Intro to Computers 101

Here the students are studying the internal components of a desktop computer. They are learning about the power supply, ps/2 ports, USB ports, Parallel ports, etc. They are also learning how to troubleshoot common system problems. We hope by gaining computer skills the students will be better equipped in the future to serve the Lord and the Church in Cambodia. Please pray for them as they study.

At the Church of Mercy Discipleship Center the students have group worship each evening from 7:30 - 9:00. They sing hymns, have Bible study and group prayer. It is evident the Lord is at work in them as we hear them discuss the Word and pray. We are all encouraged and inspired to press on in the Faith.

Pray the Lord would continue to build the bond of Christian fellowship in us as we work and worship together.


Grace and Peace,

IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH!!!

The power lines from Vietnam seem to be well on their way to bringing Prek Ambel 24 hours of continuous power per day. The utility crew installed 4 lines yesterday and we have been told the power will be available in one month. This will enable many simple things like fans for worship, refridgerators, and lights but also more important things like day computer classes, printing, and the use of recording and mixing equipment.

The students have taken a week of vacation to visit family and celebrate the Chineese new year. We are scheduled to start back on Monday. Please continue to pray for the work in Cambodia.

Peace,
Bill

(Children in Sre Trang)

The work continues on in the Cambodian countryside. Both churches are doing well in the Lord and the discipleship school is busy preparing students for the Lord's service. In Prek Ambel we have recently opened an English class for children from 5PM to 7PM every evening. The turnout has been amazing! Last night we had over 100 children in attendance. The class is one part English and one part Bible teaching. Many of the children were in church on Sunday. Please pray for this ministry as it is somewhat overwelming to have so many students. We have run out of chairs and tables but they don't mind to find a shady tree somewhere and sit on the ground to learn.

Please pray that the Lord would help us to steward these dear ones. Pray we would present the Gospel to them clearly and that the seed would find the good soil.

Grace and Peace,

Bill
