Dinner was over, and the utensils and plates washed by the team of youth assigned to the task that evening.

As it grew dim, the mosquito coils came out, and to my amusement, the entire mess hall at the campsite was soon surrounded by the “smoky incense” from the coils!

Hauling sand, mixing cement, ploughing the fields, planting corn…! Who would have thought that our 50 teenagers would be involved in such hard labour on the official first day of the youth camp!

Finally, its our 5th day in Cambodia and after settling in at the camp site and a great morning of games and fellowship,

Once again, a long road journey lay ahead for our youth team in the 2009 December camp in Cambodia. It was time to check out of the guesthouse in Koh Kong, time to pack the luggage and themselves into the five vans. The vehicle which had broken down a few days ago, causing a lengthy

On Monday morning and the third day of the Cambodia Youth Camp, our fifty-over teenagers were looking forward to a thrilling ride over the high seas, and they were only disappointed because it was so short: less than 15 minutes! After breakfast, we put them 10 to a boat, and sent them off to Bangkachang

There was both work and play scheduled for Sunday afternoon after the church service and lunch. Work involved the first medical mission in the Baklang island community in Koh Kong; our Singaporean doctor had come prepared to see about 50 patients and had brought medicines for this purpose. The worker at the church told him

I absolutely didn’t feel like getting up that early Sunday morning. It was much too comfortable in my simple little room at the guesthouse in Koh Kong, Cambodia! However, it was the Lord’s Day, and the 4th anniversary of our little church on Baklang island. I had to get up!

I didn’t travel with the morning group to Cambodia. The second team of 22 brethren were booked on another flight that same afternoon, and I had gone to the airport scratching my head over HOW to check in 22 people in the fastest, most efficient way. I am no travel agent, and the thought of

Everyone was in high spirits. The morning group of 35 excited young people flew to Cambodia without incident. Questioned at the customs about the huge boxes of computers, medicine and other stuff they were carrying, but there was very little trouble. They finally piled into the vans for the anticipated four to five-hour ride to

Digging a well for water is not such a simple task in Cambodia. Especially on a piece of land which everybody says has no water.

Pastor Noe thought about it and decided that the people around must be wrong; God had led him to buy that land for ministry purposes – eventually it would be a

When Pastor Noe and Sister Grace were called to serve in Cambodia, they soon found a special burden in their hearts for the children – many of whom are the orphaned, the starving and abused, and unable to attend school. Their desire to help these children led them to purchase the site at Preynob many
