International Bible Institute of Siem Reap, Cambodia
Rejoicing for Souls Saved
It has already been a very emotional and productive year and we are just getting started.
We rejoice in the baptisms of 4 new souls added to the Lord’s church! On January 9, two new students in our Bible school put on Christ. Heus and Sanith, both from Tropeang Svay village outside of Siem Reap, had been studying with us and had many questions.
A few days later we rejoiced with the angels again in the addition of two young ladies, Sreymom and SreyTuk who have been learning about God and the Bible since small children. Now they have taken the step to be saved in Christ!
In Loving Memory
We are sad to have lost our dear brother Vannak Yeng on December 16th. Vannak was one of our oldest leaders in the church and school and leaves his wide, sister Puen and three teenage children. Even though his death was sudden and unexpected we know he abides in Paradise and the hope we all desire is now his. We are a very close family here at the church in Siem Reap, and we ask for your continued prayers because of the effect his passing has had. Even though Vannak was older he did not let perceptions become obstacles and he graduated from IBISR in 2015 and continued doing the work of the Lord teaching in the school and preaching. Vannak had done a lot of great work and his legacy will be remembered by everyone that knew him or of him.
Acts / Zoom Class

From the 04th to the 29th of January, the IBISR hosted a virtual online course through Zoom Clouds Meeting and lived stream on the IBISR's official page for watching later. That virtual class was about the Book of Acts.
The IBISR and E412 centers are so grateful you were our teacher, and we thank you for your patience throughout this whole course. It meant a lot to us. We had learned a lot even it was an online class. You are hands down and ready to answer all kinds of questions, you are the best teacher we've ever had. I'll always remember attending your class. You are the best teacher!. We wish you and your family all the best in 2021.
Courses Studied
Besides the recent Acts class on Zoom, Piseth has just finished his class on 1 & 2 Peter and Darat has just finished the book of Romans.
Upcoming Zoom Short Course
In a few weeks we are looking forward to being taught by brother Denny Petrillo on the subject of “How We Got the Bible”. We are excited to learn more about this topic.
Church
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hadn't spread much in Cambodia, the Ministry of Health has allowed us to meet in the church building as usual. We have gathered together in the church building since September 2020 in a small adult group, but now we spend two hours in a large group.
Thanks to everyone around the world.
Appreciation for all your support through physical and spiritual things. We couldn’t do all these things without the Lord and your contributions. Please keep us in your prayers!
Servants of Christ,
