This year at our home church in Pniet, a section of Stung Meanchey, we had a Christmas service outreach.In Cambodia ,the churches have outreaches all through the month of December. We had over 150 (about 50 were kids) come to check us out. Maybe 15 were church members and Christians. The rest  come because it very interesting for  them  to see what we are doing ,  but mainly  they come to get free food.

We had Christmas music ,kids special songs, an evangelistic sermon and showed an  Cambodian outreach video, while we feed them with  Khmer noodles with fish.

Overall it was quite interesting.
