Well, I had no title for this post, but decided to go with today's date. I'll be 48 in less than a week. Seems like only yesterday, I was 18! My, how time flies!
We have over 30 Bible students that we are housing and feeding. These are poor students from the rural provinces who come to the capitol to study the Scriptures. Please assist us in prayer and support for these students. We have rented two houses: one for the male students and one for the female students. In addition, it costs about $300 a week in groceries to feed all these students. It would help us greatly if some churches would help sponsor some Bible students. We are giving them a place to stay, food to eat, and helping with things they need like pens, pencils, books, and personal toiletry items. This is a BIG need and we need your help!
We will coming back to the USA for a 6 month furlough beginning the week before Christmas and going through the first half of June. We would love to come by and update your church on the ongoing ministry here in Cambodia!
Please remember us, our churches, orphans, and student/disciples in your prayers and financial support! God bless you all!

hello,
For whatever reason, I've been thinking about Cambodia lately. I will be praying for you.
Can you explain the reason for Cambodia's poverty?
Thanks for your post, Ed! The reasons for Cambodian poverty? Well, I think you can break it down into three or four things. First of all, there's poverty due to corruption. The Book of Proverbs speaks a lot about the corrupt having control over the poor. Proverbs 14:31; 22:7; 28:15. Big problem in Cambodia. Secondly,hardships such as being displaced from land and homes, being maimed by landmines, orphaned, and widowed in a climate of poverty worsens the problem. Thirdly, many are poor because they are lazy and neglectful. And fourthly, poverty is a culture in itself. Poverty breeds poverty. Proverbs 10:15. People get caught in the cycle of poverty. Not having good nutrition and education perpetuates the problem. Thanks for your interest in Cambodia!
