Julie Broyles is doing a terrific job as Director of the Partners-in-Progress English Bible Study school in Phnom Penh. Her blogs are full of exciting news and pictures.
Last September, she wrote, “I want to tell you about our new brother and sister in Christ! The most recent was a man named Myna. He is a student of Doris [Lohry]. Myna has been attending services on Sundays faithfully. He is married, and our hope is he will begin bringing his wife regularly, too.
“The weekend before, Doris had another student, a girl named Chantou, who was baptized. I don’t think she has quit smiling since! She is so excited! Her enthusiasm is so refreshing and contagious! She loves to sing and study and is filled with questions and the desire to learn more. We would turn the world upside down for Christ if we all had her enthusiasm.”
Nearly all WEI students in Cambodia come from Buddhist families, and leading them to Christ is a slow process. However, the Gospel is dynamite, and many Cambodians are becoming Christians.
Recently, Julie wrote, “Last Sunday, March 7, was a busy, wonderful day! After lunch, the church had a party and invited the English Bible Study students.
“Following the party, one of Sam Carpenter’s students, Leng Akeak, was baptized. When Akeak told his father about his baptism, the father told him he would not pay for his schooling if he continued to come. Please pray for Akeak. He is facing a difficult struggle.”
Myrna Rockwell says, “Earlier this month, a new teacher arrived from Oradea, Romania. Her name is Anca Gliga. She is a lovely young woman (38) who is a high school psychology teacher. She became a Christian six years ago after studying the World English Institute books with Tom Langley. She is totally dedicated to Christ and to teaching her students the Bible and English. She is a delight to all of us who know her.”
