Bin Cheow Fellowship

This past Saturday, we scheduled a fellowship at our house. The fellowship, as are many in the Khmer culture, centered around a special kind of food. The food that we prepared that day is a special dish that they call Bin Cheow, a crepe-like dish filled with pork and bean sprouts. Here you see two of Pastor Kimsan’s daughters, Chamreoun and Channa, preparing the braziers and the charcoal.


The fellowship was planned by Tiffany. She and her language teacher, Bpou, pictured above, had planned this day for several weeks. You might remember Bpou’s story from our previous prayer letter, which can be accessed on the main blog page. She has been Tiffany’s language instructor for over 18 months, and has repeatedly asked questions about believing in Jesus and has attended church with us several times.


Here you see Pastor Malout cooking the Bin Cheow. As stated before, the food resembles a crepe, however it is made with rice flour and filled with pork and vegetables. You then eat it wrapped in a lettuce leaf and fresh herbs and dipped in a special sauce.
