Graduation Day

Our time with this group of pastors came to a close this afternoon as we completed the final sessions and had a graduation ceremony. This has been a very special time for David and I as these pastors have truly become friends over the past couple of years. During the graduation ceremony several of the pastors shared testimony to the impact of this study on their lives and ministries. It is always humbling to know that God is using you to impact the lives of His servants.

These men and women truly are heroes of the faith. About 95% of them are full time farmers who also serve the Church. There really is no such thing as a "vocational minister" here in Cambodia, as the churches are very small, usually meeting in homes or in open fields. The main prayer request mentioned during the conference this week was for rain. Cambodia is in the midst of a terrible drought and there are fears that this years rice harvest will be poor. Please join us in praying for rain in Cambodia.

David and I will be leaving early Monday morning for the trip to Svay Reing and the next conference. This will be our first time in Svay Reing and we will be teaching the Systematic Theology curriculum. This is a very demanding study and we covet your prayers during this time.

Thank you for the emails and encouragements we have received they mean a great deal to us.

That all may hear!
