Day 3 - Phnom Penh

What a great day!! Our last full day of training with the 56 pastors and church leaders has closed.

We will finish tomorrow by noon, and close with a graduation ceremony and a time of prayer. It seems as each one of these precious men and women are becoming more like family each time we meet with them. We care for them and they care for us. As we discussed the future training sessions, they gave some great input. Their greatest need is to have materials and to learn how to disciple believers toward maturity in Christ. Pray for us as we begin developing this next level of material.

Our friend, Jason, shared about his life experiences in that large East Asian country that he is living in. The class asked a lot of questions about life there. Jason did a good job of answering their questions and building into their lives.

Sometimes I forget that these men and women really do live an oppressed life. They are joyous in their service and they work faithfully. As we were teaching today about Paul and Silas in jail, we asked them about their experiences. Several indicated that they had been in jail for the sake of the gospel.

They are truly amazing servants!

Continue to pray, and we'll update tomorrow.

Thanks for standing with us in prayer.

David & Jeff
