An Update from Cambodia

From Richard Roberts

Here is an update from our fellow co-worker in Christ, Bora Chheang, who is laboring at translating Christian resources for our brothers and sisters in Cambodia.  He is one of the lead translators of the team who published the Jesus Storybook Bible in Khmer.  We are still on schedule to produce a 2nd printing of 5,000 copies because the previous 6,000 books have already been distributed!!  Praise the Lord!

Bora's team is also working on producing some downloadable coloring pages to go with the JSB, so that children can color along with the lessons.  Thank you, Bora!

Bora and his wife, Bunry, live in Phnom Penh and minister to their neighborhood.  The following is their prayer letter:
​

"We are doing well. And we want to thank you for your prayers and support. 
 
We’ve never felt the urgency of getting the gospel out like we are feeling right now, although it should be like this everyday, Bora has had many sleepless nights as of late. With COVID-19 outbreak, many Cambodians are turning to social media for resources. We have seen a steady stream of self-proclaimed and yet false prophets and false teachings flowing into our country and thus in response we have also translated and written against them in hope that the LORD will use it to protect the state of the church here. Please continue to pray.
 
Here are a few prayer requests from us:

• Pray for the church to stay strong in the midst of, what I would call “physical distance”, since we stay plenty connected via “social” media.
• Pray for the unemployed and job losses due to Coronavirus.
• Pray for Bunry as she continues to minister to the kids in our neighborhood.
• Pray for the translation team as some of us are working from home now.
• Pray for Bora as he prepares to preach on “The Sovereignty and Faithfulness of God”.

 
All to His Glory,
The Chheangs"
