Last Sunday night was graduation time for the 11 students of the 'Growing Trees' Internship program. This was the first time ever for New Life - and our pastors reckon maybe the first time ever in Cambodia - that students have been gathered for a 10-month course of Bible training (three days a week) and practical ministry work application (the other two days). In addition, they headed out on two outreach weekends - south to Kampot; then north to Siem Reap.
Neth, our weekend cook, and Rim, our two-days-a-week trainee volunteer, were there in the graduation lineup too. Over the last 10 months I've had three blocks of 4-5 sessions with these good youngsters, so it was a special night to celebrate with them.
The graduants (top pic), with Jason Prosser (far right) one of the key men in getting this course flying. Chris Foster is the other key bloke, but he is in Aussie at the moment as his Rhiannon has just had a baby boy. Rim is in the middle with the black long hair and Neth is next to her. The muso's had fun (bottom pic) with the smoke machine blowing Susie out of the second row - she headed backseat to get some clean air!
