Lomer Hope dela Cruz from Cambodia

Dear Beloved ,

As of March 31, we had been here in Cambodia for 13 years. As I look back to what God has done through us all, I can’t help but praise Him. Our partnership has brought salvation to many, trained leaders and planted churches. WE are like a cord or a threefold rope. namely : 1. You pastor and the church, 2. my family as your missionary and 3. Our Cambodian national pastors and churches. Ecclesiastes 4:12 says “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken”.

We must continue to use our rope to pull us all together in these needy times. As we know, the rope is never intended to push but to pull, I am grateful that God has pulled us all together to fulfill the Great Commission in our generation.

This 1st quarter our fruits are: an average attendance of 320 in all 20 churches ; total tithes and offerings $151.15; missions offerings $ 17.82 ( these does not include our personal offerings) ; souls saved 93 and 16 baptized in our regular services.

We held 4 Youth Rallies in Snaor, Treng Trayoeng , Sre Ambel and Prey Nup Churches last February . God gave us a total of 623 souls that heard the Gospel Through songs, drama and Preaching. There was a total of 146 souls that got saved.

Our Roving Bible Institute continues to thrive with 5 new students added this quarter. Please pray for them namely, Sovat, Chumruen, Sovanh, Sokunthea and Dara. Preacher Chun Sung opened a new extension work in Veal Thom in Srok Sre Ambel and now he averages 45 every Saturday Bible Class. Thank God he now has a motorbike to use.

Our Primary School (Liberty English School) in Treng Trayoeng goes on with 27 kids.. Recently we had the parents come for the Quarterly Recognition Program last March 26 and they were happy to send their kids to our Sunday School. Preacher Phearun is also happy to have Bro. Hok Samnang surrender his life as assistant preacher in Treng Trayoeng.

Please pray for the following:
Good health: my sore back and neck, Grace’s ear problem, Gershom’s sinusitis
Safety, Wisdom and protection
Growth of New Believers
Training of National Pastors and leaders
Souls Saved at Youth Rallies to be held this May.

We are ever grateful to God for your prayers and support.
