We continue travelling far and wide, reporting to you our partners on the progress of the work in Cambodia. Here are four ways we ask you to pray:
1. Pray for the infant church in Na Ong village. Pray for faithfulness in attendance at weekly gatherings, growth in knowledge and grace, freedom from powerful life-long habits, and protection from false teaching.
(Vi and Peng are married)
- On Sunday, August 11, three new believers were baptised into Christ, bringing our total membership in Na Ong to twelve! Praise God for new life (in our absence!), and pray these your new brothers and sister in Christ: Peng, Vi, and Sing.

2. Pray for Pro-in and Vanda (pictured above with their families), our church-planting partners in Na Ong village. Pray for wisdom and diligence in shepherding the new believers.
3. Pray for the Stung Treng Bible School.
- Pray for strength and wisdom for the teachers as we prepare materials appropriate for our students. More specifically, my two colleagues, Scott and Rafi, are carrying extra weight in my absence. And please pray for me as I seek to complete a book that we will use in future Bible school sessions.
- Pray that our students would grow in their commitment to Scripture as their ultimate authority, and in their ability to read it meaningfully.
4. Pray for us as we continue travelling and reporting to partner churches in the US. Pray for health and safety and for meetings that will be profitable for the sake of the gospel among the peoples of NE Cambodia.
- Abi, Isa, and Gloria began their college year last week. Isa (Humanities) and Abi (nursing) are in their third year, and Gloria (nursing) is a Freshman.
- Eden, Judson, Salem, Henry, and Elisha are finishing up an extended summer break and will resume their studies mid-September, a few weeks before we return to Cambodia.
