As our ministry tour began to unfold beyond the early planning stages, it became evident there were forces of opposition at work behind the scenes.

It was such a blessing to see the Christians here in Cambodia have such a deep faith and enthusiasm to serve the Lord! Their worship in song and prayer was very touching!We appreciated the wonderful help of our interpreters and taxi driver.

It has been very humbling to hear the testimony of this Nepale pastor that since MTM began teaching this series there, have been a total of 11 new indigenous churches planted among these remote M_______m villages of Nepal.
