Flu and Dengue Season

 

Unusual severe heat, intermittent heavy rains and high humidity over the months of July and August have taken some serious toll on the physical health of many of our children and staff at Power of Grace Children’s Home.  Several have succumbed not only to coughs and colds but to severe flu and Dengue fever with at least one person hospitalized each week. While we did not fall to any illness, the physical and emotional stress of caring for the sick and the unforeseen additional financial burden did hit us quite hard.  As of this update, all children and staff have been recovered.  Please continue to include in your prayers our continual good health and safety as we labor among our people here.

Power of Grace Baptist Church

 Pastor Sophea celebrated their 3^rd Anniversary at Power of Grace Baptist Church last September 6, 2026.  Their ministry seems to face many challenges and difficulties in making a headway into their community; however, he reports about several professions of faith recently and a few new believers being prepared for baptism.  Please pray for Pastor Sophea and His family and for the new converts in their mission work to grow in their new-found faith. 

DGIA New School Year

 Divine Grace International Academy started the new school year last August 24 with more than 70 students. Seeing these students develop good Christian character is truly heartwarming and encouraging.  Several of the parents and guardians have been witnessed to and some have come to the saving knowledge of the Lord.  Please help pray that we will be able to effectively disciple these new believers and help them grow in their faith.  

Please help pray also as several of our students are working hard in preparation for their participation at the School of Tomorrow Regional Students Convention to be held in Bangkok, Thailand on the last week of November.  

DGIA Award Banquet 2026

Last June 19, we held our Annual Awards Banquet with 2 Senior High School graduates at Divine Grace International Academy. This is our first Awards Banquet after the name change from Academy International Cambodia to DGIA.  The Banquet is a school highlight that all students, parents, guardians and friends look forward to every year.  Everyone was blessed by the timely message from our Guest Speaker Missionary Arnold Espino.

It’s always a heartwarming feeling to see young people not only learn academics but also develop Christian character, gain personal confidence, learn life skills and get prepared to face the world ahead of them.  While not many of the students we serve do not become part or directly involved in our ministries, we are glad to know that we have impacted young lives to become better and productive members of society. Our staff and supervisors at DGIA are really doing a great job in helping these young people and also the families they come from.
