Yong & Wendy’s Newsletter about PCC

We have had several Prayer Circles Rides since our last letter, Yong has joined them all and earlier this month both of us were able to join the team to ride up to the north east of Cambodia. Throughout these rides, we experienced God’s protection and blessing, His directing us to places and people and His growing of our faith and speaking out of our faith.

Brief History of the known status of the church in Preah Vihear Province

Boo Rut was one of the first believers that folks from World Team had contact when they went to Preah Vihear. He had been part of the Khmer Serey fighting faction which was both against the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese forces which invaded and freed Cambodia from the KR regime. He had acquired a French Bible and started reading it in the (60’s or 70’s?) and he had an interest in the message even though he did not fully understand the text. When the KR was defeated, Sihanouk was seeking to have political influence and the Khmer Serey aligned themselves with Sihanouk and later on the Funcinpec Party. Because of those affiliations, Boo Rut was invited to go to China to participate in some military training there. During those meetings in China, Rut met with a Reagan staffer that mentioned all people on the earth were equal and that we are all part of one family originating from Adam and Eve. Those statements really piqued his interest in God and he really wanted to know more about those things.

PCC Aug 2016 Northwest Side

PCC Jan 2016 Western Part of Cambodia

Chi Phat are has a church built there but nothing really going on at the present time. Bo and I asked about that when we came through in April 2015 and were told that a Korean group had built the Ch. The theory is that if you build it, the people will come. That has not proven to be true in practice though. There is some thought that Chinese business folks have discovered Titanium in the Chi Phat region and are planning to mine it out of there. This is supposed to be a protected area for eco-tourism, but this may be out the window if there is money to be made in titanium mining.
