6.1 cambodia

i had a great time last weekend when my family came over to Cambodia to visit me. Thank God for that time we had to catch up with each other. My family joined part of the ministry here. Thank God for opening our eyes to see the lifestyle of the locals here.

Water Festival here was on last Saturday till Monday. It was really exciting to see the boat races on the river as well as the small stalls set up all along Sisowath Quay. We spend some time travelling around the city during that 3 days to experience the excitement shared by the locals. Imagine having 2 and a half million people gathering at the riverside.

The whole of Cambodia is in the holiday mood this few days. Last Saturday till Monday were public holidays because of the Water Festival. Tomorrow is Independence Day, another public holiday.

Continue to pray for the children here, during the Water Festival, i saw many children collecting rubbish, begging at the streets. and the worst part was when they had to surrender all the collected to an adult. they dont get to keep any of their hard work. some children that were begging around had their limps chopped off. It was really a pitiful sight.

Pray for the police and government authorities here. Bribery is rampant.

Pray for the street children that we are ministering to. Due to the Water Festival, big vehicles were not allowed into the city. We still went to the normal places in a land cruiser. But many children couldnt recognize the land cruiser. Do pray that the children will still come to the bus this week when the bus is allowed in the city.
