DUMC was a pretty big church, with services on Saturday and Sunday, each with about 1000 people attending. We were the only new people at the Saturday evening service, and had a taste of what it feels like to be a newcomer when we had to stand up in front of the other 1000 people. The most hilarious thing was then having all the pastors and ushers come up to us to shake our hands. I think I shook hands with about 14 or so people in the space of 10 seconds, they just rushed at us!! Ha ha ha. Alvin was really impressed with the AV side of things, he had to stop himself from dribbling all over the different pieces of very expensive equipment...don't ask me what they were...just had LOADS of buttons on it. He was equally impresed by the sports facilities. There’s a gym, but best of all….6 basketball courts…or at least that was how many he counted and could see!
It was really great to spend time with Pastor Ling and Aunty Helen as well. They showed us videos and photos, and told us many stories of the things going on in Cambodia that really helped to prepare us for what lies ahead.
As I shared earlier, we were hoping that Alvin’s cousin would join us for a service at DUMC. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to make either Saturday or Sunday due to work commitments. We have bought him a couple of books about Christianity and also about what Jehovah Witnesses believe, please continue to pray with us for him as he searches for the truth.
We will be flying to Phnom Penh tomorrow morning and staying there for 5 days before heading up to Baray.
Till the next blog…God bless!
p.s. I've put up a few more photos on facebook if you're interested.
