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 9^th 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.

AIC - SY 2010-2011

Academy International Cambodia Started the new school year last September 13, 2010.  At present there are 30 students enrolled.  The student population is composed of Cambodians, Americans, Filipinos and Japanese.  We thank the Lord of the sacrificial and loving service of our Academy staff in the training of these children both in academics and in the things of the Lord. 

CBBC Update!

Cambodia Baptist Bible College is already two weeks into the school year 2010-2011.  Including those who are trying to complete credits for graduation next year, we have a total of 41 students all in all.  It is really a blessing and a privilege to be witnesses of how the Lord transforms newly saved believers into effective servants of the Lord.  While not all who go through our Bible college go into full-time service, we are very thankful for those who keep on in the service amidst all kinds of trials and testings.  We praise the Lord for our fellow missionaries and Cambodian brethren  who are really a tremendous help in providing able instruction for the students at CBBC.
