Dear friends,
We had an awesome Celebration Service this morning with around 350 of our folks in attendance. I’m always amazed to see how many people willingly devote so much time into making the service run smoothly. We thank God for the host of national folks who love the Lord and joyfully do their part to make it happen for God’s glory!
VIDEO FROM THE SERVICE THIS MORNING
Please click on the video below to watch an interview I did with a pastor from the States as well as to hear a sample of some of the singing from this morning’s service!
It was a joy for us to see more than 20 folks follow the Lord in Believer’s Baptism this morning. For some of these new believers it will be the beginning of persecution by family members and others who hate them for their decision to become a Christian. Please pray for the new believers to remain strong in the Lord.
It’s a great blessing to report to you that Narun trusted Christ this past week! He is a product of the outreach in Ondong village. His wife, Sokum, was saved a couple of months ago and was baptized this morning. Lord willing, Narun will follow the Lord in Believer’s Baptism next month. Pray for Narun and Sokhom to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ly is the husband and father of several of our members. He attended the service this morning but is not yet saved. Several of us have dealt with him for extended periods of time to answer his questions and I believe that he is clear on his need for a personal Saviour and is counting the cost of becoming a Christian. Please pray that Ly will be saved soon.
Because of God’s grace,
Dave & Debbie

Praise the Lord! I am greatly encouraged at the work God is doing through the Pacific Baptist Church Pnom Penh. When I think of this church I think of Romans 1:16. I am praying the Lord continues to use this church to be light and salt in their villages and towns.
It is a blessing to see this service every month and see the fruit that is being produced not only by American Missionaries, but by the Local Nationals reaching out to people hours away from PBCPP. This visiting Pastor said it well that team missions is really the way to go with the right leader in place, and week after week it thrills my heart to see the fruit being produced. Praise the Lord!!
