Hey there! I
just want to update you guys on a few wonderful things God has been doing here
in Siem Reap, Cambodia!
My team of
13 students and one other staff have really been spread out in multiple
different ministries’ here in Siem Reap, there is so much work to do here! One
team is working at a school right in the city where they teach English, French,
Computer, Art, Music, and Dance. Another
team is volunteering in a village about 30 minutes away, they teach English,
Math, and Dance there and also have a Children’s Ministry where they teach
Bible and songs and also teach them personal hygiene. I take a team out about
an hour drive away in a village called Tapouk. It’s a brand new village though!
They have
never heard about Jesus, most of them all are Buddhist. Cambodian’s grow up believing
that they all have to be Buddhist because all Cambodians are Buddhist, so they
have a hard time receiving any other truth. But at this new village they are so
hungry for Education and for the real TRUTH! So my team that goes out there is
one girl from Russia who is 21 and one other girl from Northern Ireland and she
is 19. We have a children’s ministry that we play games, teach songs and
dances, and share about God’s story with them. It’s SO amazing to start off
from scratch and have a clean pallet for them since they have no preconceptions
about God!
We also
teach English to about 150students all under the age of 30. It’s a lot to split
between three of us but we truck forward and is worth it. The students
practically jump out of their seats when I ask one to come up to the front to
write something on the board. Their so hungry for learning!
God has
been giving my team and I so many opportunities here in Cambodia, it really is
a joy to serve the Lord here and see His Kingdom grow!
I have a
few prayer requests though,
One for
sickness. A lot of have been getting diarrhea and throwing up. The heat and the
working so hard really takes a lot of our bodies, but it’s worth it!
We are on
our last of three months on outreach, so pray for more encouragement and
motivation for my whole team.
Thank you
so much for all the prayer and support! Sending my love!
Eleanor
