We rejoice with Bro. Bunthan Sophea over some initial fruits from his new mission work. He is seeing more and more people come to their services in their makeshift place of worship. Just recently they baptized 4 new believers. Please continue to pray that we will have sufficient funds to be able to help Bro. Sophea to fully pay for their property and to help build a permanent and more presentable place of worship for the brethren.
We held our Annual Awards Banquet at Academy International Cambodia last July 8. It is always a great feeling to witness the step-by-step development of young lives as they learn to read and write and especially in learning Scriptures and coming to salvation through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ. This year’s year end program is highlighted by the graduation of 2 Senior High School students who both started in our Learning to Read Program.
We started development on this property during the last quarter of 2022. This will be the future permanent home for the Cambodia Baptist Bible College. We have about 20% of the funds for the construction. The plan is to start building when we reach 50% of the budgeted construction cost. Hopefully before the last quarter of this year, we can start on the foundation for a 4-storey building. Please help us with the finances and also in prayers so that this project can be launched and completed as soon as possible.
Academy International Cambodia was able to start the new school year last September 12. Our students were very excited to be back in their Learning Center. While our numbers are down compared to pre-pandemic enrollment, we are glad to have some of our old students back together with several new ones. Please pray for the salvation of our new students and also for their families. Please help pray also for more teachers who are committed to reaching children and their families through Christian education.

All our children at Power of Grace Children’s Home are back to regular school work too. We have 7 students who are preparing to take the National Examinations for Senior High School. It is quite stressful for them as the exams have been delayed more than two time already. Please pray for these children as they take their tests and as they look forward to whatever the Lord has laid in store for their future. We want to thank you all who have participated in taking care of these children through your gifts and prayers.
