Church on the ground ~

Category: News Leave a Comment

While words and photos can’t give perfect picture, I think these photos clearly give you a glimpse of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Snor. Gorgeous!

Of course the church tuk tuk has the perfect parking spot.

While the surrounding land shows the ongoing dry season, the moment you walk into this tiny church its stunning in its own stand. The main room worship area is about 18×25 with the back rooms probably the other half of the building proper.

Behind the ‘church’ room is a small blank room that easily could be a sleeping quarters. This leads out further into a washing area and squatty potty and a storage area.

One amenity not usually found is nestled behind the sleeping room and not at all visible unless shown to you is a tiny room housing a sink, large barrel of water for flushing and bathing, and a western toilet, of all things. I consider that surprise amenity a love ❤️ tribute to those who share time with this congregation.

We appreciate the sun shield out front so activities can be a bit shaded. Like the hygiene clinic done.

We even had a ‘nap’ time on the floor of the church in the hot afternoon between services.

Oh, there is electricity too, that power the fans to move the air. The windows are sheet medaled and barred shut.

Children to Love!

Category: News Leave a Comment

These are the children and young adults we have come to love and share our faith and lives. They are now healthy, clean, and cared for thanks to Pastor Samuel, his wife, Sophena, brother-in-law, Samreach and his wife Kothea and their influence into the local community. The apparent changes in the lives of each of these children and the trust they have grown to have in the church is not only filling their lives with Jesus, but is also growing the next generation of this new church. They are excited to come to church. They are happy and interested. They are now engaged and tithing

We are so privileged to be working with them and having the opportunity to share time and faith a half a world from where we came. Only God could have orchestrated such a perfect life to be a part of. All glory to our Father.

First Sunday On the Road!

Category: News Leave a Comment

Sorting thru the photos and videos of the day as I’m sure some of you are wondering how it went for this first Sunday.

Well this is the last photo of our ‘day’ run to Snor. There were 15 of us in this ‘church’ tuk tuk ~ layer two is those asleep on the floor when this was taken.

Of course church supplies filled the floor as well.

It’s so good to be back here. God is good!

Departure Blessings!

Category: News Leave a Comment

We have been in Siem Reap for one week today with lots to share.

Before our departure three local churches ~ St. Peter’s of Gilberts, Immanuel of Palatine, and Immanuel of Crystal Lake IL all came forth during our last three weeks in the US to offer their departure blessings and laying on of hands during prayer time. Each church in the area has stood strong in their commitment to pray, encourage, and stand strong with and for us, which has continued to be a very special blessing for us.

Two churches are below, the first being Immanuel Lutheran Church Crystal Lake, IL and Immanuel Lutheran Church of Palatine, IL.
