That was a question I got from one of my Bible Study students last night. I was taking them through a lesson on the original sin from a foundational Christian doctrine book, and at the end of class, this was one of the questions that was presented to me. The gentleman was a new beliver who has not had much theological background. Amazing.

Such are these, that are the generation that God has given to the nation of Cambodia. Jenny & I strive to fill them with as much Bible as we can before our time here comes to an end. Almost all of these students come from families who live in the rural provinces. They frequently visit them on weekends, or holidays, etc. Here, in Phnom Penh, we fill them with knowledge and impartation of Jesus, and we pray that they give that Light away to their families, on the occasions they visit them.

Everyday abounds with opportunity to give away what Christ has given to us. St Francis is known to have said, "Ïf I die with $5 in my pocket, I am to be known as a thief and a liar." Francis was talking about riches, but we endeavour to be like that Spirtually, giving away all we possess of God, so that others can know of His goodness and love. The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Corinth that we "have nothing, yet possess all things." Do we believe this? More importantly, do we naturally live our lives in accordance with this truth? The answer can be obtained by a quick glimpse at the Church today.

The last week has been fairly routine. I have been putting the final touches on the new CMO website -->HERE<--, and have been doing some good studying (Church History In Plain Language by Bruce L Shelley).
We have been teaching English at our 5:30-6:30p class, and have been teaching the Bible for an hour after class as well. Mon-Wed-Fri, I teach the Gospel of John; and Tue-Thu I teach Foundational Christian Doctrine from a new believers book entitled The New Life in Christ. The classes have gone well, so far. I usually have about 10 Cambodians who stay after class to learn about Jesus, and Jenny has similiar numbers. I teach the men, Jenny teaches the ladies.
Tomorrow I take a rabbit trail away from John to teach on the Passover. My students are excited, as am I.

In other news, Jenny & I have telephone interviews scheduled at Double H Ranch concerning employment this summer. We are praying to get positions there, which will lead to us putting a trailer on our land in PEI, and which will allow us to get back to the mission field in the Fall again. Prayers are, once again, appreciated. Thanks.

Soon, we will be household face all over Phnom Penh!! Maybe?!

This is the new flyer for New Hope English School; a part of Cambodia Mission Outreach. As I write, these flyers are being handed out to the 4 corners of this city in hopes that we can draw more people to the school here. The goal for these new students: to learn english. Our goal for these new students: to hear the Gospel.

For all you holier-than-thou Christians who do not know what this icon is.....................it is the infamous Playboy Bunny, and he is THE MAN here in Phnom Penh. This furry fellow can pop up on ANYONE'S jacket, shirt, pants, or shoes. It's kinda funny, cause many Cambodians don't even realize what the Bunny represents!! Because it is a popular symbol in America, it is a popular symbol in Cambodia. You can even buy Playboy underwear in the markets here!!

Last week, and this week, there is a 12 person YWAM team here from Hawaii. They are taking over Jenny & I's New Hope School responsibilities, so that means, Jenny & I have some extra time to devote to other projects. I am currently creating a new website for Cambodia Mission Outreach, complete with downloadable missionary applications. You can view my progress at www.cambodiachurch.weebly.com .

We continue to teach the New Hope English School on weekday evenings, and Jenny and I are also teaching hour long Bible studies mon-fri, 6:30-7:30pm. Right now I am teaching from a foundaton Christian doctrine book, and also from the Gospel of John. Discipleship is one of the greatest needs here in Cambodia.

I read a book on Martin Luther and the Reformation a few days ago, and that got me hungry for some Church History. There is a Christian Bookstore in Phnom Penh (what are the odds!!) and I bought Church History in Plain Language by Bruce L Shelley. That should give me some good meat to chew on for awhile.

Please pray for Jenny & I, that we would be consumed with our relationship to God. Intimacy is the most important thing in a relationship with God, even moreso on the field. We need to keep feeding ourselves on His presence.
