Cambodia Missions Report (May 2007)

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Cambodian New Year or Chaul Chnam Thmey in the Khmer language, is the name of the Cambodian holiday that celebrates the new year. The holiday lasts for three days, most commonly, from April 13th to 15th, Sometimes the holiday falls between the 14th to 16th of April. This time of the year represents the end of the harvesting season. The farmers enjoy the fruits of their harvest and relax before the rainy season begins.

During this Khmer New Year, I and my family had wonderful time and good resting in the Lord.

I would like to take this opportunity to thanks and appreciation from the bottom of my heart to Rev Charles Seet and Rev Colin Wong and Elders and deacons and all the life BP church members for praying and supporting of our Cambodia mission.
