Koh Kong
Clyde Lacquement has been looking forward to Saturday morning for a long time now. Gail was excited about Saturday also but for a different reason…her children were coming for a visit and she was anxious to see them! More about the kid’s visit later but Clyde had Kingdom expansion on his mind!
Clyde has an English-Bible student named Piseth. This young man is eager to know the truths of God’s word and had invited Clyde to visit his family at Kohkong. Piseth’s Father is the Pastor of the church at Kohkong. Clyde was hoping that he might help the church at Kohkong.
Clyde has been a Gospel preacher for over 50 years. He made a living as public school teachers but has preached at small churches of fifty people or less for most of his adult life in his home state of Idaho. Clyde knows God’s word!
We drove for almost an hour and a half before reaching our destination. We first stopped at the small church building and learned that around one hundred people meet there each Lord’s Day. We then went on to visit Piseth’s family at their home. We were greeted warmly and were served wonderful fruit, all grown on his families land. We were each given a coconut with the top chopped off and a drinking straw put in it for a refreshing drink. After refreshments we learned about the history of the church at Kohkong. Piseth’s Father had learned the truth from his mother who immigrated to America in the 70’s. She had told him about the “One True God” and he asked her which one was the true one as he had many gods. She mailed him an audio tape about the gospel message of Jesus Christ and he believed.
Although they have met as a church family since the early 90’s and although they have planted eight other surrounding churches, their knowledge of the Bible seemed to be minimal. We were asked to provide teachers that they might understand the more difficult areas of God’s word. We invited them to come to our regular seminars and even offered to help them with health care from the boat when it arrives. God continues to open doors to each of us to help expand His Kingdom. Clyde had been excited about Saturday for a good reason!
