Back from Siem Reap!
Over the past week the team (as well as Bunny and Srewot from Celebrating Church) spent a few days at Siem Reap, about 6 hours’ bus ride north of Phnom Penh. It’s a very touristy town and the gateway to Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and other historic buildings.
We had a great time of fellowship and rest. While we were up there, we had the opportunity to attend the Siem Reap Christian Fellowship where we met a team from YWAM. There’s a Canadian family with two girls (aged 15 and 17) who just sold everything they owned, to go and follow God on the mission field. I was totally amazed to meet such strong and faithful young ones – knowing what I was like at their age!
We also got to catch up with Thiasaurus, Hamon, Aunty Debbie and Uncle Peng – it was great to see some familiar faces!
The bus ride back was quite eventful – a burst tyre means we were stuck on the side of the road for an hour and a bit as Uncle Paul helped the driver and attendant change the tyre. The rest of us kinda supervised. Bunny mentioned how other passengers were amazed at Uncle Paul’s helpfulness – he’s really been looking after us well! There was also a mouse on board, which made things interesting.
Anyway, blink and it’s time for Grace and I to head home. We really have had an unforgettable time. Please keep praying for Cambodia – even in the short time we were here, we have seen SO MANY opportunities for service. For us, we need to head home and really pray and see where God will take us. Hope to catch up with you all when we get back!
God bless,
Billy & Grace
