Sunday worship

Today we got the privelage of worshiping with the people of Cambodia. We started at a small church on the outskirts of Poipet. Four wheel drive was needed to get there due to the muddy conditions from yesterday's rain. Their worship is much like ours in that it includes singing, bible reading and preaching. The youth gave a skit that was simple and powerful to me. It reminded me of all the lost people in this world. We then headed back to CAMA services for the second service of the day. At both services our group sang a song and a couple of us shared our testimony.

After lunch, several folks split up and went to remote villiges to participate in worship there. One team was able to witness a couple accepting Christ. As part of their first act of becoming christians, they cut off the "spirit" bracelets of their twin babies (my understanding is that this is an occultic practice meant to wart off evil spirits). By doing this, they were demonstrating their new faith and trust in Jesus.

Several of us swept and mopped the church in preparation for english camp. We gathered for supper and Ron was able to unpack and set up the electic keyboard and cajon (square drum) we brought. They had made the flight without damage! Several of the youth enjoyed making music with the new instruments.

Tomorrow we start the first day of english camp. Since this is the first time most all of us have done this, I'm a little unsure what to expect. Pray for all the logistics of running a camp to get sorted out and for a great time to bond and share with the students. Please continue to pray for the health of the team.
