Dear friends, the last few months have been some of the fullest we can remember — new classes, a graduation, and a few hard goodbyes. Thank you for walking alongside us through all of it.

Two graduates, one proud team

Karona and Srey Ya both crossed the stage this term, finishing degrees they started while still working full shifts at the factory. We closed the center early that day so the whole team could go and cheer.

New evening class for new arrivals

We've started a new beginner's English class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, mostly filled with workers who arrived in Phnom Penh in just the last few months. It's already at capacity, and we're looking at how to open a second one.

"They show up tired from a twelve-hour shift, and they still ask for homework. That tells you everything about why this matters."

Prayer & praise

Praise: two new believers were baptized at New Hope Fellowship this quarter. Prayer: please pray for Pisey's family, who are facing a difficult season back in the province, and for wisdom as we plan next year's catch-up courses.

A request

As we grow the new evening class, our biggest need is simple: workbooks and a second whiteboard. If you'd like to help cover either, the donate link below goes directly to this term's classroom needs.
