SEPTEMBER 1 and
2, 2005 were milestones in the annals of The Methodist Mission
in Cambodia.
On those two days, it held its
historic Second Annual Meeting at Toul Kork Methodist Church in
the compound of The Methodist Centre in the Cambodian capital
of Phnom Penh. Three Cambodian pastors were ordained as the country's
first set of elders on the second day of the meeting.
Also on Sept 1, there was a Dedication
Service for Emmaus Women's Centre in Beung Anchagn Village, outside
Phnom Penh. About 350 people, including guests from Malaysia,
Hong Kong, the United States and Singapore, attended the service.
Bishop Dr Robert Solomon delivered the sermon entitled "The
Emmaus Experience" based on the Scripture text from Luke
24:13-34.
Following the service, Mr Ith
Sam Heng, the Cambodian Minister of Social Affairs, Veteran and
Youth Rehabilitation, officially opened the centre. Bags of rice
and goody bags containing biscuits, chocolates and sweets were
then given to the villagers and school children in Beung Anchagn.
They were gifts from the Methodist Missions Society.
