Sorry for the long delay since posting last, but I've been out in the "boonies." For those readers unfamiliar with American slang, that's "a remote location." About two hours east of here, towards the border with Vietnam, we have a church. They invited me to come out and teach all week from the book of Proverbs. I was also able to teach English to the youth during the week. Driving out there is a wild experience. We had to wait on the road while a large herd of water buffalos crossed the bridge in front of us.
We had a great day at our Prey Veng church today. Thirteen brave young new believers submitted to believers' baptism. Some of them were wavering this week, fearing persecution from the community and their own families. But in the end, everyone stood firm for Christ. We all gathered on the banks of the mighty Mekong River. After all were baptized, we loaded up the pickup we rented and some rode bicycles and motorcycles. We drove back through town, the young believers singing "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." What a joy! I'll get some photos posted for you soon.
