Pastor Ng - always happy

Before my trip, I was concerned about the local condition, so I asked Raymond Chan for some advice. He immediately urged me to contact Pastor Ng there because he was worried about me traveling alone there. That's how I got hooked up with Pastor Ng. (Pastor Ng actually is Drew Gor's uncle)

When I looked at the picture he sent me in the email before I met him, he looked like a very serious man. But after the first hour we met, I started to realize he actually is a lay back person, very kind, and like to laugh. He always wanted to help me. He has actually called couple times when I was traveling with Hisar, to see if we were OK! He laughed so hard when we told him we took Hisar's little car up to Bokor Hill where the roads are usually only driven by 4X4! It was kind of awkward though when he called us while we were at the massage :p

Currently he's ministering at a church there. When I went to the church, I thought I was in the children worship. But in fact in Cambodia, the majority of Christians are younger ones. It was interesting to hear them sing Khmer version of "在耶穌裡我們是好朋友", and hear Pastor Ng spoke in Khmer in his sermon! Their praise & worship was really long, and music was really loud! Their main instruments were the synthesizer and the electric drum, plugged into big speakers in a small room. Well, Cambodian always like it loud, as I found out later. At the end of the service, there was a sharing time, and it was very touching to see people came out to share without hesitation! Even though most of the sharings weren't really big thing. It was more like a chicken got lost and God helped get it back.
