The Kim family, who will be the eventual replacement for Ju-Hwan and Wha-yun, when they leave for sabbatical in October 2010. They have a daughter, Seh-rin (almost 2 years old) and another son coming in 4 weeks. They're a great looking family.
Seh-rin was hard to win over, but she was a cutie and Richard L. and George worked hard to befriend her
To give you a sense of how hard the Khmer language is, there are over 70 consonants and vowels, and the blue and red colors signify group 1 and group 2, which changes the pronunciation of a word, based on what group of vowels or consonants are being combined. Es muy dificil.
We visited the S-21 prison which was a former high school turned prison camp during the Khmer Rouge years. It is now a memorial / museum and a fairly depressing, but insightful place to visit.
The rules which prisoners had to live by in S21.
Several rooms are full of pictures of the prisoners of S21. Most peole who came here did not survive. It was a very dark chapter for this nation and its people.
On Sunday, after we visited the International Worship service, we happened to run into a friend who is working with Hagar International, an organization devoted to social entrepreneurship and redeeming the lives of many Cambodians. Nathan Chan is on the far left. We ate at the restaurant that Hagar runs as one of its ventures, the proceeds supports the ministry and provides employment opportunities for the people they are ministering to.
We visited a Korean missionary who is running a youth center in a village outside of Phnom Penh. We met a lot of high schoolers who were excited to follow Christ.
A picture with Pastor John, Ju-Hwan, Wha-yun, & Jarunee before we left for Phnom Penh. The night before, he challenged us to live by faith and to not hold onto treasures in this world through sharing his testimony.
