The dining "room"
Breakfast dishes
Cooking the food
This was quite a production, and a major effort by the PATC students and the church members to reach out to the community. They hoped to share the glorious Christmas story and the gospel with many who would come for this special event.
The woman second from the right is Sophorn's mother. She had come from Sre Treng and spent the night with the Nuon's the night before. It was special to have her here!
The meeting room of the church looked very nice and clean with special chair covers, foliage by the windows, and lights decorating the stage.
The people were so happy to see Jennifer with little Isaac. She received a warm welcome from everyone, and it was a blessing to see the way they love her.
Some of the adults from the church sang a special song for everyone.
This picture didn't turn out well, but you can see the PATC young women dancing. The PATC students performed several different dances and then acted out the Christmas story. They did a superb job, and you could tell that they practiced hard! When we first planned our trip, we thought we would be helping the students put on this production. But as it turned out, they had so much good experience from the year before that they said they could do it by themselves. And they were right!
They served lunch to everyone, and it was a massive amount of food! We were amazed at the way they prepared it! Here they are preparing a chicken stew dish. Look at the size of the ladle!

The Christmas Program was a great success as far as how it all went. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it. We pray that it was truly a success in that people heard and understood the gospel and that their hearts responded in faith and love for our great God.
