Billy and Grace’s Farewell and Movie Night
As B & G were leaving on the 6th, the night of the 5th was reserved for their farewell party and Movie Night showing a Khmer Jesus film.
The night was MCed by Sopheap (in the picture with B & G). It started with some Khmer and English songs, then we had a few thank-yous from various church people and Nicole the guest house manager. They also wanted to know why B & G are leaving early, and if they didn’t approve, they would not let them go. The guest house staff also thanked us for helping them with their English. Bik (one of the guest house staff) presented a nice doll to each one of us. Grace and Billy returned their kind words with some words of encouragement.
The dinner was prepared by Bik’s mother, she owns a stall that sells Vietnamese Port Rolls. We started the movie after everyone received their rolls and a drink of water. It was encouraging to see the guest house cook Lee stay at the start of the movie, as she is a strong buddist and doesn’t join in the staff Wednesday morning bible study. More encouraging is that Bik and Jantrea (another guest house staff) stayed to the end of the 3 hour movie. Sokiah (the 4th staff) was sick that day, but joined the movie towards the end. The movie started at creation, fall, abraham, prophesy of Jesus then Jesus’ story from birth to ascension after resurrection.
Please pray for Bik, Jantrea, Sokiah and Lee. Jantrea has 6 more pages before completing the story book Billy bought him.
