New Building ... Same Spirit

Today was not an ordinary Sunday for Krosang Paiyam Church of Christ Cambodia.

They are our sister and independent congregation around 60 KM from Phnom Penh. Reaching there is a challenge because of unpaved way but when you reach and receive warm welcome from smiley faces all tiredness just vanishes away.

We were invited by Church leaders there to join in their joy like people from neighboring congregations. While village chief and local Police officer were also invited but real happiness was sharing smiles with kids.

Attached are some pictures.... Keep us your prayers...

Krsong Paiyam Church.....visit

We received good news that construction of Church building at Krsong Paiyam has been completed.

Brother Lork Tawn was helping with Church there to manage everything in order otherwise that Church raised all funds on her own for the purpose.

It was considered as good gestures from our side as we reached there and spent whole day. Many local Church members came over to meet us.

We enjoyed hospitality of Brother Thy who is preacher of Church and volunteering.

On the way back home we stopped at Sophea's house.
Sophea is brilliant student of CBI and Youth Minister of Phnom Penh Church of Christ.

Hope that you will like pictures posted.

in HIM,

Phnom Penh Church of Christ.

Bye Bye 2007 and ............

Happy New Year!

Another year has gone. PP Church of Christ went through certain changes during this year.

That was very first year when we found ourselves as full independent congregation. So naturally we went through many good and bad experiences which have never thought of.

Overall it was very good year. We not only had many baptisms but also continued to teach our members about The Truth and encouraging them to feel as one family beyond all social boundaries.

We had Water Festival in November and most people visited riverside of city those days. Later was another festival of "Chumban" which can be called Cambodian Christmas as city was almost empty during those days and there was lot of exchange of food.

December came with new challenge as our land lord hiked fare and Church found better to move to some other place which should possibly be cheap but continent too. Meanwhile we came across a van in very good condition and at very reasonable price. We are thankful to brethren who helped us to have this asset. We had Pre-Christmas party and invited many people which gave us chance to reach out to new souls specially in youngsters. There was bad news about health of our Preacher Brother James who has been diagnosed with stone in his kidney. During second week of December one of our Church member Brother Sophey and his family had to suffer loss of his father after complicated health problems.

During these months we have been visited by many friends and guests not only local but also foreigners. Like this week we were visited by Brother Sokhom Hun and family who is Cambo-American while during first week of December a group of young students from Bangkok visited and we had fellowship with them.

Now from January 2008 we are at our new meeting place which is on almost same street; Street 271 but in front of Cambodia Bible Institute. This place is less than 300 meters away from previously used building.

We pray to be enlightened that we may use our resources wisely to serve our LORD as much better as possible.

in HIM....... Wishing you smiles for life.
