After seven months of vacation and class interruption, WBI classes finally resumed on February 5, 2009 at the old facility in Boeng Tumpun. In this picture, you see Maekara Nov, one of the students during batch 2003-2006. Due to serious illness, he quit in the middle of his second year schooling sometime in 2004. But four years latter, few days after class resumed this February, he came to see Pastor Greg expressing his desire to come back and finish his schooling. Being touched with his willingness to serve God, we warmly welcome him back him to finish his studies. Please pray that his passion to serve God will not die but rather burning for Christ.
On Ferbruary 24, Aleeyah Charis celebrated her fourth birthday. She had a simple birthday party with all her friends, students and pastors living in the Campus. To our family and friends who would like to see Aleeyah and Esher growing, visit http://www.aleeyahandesherscorner.blogspot.com/
Although the new WBI facility was not finished, we started moving our stuff to the new campus on February 28. Classes are cancelled for a week to complete the hauling of stuffs and prepare for the new facility. Moving to the new property was not heavenly as many expected. We had some challenges to face since the building was not totally ready for occupancy, and we are far from the city. Also, the electrical power is out 4 to 6 hours daily. Most of the time, power is out twice a day. When the electricity power is out, no sufficient water to use.
In March 27, Pastor Greg and Adam Nash brought the students to Vietnam airport to ensure their safety and destination. Instead of flying from Phnom Penh, they flew from Ho Chi Minh to Manila for a lower cost. Our 7 students, along with pastor Kimsan, nekru Channy and Lookru Rotha are now in the Philippines for almost three weeks. They will all fly back to Ho Chi Minh on April 18 and arrive in Phnom Penh on April 19. We'll give you an update of this visit when they return.

Thank you for all your prayers, love, and support. We accomplish nothing without God's power claimed by your prayers.
In His service,
Greg, Resie, Aleeyah and Esher
