NTCP Cambodia: Trip to Takeo

Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to leave the city for a while and visit several different churches and ministries in the province of Takeo. We were able to visit New Hope Baptist Church Trapang Tia and New Hope Baptist Church Cheng Chap. Although we were expecting things to be different, everything was much more different than we anticipated. Most of the places we visited did not even have electricity! We used the blue truck to charge an extra battery so that we could have some light. Most of the church services did not have a set time to start; it just began “after dark.” We were also surprised to see the Bible club that we could not drive to – we had to park and walk. After the short walk, a blue tarp with about 20 children sitting on it was along the side of the road. Later that evening, we went to another church service where we had to walk single-file on a dirt road between two rice fields. The Lord used the trip to the province to open our eyes to see the sacrifices Christians make in other parts of the world. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ that they will continue to boldly proclaim the Gospel.
