WHAT A GREAT DAY

Worship at the University Church which meets at the Best Center.
We sing (English along with Khmer when both are in our books).
Many of the songs are written only in Khmer so we listen.
There were about 60 adults in attendance yesterday. 

 Sunday was a busy and joyous day.  We first got up and went to the Phnom Penh Church of Christ where we have attended in the past.  They meet from 8:00-10:00 am.  The minister from that congregation also spoke at the University congregation for the afternoon worship period.  The young man (Try) is the minister for the University congregation.  There were also 3 from the Ship of Hope in attendance.

Baptisms take place in this stainless steel tub.  This lady will
join her 2 sisters as Christians.

With her decision to be baptized this family will be united
in Christ.  Her husband has been a believer for 2 years.



Potluck, or any meal, always includes rice.  Fruit is a dessert
of which there is an abundance here, many we don't recognize.
The breads were filled with different things.



The Christian Dorm Students taught a children's class during
worship period, then helped the children during potluck.
The responsibility they take is so impressive.

 

 

Two ladies had indicated that they wanted to be baptized today.  Several came some distances from villages to witness their decision.  It was a joyous day for many.

Everyone gathered in the courtyard and rejoiced with these families.  It is a big decision for Cambodians to make as it changes the traditions of families. 

There were about 75 gathered who ate the potluck meal following the baptism.  There were sandwiches, rice, vegetable/meat 'soup' to put over the rice, fruit, breads and a hot bean/tapioca dessert.  It was a good time for fellowship.

Children of members and neighborhood guests were present for a Bible class.  It was good to see the College Dorm students teaching these classes.  They spent hours preparing worksheets, along with pictures to show from a projector.  They had centers set up to teach.  These are new Christians who are not afraid to share the Bible.
