Tim, Bruce, Carolyn and Carol comprised the latest team visiting Cambodia. This was a powerful time, with ministry to the villages resulting in several people being saved and many healings. God is so faithful.

One of the highlights of any visit to Cambodia is the love and warmth of the team from Breakthrough Centre Cambodia. Those smiling faces at the airport radiate joy and this time was no exception. It is such a joy to fellowship with the team at meal times, and to serve with them in ministry.

The Australian team first spent some time ministering to and training the team from BCC. They are always so hungry and eager to learn. It was good to share a meal with the leaders as well.

On the third day the team were up early for the long journey to Svay Rieng (3 hours). This was their base for three different village visits. About half way they had to cross the river by ferry. They had hired a four wheel drive for the journey. With five crammed into the cabin, and luggage and team members on the back, it was very much travelling in Cambodia style! They decided to get a taxi as well to help relieve the load.

Village 1:

To enter this village the last part of the journey was by ‘moto’ through rice paddy’s….hahahah oh what fun negotiating this narrow little path through rice fields. The bike Carolyn was on slightly tipped over at one point ditching some of the load into the water. Fortunately I managed to stay dry but myself and the rider laughed all the way from that point on as we entered into the village. I think it was Carole’s first ride on a ‘moto’…brave woman of God! The village people greeted us warmly. Tim ministered here on dreams and interpretation whilst Carolyn and Carole joined Dany with the children. They then gave out clothes and footwear and supplies to the village people. There were heavy showers of rain before we returned to base…so the ‘moto’ track was even more muddy and interesting…but we made it back to base with no major incidents!

It was a delight to arrive back in Svay Rieng to the guest house. The rooms were basic, spacious and clean and cold showers…but who can complain. After dinner in town with the team it was great to find a comfortable bed for much needed rest.
