| Roundtable Discussion Group |
Kiew wasn't sure what to expect when he was invited by a pastor friend to share his experience and wisdom at our recent church planting leadership roundtable in Takeo Province. Kiew is 70 years old and had been asked by his denomination to retire from pastoring a few years ago.

| Church Planters Writing Their Church Planting Plan |
During the roundtable Kiew was inspired by the 34 leaders from 6 different denominations as they passionately discussed church planting in their province. On his way home he stopped in a village for lunch and ran into an old friend. The friend asked what he had been doing that morning. Kiew began to share with him about church planting and sharing Jesus in villages with no church.
During lunch the friend explained to Kiew that there was no church or Christian witness in the village where they were having lunch. The friend asked if Kiew would consider coming to the village and sharing with people about Jesus in his home. Kiew recognized the calling of God's voice at that moment and decided to heed God's call and begin a weekly bible study in this new village with the goal of planting a church. He was surprised, but excited that God was calling him and giving him the opportunity to start a new work and plant a church! He has begun meeting weekly with those who are hungry to know God! Please pray for Kiew and for our work with equipping and inspiring church planting in the nation of Cambodia! Also, remember that God doesn't put age limits on who is called to share the Gospel and plant churches, it's usually us who limit ourselves!
