In the villages of Mondulkiri, Cambodia, little by little, with admirable simplicity, many Pnong families — the minority group we work with (not the Khmer majority living in the cities) — are receiving Jesus, allowing the Almighty to grow in their lives.

In addition to the spiritual activities carried out every day in our school, the staff recently presented two beautiful programs that furthered the gospel, reaching the entire school community. The first was the week of prayer, carried out entirely by the institution’s teachers. The second was the Christmas program, when we reached at least 300 people. All the students’ parents were invited to attend this beautiful event, where each class presented a Christmas song. Parents had the opportunity to learn about the Savior’s coming into this world to save us from our sins.

Looking back on 2022, we see God’s hand every step of the way. Eighteen people decided to give their lives to Jesus, four new Bible study groups began, and at least nine more people are now determined to be baptized. We have begun discipleship training and have identified many local brothers and sisters willing to volunteer their time as an offering to God to bring other souls to His feet. Glory to God for His great blessings this year.

For the first time, the Pnong people of our village performed the baptismal program themselves in their language and way. We recorded it. You may watch “Baptismal Program, December 17” on our YouTube channel, “Cris & Sol,” or at https://youtu.be/ LNnqUdZ_AF4.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed being there.

We cannot wait to see the wonderful works He has in store for 2023.
