Cambodia - Monthly Report
August 2022
A warm welcome from Cambodia. We all appreciate your prayers and encouragement to the Bible Institute.
August 2022 school report.
IBISR’s Academy
Piseth Rin, one of our Bible instructors, has been lecturing on the book of Judges this week. Some pupils are eagerly studying and asking plenty of questions, which inspires our teachers to teach with passion. Darat Run, another of our instructors, hasn’t finished his course yet (The Life of Christ) since he had to take care of his mother-in-law, who recently underwent back surgery and lives in the city of Phnom Pehn (about 6 hour drive from Siem Reap).
A New Baptism
As brethren in Christ, we are all so excited and full of joy when one of our Bible students put the Lord Jesus in her life. Her name is Maneth. She comes from Oddar Meanchey Province, one of the provinces in Cambodia. She has been studying at our institute for almost a year. Please keep her in our prayer to help her be faithful throughout her life.
Student Monthly Survey
We are still working on our Monthly Survey since it has helped improve our institution so much. This evaluation includes all comments and helpful criticism of our school, the Bible instructors, the cook, the English teacher, and the students themselves. All students and staff are welcome to share their opinions through this survey, which is anonymous and allows for comments and constructive criticism. The students and staff are not required to offer their identifications seem to intrigue them, according to this survey. We concentrate on broad concerns rather than a specific ones. We encourage students and employees to seek confidential help first if they are having a personal problem with one another.
A Weekly Virtual Chapel
Wes Autrey, our coordinator, and his wife Teri Autrey share important God’s messages in both male and female groups via virtual meetings every Tuesday and Friday, for which we are incredibly grateful.
Every Wednesday, we also get together with our brothers from Phnom Penh, Battambang, and Siem Reap. Every week, we switch up the teachers.
A Substitute Teaching
While one of our teachers named Darat Run had been to Phnom Penh to take care of his mother-in-law who had an operation, brother Phanat Ouch spent a week in helping to resume the class that brother Darat has paused.
Monthly Fellowship Dinner
Due to the monthly donations from the congregation in Siem Reap and our Christian families, this special fellowship lunch is made possible. We are all very thankful for their devotion to God because it shows how our church has expanded and allowed our new Christian members to see how a disciple of Jesus values giving. Every month, we hold this picnic. Typically, this occurs on Saturday nights during the first week of the month. We alternate the location where we celebrate this supper each month. As a result, the world will observe how Christians interact with each other, strengthening us to maintain fellowship with one another.
A Weekly Lady Class
The ladies like to spend more time rehearsing and learning how to educate the kids, and the other ladies, as well as they, offer all the ladies a try to lecture in the women's group as they alternate turns to instruct the kids every Sunday morning. At Hannah’s Hope Children’s Home, they often get this instruction every Sunday night. They have benefitted from this exercise in developing their courage and learning from one another on how to train the young people and the female group.
Asking Prayers
We couldn’t create these works without your prayers and support. Please remember our students in your prayers so that they will be at peace and prepared to teach Bible lessons. Please remember our new mothers and newborns. Also remember Pros’ grandfather, who is suffering from a stroke, and Darat’s mother- and mother-in-law who just underwent surgery.
