This week we received an email from our friend Pastor Bunreth who is directing the Bible School, that we were able to help start in Cambodia, January of 2012.
The IVBI School continues on each month while we're gone under the directorship of Pastor Bunreth. Below are pictures from this months classes on the farm.
Rains flooded most of the roads leading to the school location which is underneath a farm house that is on stilts, located several miles from Svay Reing.
The muddy roads created a challenge for Pastor Bunreth getting to the school this month. Here the car is stuck in the mud.
As children watched from the flooded fields, farmers came to help fill up the potholes in the ground so cars could get by.
They use tree branches and shrubs. Actually, whatever will work to fill the potholes up.
At the school, students are taught the Word. They stay at the school for 4 days each month, then return to work on their farms.
While at the school they are fed their meals and in the evening they sleep on hammocks or on the ground.
On the last day of school, the students are tested on the material they have learned. There aren't any desk here just old stained chairs sitting in the dirt being used as desk.

Many of these students pastor a small congregation of farmers in their local communities. What they learn in the 4 days of training is taken back to their local congregations.
Some of the students travel several hours by motorcycle just to get to the school. They are dedicated and hungry to learn despite the hardships encountered. Makes me wonder....how hungry are we for God's Word in our seat cushioned, air conditioned churches!
Please remember to pray for these heros of the faith as they share and begin multiplying God's Kingdom in the outlying farmlands of Cambodia.
