After leaving India, I spent two weeks teaching WEI students at the Partners in Progress Center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Barney Cargile, David Tedla, Judith Mackey, and I joined Julie Broyles, and Anca Gliga. Julie is the Director of the PIP English/Bible Study Center. Anca was led to Christ by Tom Langley during a WEI campaign in Oradea, Romania several years ago. She had been teaching for several months when we arrived.
My first student each morning was a Buddhist monk named Voeun Sarom. I found him to be amazingly open and friendly.
My 11 o’clock student was a young Muslim named Sen Mohamath. One day, Mohamath said, “We Muslims pray five times a day. How often do you pray?” I replied, “I pray without ceasing. In fact, I pray for you every day.” Then I demonstrated how I prayed for him. When I looked up, his eyes were filled with tears.
Julie is doing a marvelous job directing the school, but she needs more teachers to keep the school running year around. If you can spend a month or more teaching WEI students in Phnom Penh, contact Julie at juliebroyles1@gmail.com. The PIP Center accommodates six teachers at a time. Food and lodging will cost you only $13 a day. That may be the best deal anywhere in short-term missions.
