Military Camp ministry




Please pray for our latest ministry at Camp 51.  It's a 30-minute scooter ride from our place and we train Christian military wives to be teachers of God's Word. We just started last month with 12 mothers. It's challenging because most of the mothers cannot read even in Khmer.

Discipleship Camp 2011






9 campers were able to join the PYBC Discipleship Camp in Ken Svey, Phnom Penh last April 11-13. The theme "Loving God" was timely for the newly-baptized believers.


It's time to practice sharing the Gospel!







with fellow missionaries in Cambodia...
    


 






                    It was also a good time for fun and fellowship.
                    The youth from Sisophon gained new Khmer and Filipino friends. 
                    Please pray for them to use the things they have learned in the camp. 
                    To God be all the glory!

Our First Baptism

 


After a year of labor, God blessed us with these wonderful new believers who are willing to grow more in the faith. We praise and thank God for the first 11 believers who obediently followed Jesus in water baptism last March 8.











What a blessing  to personally see how God works in the lives of these youth. Please help pray that we would reach out to their families as well. 












To our friends and fellow laborers who prayed for us, thank you very much. It is our joy to teach them to love Jesus more and more.


Thank you once again for being a part of God's ministry here in Svey Sisophon.

January-February News

Our regular routine resumed after we had our Christmas and New Year break. 
We started our regular lunch fellowship every Sunday after the worship service. This is a good time for us to bond with everyone as we get to help each other in the food preparation and cleaning-up afterwards. 



The youth also had an outdoor fellowship at Chan Sa’s place and we’re praying that we could have a regular schedule to visit each youth’s place. 


We were blessed to have witnessed the baptism of Preah Yessu Baptist Church, Poipet. This activity is indeed timely since we planned to have our very first baptism in March.  This also gave our youth a chance for fun and fellowship with friends from Poipet.

Post Hearts’ Day Special, February 20. 
We used this opportunity to teach our Khmer youth about love and what the Bible has to say about it. We presented some verses and gave them time for questions and discussion.

Thank you very much.

Christmas 2010


Our Christmas celebration was full of fun and fellowship. The children in our village outreach were given special gifts. A special program was held at a nearby military camp. In our church and English students’ party, the youth sang Christmas carols and our Sunday school children presented a short play. Pastor Arturo Bastes, our speaker, clearly explained the Good News. 


After all the parties, the missionaries were blessed to have their break. The Nierrases spent some time in Bavet, Cambodia. They were able to attend Cambodia’s missionaries’ retreat. Rhoda enjoyed her time with her previous co-labourers in the Lord in Bangkok and also went to a mission trip in Chang Mai, Thailand while Esil went home to the Philippines.  Thank you for all your prayers and support. Please continue to pray for our visa needs (Nierras Family and Rhoda). To God be the glory!
