Some News from Phnom Penh Cambodia

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

This year May was not so hot as we observed last year. I got lot of rain almost every afternoon. Two events took place during May at about same time. We had Brother Tobego from South Africa and we learned much more from him about Church Management by his sermon and Bible class on last Wednesday of the month. Brother Tobego's visit was sign of concern of South African brethren for PPCOC and we are looking forward for more visits from leadership of that mature Church for administrating tips and to share spiritual growth of our Church members.

June started with departure of Brother Lynn Nelson and family from Cambodia back to USA and thanks God that now they have reached Cameroon safely for coming years.

Brother James Lork was invited by River Road Church of Christ GA, USA for two weeks in July to shar news about Church with them more personally and in detail. He briefed brethrens and leadership there about current situation and placed proposals for future cooperation as newly established Church; Phnom Penh Church of Christ has much to do in coming time. After his successful visit Brother James got sick and it was very difficult for him to manage things properly for coming weeks but he being enthusiast servant of God kept his jobs and got better later on.

In late August Brother Richard Dolan arrived with family to serve with CBI as resident Dean. He has spent long years as Youth Minister and we hope that Lord will use him to mold CBI students as faithful servants. Brother Rich with his wife and daughter is learning Khmer now, so our Khmer services on Wednesday evening and on Sunday morning give opportunity to hear Word of God in local language. Brother Jerry Canterall also visited to teach Books of Daniel and Thessalonian to Bible students there. He also worshiped with us at Phnom Penh Church of Christ. Phnom Penh Church of Christ is working continuously to mature ministries and thanks God that our members are becoming aware of importance of discipline in Church.Currently we are requesting to you to pray for our building problem as owner of current building wants to sell building and it is difficult to find building with same facilities in this area even at same fare.

best wishes for you all.
