Our ministry is working with Teen Challenge Cambodia. We were teaching English, Bible study and just hanging out with the guys. About a week ago a team of Australian men came to build a pig pen for Teen Challenge so now we just go hang out with the guys and help build whenever we can. Teen Challenge has men from 14 to 45. We really think the 3 youngest are around 9 or 10 yrs. old. These boys/men are coming out of addictions. They come to Teen Challenge for 12 months for counseling, learning and Bible classes. They learn about Jesus here and many have accepted Christ. These boys/men all have a story. Some have signs of past abuse and some never felt love. I can’t imagine what they have been through but God is working in them. All the boys here are amazing and so full of love. It’s going to be hard leaving them. Cambodia does not have many Christians at all so it will be hard for them when they get out of the program. Some of them don’t have family to go home to. They don’t have anybody to love them and care about them. Please be praying for these precious boys. That God will provide community for them when they finish Teen Challenge. We love these precious boys.
We also teach English classes at the church every night at 6pm. Cambodian people are just so beautiful. We love our students. They are so excited and want to learn English so bad. Our class is full of students from 6yrs old to adults. They all know different levels of English so it’s hard to teach, but we all have fun in class and enjoy every minute of it. This past Saturday we shared our testimony with the class and surprised them with snacks. They loved hearing our story and loved the surprise party. Some students always hang around after class talking to us and just asking questions. They love asking us questions! They tell us they love us and don’t want us to leave. God is moving here. I love the ministry this month and I love Cambodia! The people of Cambodia have my heart.
