Siem Reap, Cambodia
To begin, I want to apologize for our failure to post any blog updates for the past two months. We have been very busy and consequently much has happened that we need to update all of our prayer partners on. This will be the first of several blog updates in the next few days. I am going to attempt to organize the updates both chronologically and by area of labor.
We have been blessed beyond measure as God has allowed one difficulty after another to be cleared up and we have gradually been allowed to adapt to our new surroundings. The issues with electrical power, internet connectivity, and non-functioning appliances have been resolved to a limited degree, and we have also been blessed with a new used vehicle with which we are able travel about the country.
As far as the overall work has gone, we have continued to pursue our plan to make occassional trips to area churches and ministers meetings to introduce and build upon the foundation of God’s sovereignty in salvation and the sole sufficiency of the scriptures for both faith and practice. In the meantime, we have continued to work to make friends and establish opportunities for ministry here in Siem Reap as we grow more familiar with the community, the culture, and the language.
We were recently blessed to enjoy a visit from Joseph’s mother and father from Texas which served to lift all of our spirits and encourage us on our way. In the subsequent posts we will attempt to provide some insight into each of the areas of our labor and some of the individuals with whom we have been worshipping and working.
In love,
Joseph and Rachel Weyel
