GBC-Kandal Steung Christmas Program







This past Sunday, December 4, we were at Grace Baptist Church – Kandal Steung, pastored by Bro. Siem Bunthol for their Christmas program.  The small place of worship we built last year can no longer contain the number of people Bro. Bunthol has every Sunday.  They have made an extension on the side of the building to be able to accommodate more people.  It is a blessing to preach the Word there and see a lady coming to trust the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior.

Soteriology Class


It is always a special blessing teaching at CBBC.  I taught Soteriology (the doctrine of salvation) to the combined 2nd and 3rd year students.  I had a total of 17 students.  A clear and proper understanding of the Bible teaching of Salvation helps a believer to be more appreciative of the riches of God's grace bestowed on sinners and adds to more joy in the Christian life which in turn impels the believer to more consistent and dedicated service to his Savior and Lord.   Please pray that these students at CBBC will grow in the knowledge and grace of the Lord and would yield their lives to serve God unreservedly in the reaching of their fellow Cambodians with the Gospel.  CBBC has a total of 26 full-time students and several who are auditing or completing credits for graduation.

1-Minute Video Presentation
I was asked to do a 1-minute video presentation of highlights of our ministries this year and this video is the finished product.  I hope this will help friends know more of the things that make life exciting here in the country of Cambodia.

Evangelistic Camps 2011







We just finished the 10th batch of our Evangelistic Camps 2011.  This far, there have been  4,528 who attended the camps.  A total of 1,158 have trusted the Lord as their Savior and 426 were baptized from the different churches who brought people to camp.  There are still 4 more batches to go before camping season 2011 will close.  We really thank the Rawlings Family and Foundation for putting up the camp facility and in helping us with the resources to organize and hold these camps.

Vacation Bible School

Our young people at Grace Baptist Church with help from our volunteer staff and the Flanagan family, held Vacation Bible School for almost 200 children from August 1-6.  The special highlight of the VBS is when our young people gather the children in small groups and explain to them how and what it means to put their trust in Christ as Savior and Lord.

CBBC Graduation 2011



Last July 12, 6 men and 1 lady graduated from Cambodia Baptist Bible College.  It always brings mixed emotions to see these men and women mount the platform to receive their certificates.  It is very heart-warming to hear them give their testimonies of how the Lord has carried them through Bible college years, thank their Pastors, loved ones and friends who helped them and then express their dreams and anticipations of what lies ahead.  We realize that these new graduates are going to the forefront of the Gospel battlefield and that they need our support and fervent prayers more than ever.

Missions Conference 2011







We held our Missions Conference from May 11-13.  We had many of our local Pastors whom we are helping attend.  Two of them, Bro. Sothea and Bro. Bunthol were saved, trained and sent out of our church.  The Missions conference was a blessing to our people and to brethren from other churches who came to attend.  Our church is not really giving much to Missions yet but we want to emphasize that this is the main reason why churches are started and why they continue their existence.  I wish we can say that we are growing dramatically in this area but not so.  However, we are undeterred in our efforts and we are confident that “we shall reap if we faint not”.  Your prayers for us in this area is very much appreciated.

GBC 9th Anniversary




Grace Baptist Church – Anlong K’ngan celebrated its 9th anniversary of existence as a church in Anlong K’ngan, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh city last April 24.  Bro. Srim Sara, the first Cambodian missionary to a foreign field, was our special speaker and he brought a very powerful message that has blessed and encouraged many of our people.  While we had more people than normal with many first time visitors, it is odd that nobody made any decision to trust the Lord for salvation that day.  However, a woman who attended came back the next Sunday and got saved!   Our schedules are not often synchronized with the Lord’s schedule and so we just gladly follow His when He makes the changes on ours!

BBFI Global Fellowship


It was a special and wonderful blessing to be back home home in the Philippines when the Baptist Bible Fellowship International Global Fellowship Meeting was held in Cebu city from February 21-24.  The huge gathering of preachers, pastors, missionaries and church workers was very inspiring.  It was such a wonderful time to see old friends and to meet new ones who are serving the Lord in many different countries around the world.  The worship and fellowship time was really uplifting.  Dr. Armie Jesalva and the brethren at Bible Baptist Church - Cebu were such wonderful hosts for the monumental occasion.
