Power of Grace Children's Home Dedication

After almost 2 years of building trying to outpace the rising prices of construction materials, the new home of Power of Grace Children's Home was finally dedicated on July 11, 2008. We thank God for the kindness of C3 Missions International and Grace Baptist International in providing the needed funds for the completion of this beautiful 3-storey facility. The new dormitory is capable of housing up to 120 orphans and children at risk. Combining all the children from Living Waters and Power of Grace, we now have 53 uniquely different children running up and down the building and creating cheerful noises around Power of Grace Children's Home.

Please continue to pray that these children who are sheltered at Power of Grace will all know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and that they all will respond to instructions to become productive citizens of society and even become future leaders of Cambodia.

AIC News Bits!

One of the unexpected blessings we have for the 11 years of ministry in Cambodia is the development and growth of Academy International Cambodia. Started originally as a homeschool for our 3 sons, AIC has developed into a Christian school where Cambodian children and missionary kids get academic and biblical instructions that help prepare them for life. AIC has a student enrollment this year at 45. We held our Annual Awards Banquet and ABC's Graduation last July 5. We were so blessed to have had Rev. Delbert Hooge as our guest speaker for the occasion. Rev. Hooge was the person used of the Lord to encourage us to start the school when we first got to Cambodia. It is our desire and prayer that AIC will continue to grow and become an instrument for us to get the Gospel into more Cambodian homes and families.

One of the 8 graduates form our ABC's program is Sroh Keo, the youngest child we have at the Living Waters Children's Home. Sroh was just 6 weeks old when he was taken into our children's home.
