They are back...

A week passed, the team went to Singapore finally came back to Phnom Penh safely. The two boys and the teachers all seems healthy and full of joy. This is an eye opening trip for them to know about the Boys' Brigade in Singapore. They had chance to participate in some programs and observed the operation of the BB there. They had opportunity to visit to MMS office and BB HQ too. Thanks for the Singapore team from Bedok Church in hosting them with love and patience. Thanks to some friends over there that volunteerly brought them out for a walk or some meals.

May God continue to equip the Cambodian BB team so that they will try their best to lead the BB in MSC to be closer to God's plan.

Follow-up:

1. There will be the first BB camp in the month of May to train up approx. 30 leaders chosen among the boys and BB teachers in the school.

2. There will be a BB mission team from Singapore to come to the school for demonstrating and guiding the drill and other areas by the end of the year.

* Pray that all these follow-ups planned would be carried out smoothly and glorify God's name.

* Thanks for all the prayers that up-hold them during this period of time. Praise the Lord.

*** We will be back to Malaysia on April... see you all then in Chin Daw Church, Kuching.

Pray for SK

Dear PPs,

As involving in Boys' Brigade in the school, sk will lead a team to Singapore next week (17 March to 23 March) for a conference. This is the first time for him to lead a 'team' out of the country. Furthermore, we have another 3 teachers and 2 secondary students in that team, 4 of them have never traveled abroad before. Please pray for the team:

1. May God protect and smoothen their journey to Singapore and back to Cambodia.

2. May God protect their health as the Cambodian teachers and students might be able to adjust themselves to the food and the weather in Singapore.

3. May God grant sk wisdom to deal with any circumstances that might occur next week.

4. As the schedule for the conference is very tied, may God give them strength and energy to absorb and understand the lessons.

5. May God open their eyes to see the blessing and mercy of this opportunity granting to them.

Thanks for your support in prayers, we appreciate your participation in our work very much. May God bless you in your work and family.

Happy CNY.....

Happy belated Chinese New Year

May the blessing of God pour into you and your family.

This year CNY, we had an open house for all the teachers and all the secondary students as well. We have two classes of Grade 7, two classes of Grade 8, Grade 9 and Grade 10 classes. Although not all the students came but they were enough to explode our house. hihi... We were very touched by some of the classes, which wanted to pray before having their foods volunteerily. We also thank God that this year CNY was on Sunday. Previously there is no holiday for CNY in Cambodia, we all need to work during the CNY.

Here are some of the pictures to share.... enjoy....

BW's New Roles

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Hello from Cambodia.

May the Lord be with you in this new year.

Update for BW for Computer Course in school:

Since bw is working on the computer courses in school. Lately, we have added a few computer programs for different needs.

1st: Training for our school teacher on Microsoft office, excel, etc..

As the exam system in Cambodia is computerized now, all the exam papers need to be printed and no longer handwritten. We provide some basic training for our teachers.

2nd: Computer's club for Grade 8 to Grade 10.

Due to there are some upper Grade's students who are good in computer, this is to give them more opporunity to learn others program beside our school co-curriculum. We are specifically trained them in movie editing, as the future school movie might be able to be created by our students themselves.

3rd: Internet Access during school lunch break.

During this period of time, the upper grade's students always hang around at the cyber cafes nearby our school. This Internet Access facilities can attract them to stay back in school, rather than loiter out there. PTL, we have 10 computers that can online now.

Beside the computer programs, in this new school year, BW started to help in GB's programs on Saturdays morning 7am to 9am.

Prayer items:

1. May God give her wisdom and strength to manage all the computer programs.

2. BW is sick. She's having fever and cough. pray that God will heal her in His almighty way.

Christmas Assembly 2009

With the mercy from the Lord, the Christmas Assembly 2009 started and finished in such a blessed weather. The few days before the assembly, we struggled with sweat and the imagination of students have to sit under the big, hot sun. Suprisingly, on the assembly's morning, we had such a wonderful, cloudly, windy morning. Praise the Lord that all the students and teachers can enjoy a wonderful morning...

Around 150 guests turned up, including students' parents, relatives and friends. Throughout the different programs such as dance, songs and dramas which related to the message of Christmas. We wish that the holy spirit of Lord worked in the guests, students and teachers' hearts, so that the message about our Lord, Jesus will impact their life.

For us, this seems to be an end to the busyness throughout these Christmas season. May all the glory be unto God, and may His name be heard near or far. May we also have a good rest during the school holidays (24/12 to 3/1). Merry Christmas!! This is a good time to revisit our Saviour in the manger!!

Dedication Service + Opening Ceremony

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

May God bless you in this festive seasons.

Our school has gained a lot of blessing throughout these period too. With the completion of the new school building, we had the Dedication Service on last Friday morning, on the windy new rooftop. We dedicated this building for the marvelous works that God has been doing and he is going to do on this piece of land. May this building continuously become a blessing to Cambodian and bring forth the good message of God.

After the dedication service, we continued with the opening ceremony and invite the Singapore ambassador and team to join the ceremony. The day ended with a refreshment for guests and our special BB & GB teams.

New School Year

Dear brothers and sisters,

May the peace of God be with you, continuously.

Sorry for being late this month, as the starting of the new school year, we are busy in getting the class and students ready. Furthermore, we are both class teacher for Grade 8 and Grade 7, there are more things that we need to look into compared to only teaching English last year.

New School Year

We thank God that He had provided us a good start in this school year. The new building construction is ready for our secondary students right before they came back to school on the month of October. Although there are still minor touch up of the construction here and there in the school, but all the students have proper class to use now.

For this new school year, we have enrollment of 700 students (Nursery + Kindergarten + Primary + Secondary), compared to last year figure on 540 students. We also have increased teachers to 45 full time and 17 part time. We have a bigger family in the school this year.

Our New Responsibilities

Thanks for be with us in prayers and supports. As the start of school year, please pray for us:

1. Pray for the wisdom and love for the students as we are their class teachers, English teachers and Christian Education (CE) teachers now. We are really excited in becoming their CE teachers. This is a golden opportunity to let the students know more about gospel. Pray that we have wisdom and strength from God in handling this.

2. As more works in coming in now, pray for the better time management in our works and also spiritual life.
