The end of the school year.


Well it is coming to the end of the school year here at HOPE School Cambodia - 3 more weeks.  The above photo is of the whole school, students and staff. We have students from 22 different countries and staff from 8 different countries.

Hope is a wonderful, Godly school and it is a blessing to work here. There is a strong sense of community and purpose within the school and wider environment. We have made many good friends. We have learned to appreciate the simple things in life and accept the challenges of intermittent electricity, fluctuating internet, limited resources and flooded rooms. These shared experiences allow us to pull together in support of each other. It is the ïn your face" nature of life and faith here that has been the catalyst for personal and spiritual growth. 

I cannot imagine not have having come here and would encourage others to consider overseas mission. It is not so much ability but availability that God works with to bring ordinary everyday Christian people into a phase of growth and service.

Please pray for our school as we continue to look for teaching staff in the future, the cycle of people coming on contract and going home, along with the growth of the school requires that we are regularly in prayer for new staff.
