Dakota Work and Ministry Team

A week after the Hyde Park team left, we had another team of visitors from South Dakota. Pastor Keith Nash from Mitchell, SD has come to Cambodia many times over the years, but this time he brought Pastor Jim Biswell and Duane of Watertown Wesleyan Church. Here you are seeing Pastor Jim and Duane worshiping in a church in Kampong Cham.

Pastor Jim preached four times that Sunday, at four different churches and cell groups around Kampong Cham. Here you are seeing Pastor Jim and his translator Leak sharing the story of the life of the Apostle Peter, and the lessons that we can learn from his spiritual journey.

That Sunday was full of worship, building relationships, and traveling roads that could be considered impassable. We journeyed for nearly twenty minutes along roads with great numbers of rocks and ruts to arrive at this church. Here you are seeing the house in Toul Sre where a group of Christians meets every Sunday

Along with preaching and teaching, this team also came to work on the New Building Project. We continued to backfill the foundational holes, working for an entire week in order to help the workers and the contractor at the lot, investing our sweat and hard work in the future of the WBI.

It was great to work with these men throughout the week. We spent several weekends at Pastor Biswell’s church while we were in the United States, but it was a special blessing to have him come to Cambodia, to work, laugh, and share together all that God is doing in our lives. Here you are seeing Tim working with the men, dumping one of the many baskets of dirt that we filled throughout the week.

Pastor Keith’s main ministry was teaching a module of classes at the WBI. He taught about the theology of God and Man. His method of teaching by story and by example was a great blessing to our students. Here you are seeing Pastor Keith and Leak teaching at one of the WBI chapels.

Having visitors such as these men was a great joy to us. Here you are seeing Tim and Pastor Keith enjoying a story together during the final night of their stay in Phnom Penh.
