Memorial for Sokha

Today we went to a memorial service honoring the memory of Sokha. She was an incredible young lady in her late twenties when her life was cut short by an automobile accident last Tuesday.
Sokha had two beautiful children of her own but that is very common here. What made her special was the 21 additional children she took care of along with her husband Kimsom. They manage a Christian orphanage here and basically raise the children. None of the children will ever be adopted so it is like a big family. She teaches these 23 children along with about 50 others every week the stories of Jesus and lives out the stories for them every day.
Several hundred people attended her memorial service. She was compared to Tabitha in the New Testament by one of the speakers. Many tears were shed remembering her acts of kindness to children and people of all ages. Sokha was a wonderful Christian lady who will be missed greatly by all who knew her. Please join us in prayer for her husband Kimsom and the children she has left behind.
