Early on in the ministry here in Cambodia, we tried our best in teaching and motivating our Cambodian brethren to be involved in reaching lost souls with the Gospel. The 3-day Missions Conference we had last May 22nd to 24th was just a highlight of the continual teaching we do during the weekly worship services. Our Cambodian brethren who are doing mission work within the city and around the countryside reported about how the Lord is blessing their respective ministries. They also mentioned challenges they are facing and asked for help in prayer for certain needs. Other than the small cash love gift given from the church's missions offerings. Our church people were divided into several groups and each group gave a special gift for one of the mission pastors our church is helping to support. We were blessed to have Pastor Jesse Lubiano as guest speaker for the conference. Pastor Lubiano is the Senior Pastor of the church where we were first members in Baguio city in the Philippines. The church is now called High Crest Bible Baptist Church. Pastor Lubiano's messages on giving for the sake of World Missions were both challenging and inspiring.
Another special feature of this year's conference was the choir organized and conducted by our eldest son, TJ. This is the first real choir we ever had where the singers actually sang 4 voices. We will be missing TJ's services in this area when he goes back to Bible college very shortly soon. The song rendered by the choir was special because it is an original composition by 2 of our young men in church, Bro. Proh and Bro. Sophea. Already the song has become a 'hit special number' in the churches of our circle of friends here in Cambodia.
