Do you remember the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic? Soon after lockdowns and border closures were enforced, connecting across the globe in real time became a simple and affordable reality for most as almost everyone began to engage in livestreaming in its vast iterations. Face-to-face real time engagement is now a reality that is […]

Harnessing the power and promises of prayer

By Erin Kerber | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia Peninsula, Malaysia Sabah, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Thailand

Prayer is simply, by faith, the articulation of our heart’s response to that which begins in the heart of God. The Trinity are so intimately connected that their thoughts form the continual communion and community that is prayer. Their first recorded internal conversation and prayer (let there be light, let there be life) begins the […]

Sharing food for the soul

By Erin Kerber | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia

Steam rises from slowly roasted peanuts and bodies are cooled from stifling heat with fresh-pressed sugarcane juice and coconut ice cream sundaes. Men and women use the tiers of the chan srak food containers to transport rice, a few dishes and a dessert as an offering to monks on behalf of deceased relatives, under the […]

Please pray for my ministry

By Rev Yin Dara | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia

I grew up in Cambodia in a poor family. My dad and oldest sister passed away and for most of my childhood, my mother raised me and my brothers and sisters on her own. My uncle is a follower of Jesus and gave me a Bible, which I burnt. He would sing Christian songs and […]

A deepening of faith in Cambodia

By Y Franklin Ishida | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia

Cambodia is known as the “Kingdom of Wonder.” Part of this reputation comes from its many juxtapositions: it’s exhilarating and devastating, beautiful and challenging, poor and thriving. Visitors encounter the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, the effects of genocide in the 1970s, the quiet countryside, bustling cities—and the graciousness of the people. Amid this wonder, […]

Growing as a Christian in Cambodia

Phum Krus is a small village in Cambodia, about a two-hour drive from the capital, Phnom Penh. The drive to Phum Krus means leaving the main highway to travel on uneven dirt roads and avoiding puddles made by recent thunderstorms. Village life greets you on arrival with cows chewing their cud near humble homes, the […]

Dear LCA sisters and brothers, Thanks to you for supporting me for the past six years in my mission work for the Lutheran Church in Cambodia (LCC). Next year, it will be my final year journey with them. It has been very difficult for the past two years due to the pandemic. Presently, my role […]

HOSPITALITY FEEDS THE HUNGRY SOUL

By Erin Kerber | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia Peninsula, Malaysia Sabah, Myanmar, Recipes, Singapore, Thailand

As Christian households, we have been uniquely placed by God into our community to offer a welcoming invitation of hospitality, to reach out to those who have no place to go and to let them know there is room at the table for them. God first opened his doors and made room at the table […]

Blessed to follow God’s lead

By Helen Beringen | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Volunteers and Supporters

Be careful of barbecue conversations, because you never know where they might lead! Especially if you are newly retired and have an open mind about where God might be leading you. This was certainly true for retired Openbook Publishers (formerly Lutheran Publishing House) General Manager Warren Schirmer, 73, and his wife Marianne, 69, when they […]
