cross

Category: News Leave a Comment

Last Sunday the youth of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Palatine under the loving encouragement of the Roe and Lazarri parents and Pastor Donald, held a fundraiser for God’s work in Cambodia. Thru the talented planning of the two families listed here, the youth offered homemade pocket crosses, cross necklaces, and prayer packs during their services to raise funds for Cambodia. Our grateful hearts are overjoyed with their partnership to share forward the gospel message and to pray for us. Thank you so very much for such a wonderful project. The crosses were perfectly made. Well done faithful servants!!

Heading Out the Door !

Category: News 2 Comments

The 22nd was our last Sunday in the area for a while. Immanuel Lutheran Church of Crystal Lake, the Kids of the Kingdom, our community group, and the church at large scooped us up for the whole morning and showered us with tons of love and prayers to send us out. While it may take me a bit to sort it all out at this end, we wanted to start out with this amazing sign that greeted us that morning. The Kids of the Kingdom is a group of young people who meet after school to share Jesus. Way back in 2014 they surprised us with a treasure chest of coins and from that moment forward, they have loved us along this journey and prayed and continued to encourage us. Here is their poster. Way to go y’all. Thank you so very much for your love.
