9th Revival Camp (2016), 제 9회 캄보디아 영성 부흥 성회

It is my pleasure to write up the 9th Revival Camp at KBS in November 13-16, 2016.

After organizing Cambodian leaders' Camp at Pusat KM Hotel in September 27-29, 2016 which gathered 190 Cambodian leaders and teachers (40 from KBS graduates) and 35 Korean missionaries and 21 mission members from Korea, I wanted to replace annual KBS Revival Camp with this Pusat Meeting. So I announced that there would be no Revival camp at KBS in 2016. But in the last day of the Pusat Meeting, some pastors approached to us and said that they should have Revival Camp at KBS as before because their congregation are waiting the Camp eagerly.

After hearing their protest, I prayed and reminded to myself that if it is God's willing, I should obey their voices even there is no fund for it. After coming back to Kompongsom I sent emails which are requesting fund to several churches. and received some favorable response from some churches. So I announced that we will have 9th Revival Camp will be held at KBS for three days in November. I expected the campers up to 600 people to attend at maximum. So I went to Korea and visited some churches.

After coming back to Cambodia, i prepared the Camp. Local churches hoped to match football during the Camp, so I extended one more day, so it became four-day's Camp.

Few days before the Camp, many churches added numbers of campers, and when they arrived all, it turned up 800, so we increased the amount of food quickly.

On second day, 10 local churches (some churches were combined into one team) had tournament. KBS was expected to go final, but they could not go even semi-final. I estimated KCS would be least in the match because they were very young age of Secondary and High school boys. But it was surprise that KCS got winner in the final.

Unexpectedly, some visitors joined the Camp from Korea, some pastors, deacon, pastor's wife and son who stayed Cambodia for three years with us. It was happy moment. They also helped to prepare one Korean meal for the Campers for one dinner. It was pork mixed with various ingredients, Doe Jee Joo Mul Reok. We bought 130 kg of pork meat, some cut the meat, some pounded garlic, add ingredients. Grace Hahn and Korean team dedicated their strength for that special food. And 800 people enjoyed it on 15th .

Seven guest preachers, one KBS graduate, and teacher Reli delivered messages at 10 sessions. They preached regarding prayer, heaven and hell, dedication and sacrifice, and what is Christian life. We had nine intercessory prayer groups, each group with 7 members for four hours. So it continued for 36 hours day and night. They prayed for the Camp, for the country, and for their family members and so on. We had baptism and Lord's Supper. 54 members were baptized.

The weather was good, a little bit rain, and good temperature, the sleeping place was spacious because we had roof on second floor of Block C, the Camp site. It was full moon during the Camp. We had camp fire two times, singing and praying. Even the fund was short, all went good and enjoyed. Some churches came one day earlier, some went back one day later. So they visited beaches and Bokor mountain nearby Kompongsom.

Thanks again for your prayer and support.
