Christmas in the East today

The Christmas celebration at Koh Kong Baptist Church was a joyous feast together. The believers prepared rice and curry, fried chicken, and many other special dishes. The fellowship was great. They praised God for His blessings during the past year. Commemorating the first advent of our precious Lord Jesus is such a special time of the year. What a contrast to the darkness of Buddhists and Moslems around them. The Christians rejoice together in knowing the Savior who came to earth, and is King over all kingdoms and nations.  The dinner was held on December 11 because several of the members will be traveling out of town in the next two weeks. Please pray that God would give them safety and use them for His glory wherever they go.

God continues to help Lalin as he leads the church. He is still unable to get ice cream for his ice cream shop because of the recent flooding in Thailand. Also he needs to go to the capital, Phnom Penh, in order to get a new license plate for our motorcycle. Please pray for God to help him in these matters.

Praise God for His people around the world celebrating, and sharing the good news of Christ. Thank you for praying.
