Nec Tha Scrock

This past Lord’s Day we worshipped on the ship like we always do. We sang and prayed and read Scripture and ate the Lord’s Supper together. Channy, the ship’s first mate, taught us a lesson on the plan of salvation. He spoke in Khmer but told us “foreigners” the text he was using so we could follow somewhat. People were worshipping 100 feet from us in a very different way.
The picture above is of “Nec Tha Scrock”. He was located in a small building just up the river bank from our ship. The people pray to him for sickness, successful business, and protection. They offer small plant offerings with incense as in the picture. I understand they also offer animal sacrifices to him as well at different times. What seems so paganistic to me is just a normal part of everyday life to the local people. Someday I hope to come back and tell them about Jehovah God and His great power! Rick
