Dear Friends,
Late last year, we had the opportunity to spend some time in some of our project communities in northern Cambodia. It's always such a pleasure to travel with the team to see what is happening in these villages. One of the most exciting visits was to see a new church plant and to spend some time with these believers. It was a great time of sharing, fellowship, and food. Seeing what God is doing in these remote communities is truly a privilege.

As I was leaving the church that day, I looked over at the home beside the church. There was this adorable girl sitting by herself on the steps. I felt compelled to go over and chat with her. I learned that her name is Sreng Siengheng. She is 11 years old and is in grade 4. She accepted Jesus in 2022 and is the only believer in her family. Sreng loves going to church and singing. She told me that, one day, she would like to learn guitar and help lead worship.
As I listened to her, I felt a little nudge that we were supposed to get Sreng that guitar. After making the arrangements, we left the community and trusted our team to see that this young lady got that guitar.

Sometimes, seemingly small things turn out to be very big things in God's economy. He accomplishes the things that we can't—in people's hearts and lives, and in these communities. This is the way the Kingdom of God grows. I am thrilled that this guitar has made it into Sreng's hands.
Thank you so much for partnering with us. It is a privilege to be a part of what God is doing all over His great world.
Blessings,

Ready to start strumming now without any prior experience or a physical instrument? Online virtual guitars make it possible! These tools often provide a user-friendly interface where you can select chords and "strum" them with your mouse or keyboard, or play individual notes. It's a fun and interactive way to get a feel for how guitar music is made, learn basic chord shapes, and even try playing along to simple tunes.
