300 Christian Ladies Meet in Cambodia

300 ladies from numerous congregations in Central Cambodia met together for a full day of fellowship, Bible lessons and a great time on March 8, the "International Day of Women" which is a national holiday.

Planned by Marie-Claire McDonough, missionary speakers Rhonda Doland and Rosemary Burcham articulated the theme of "Being Strong and Courageous in a Hostile World" which these women can definitely relate to. Trying to raise a family in a Macho society on less then $1 per day with pagan neighbors who ridicule you daily, calls on one to be strong and courageous if you are to survive.

They came by Truck load, bicycle and Ox Cart to share in the fellowship and each one of them went home with a song on their lips, joy in their hearts and a beautiful T-shirt to remember the day.

Four years ago there were fewer then 20 Christian ladies and now more then 300 can meet for a special day because you cared enough to send the Love of God to them.
