Khmer New Year, the biggest holiday of the year in Cambodia, was celebrated this past week. Schools closed for almost one month, offices closed about a week, and many people traveled to visit relatives in other provinces. Koh Kong received many visitors and guest houses were busy. Many families enjoyed Safari World, the beach, waterfalls, and the parks.We got some exercise bicycling late one afternoon, but tried to avoid groups of youth alongside the road throwing water on passing motorcyclists and bicyclists to celebrate. Each house laid out an offering of fruit, flowers and incense, often under an arch of braided palm branches and colored lights.This was their welcome to the New Year's "angel". Please pray that people would turn away from false worship and turn to the living God.
R., the new believer and her family came for supper with us on Tuesday. We were able to share the gospel with her husband. Please pray that he would accept Christ.
God has helped L. and I two days this week running errands in Phnom Penh. We saw Him arrange contacts and timings. The Christian book store agreed to sell the Matthew commentary, L. talked to several people with info to help her preparing to come to university in the capital this fall. Please pray for God's guidance in her life.
Thank you for praying.
1 John 5:21 "Little children, keep yourselves from idols."
