The following is an email update sent from David Bales, who is in Cambodia with Chiv and Emara In:
I have to apologize for my inconsistency in blogging. Part of it can be blamed on the lack of wifi at moments I could have posted blogs, but it’s also because things are moving so fast and I want to drink it all in and (quite selfishly, I’m sure) I don’t want to go off by myself and blog about it. But I do want you to know what’s going on, because it’s all pretty amazing.
Chiv is pretty unstoppable around here. The days with full agendas get flat out crazy and when he says, “We don’t have anything on the agenda, so we’ll sleep in and drive to Battambang after lunch,” like he ...

Please read the update below from Sharon:
"We arrived in Siem Reap and God is continuing to do amazing things!! We stopped in Saruns village on the way to share the gospel; he thought we might have 50 people but ended up with over 100. It was down a smaller dirt track than other villages.
"We shared the gospel in small groups with salvation necklaces and with a separate group for children. In many of the places the adult small groups are having very good questions with people truly seeking to understand. When we got back together as a big group we asked who wanted to accept Jesus and be baptized, 52 people came forward, mostly children.

So we went to the newest village where we have made a connection today - Preay Tom - very near the Thai border.

There were great questions from the people about all kinds of things like can they still go to the Buddhist monks for certain things if they accept Christ, etc. Then Chiv asked if any would like to be baptized, and we went down to a pond and baptized dozens - not sure exactly how many. But there were all ages, men and women, and families together, which is great to see.

The 3rd group to head to Cambodia in the last month left Dallas/Fort Worth early Thursday morning. Their travel went relatively smoothly. Unfortunatley two of the teams bags, one with ministry items, didn't make the trip. The airline has promised to deliver them some time today.
The team got a little rest in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, before waking early to head to the dedication of a new church in Svay Cheat. The team shared a Bible story through drama. Nickie and Rachel were able to share briefly with 3 girls who had many questions. They have asked us to pray that they would have the right words to say when the team returns to Svay Cheat later next week. From there the team continued on to Battambang to spend then night.
As we ...
