We were privileged to be a part of the Wesleyan Pastors and Wives Retreat of 2007. Over fifteen couples attended this two-day seminar in the beautiful town of Kampong Saom, and it was well worth the months of planning and preparation. In the picture above, you are seeing the pastors and the missionaries gathering together for a group picture at the close of the conference.
We were the speakers for the opening meeting, and we focused on sharing some of the lessons about marriage that God has taught us over our six years of married life. Here, you are seeing Tiffany sharing at the beginning of the seminar.
We talked about marriage as a gift, about communication, about treasuring each other and caring for needs. We both felt that it was a great blessing from God to be able to prepare this message and share it as a team to the pastors gathered there in the conference room.
We talked, we laughed, we shared stories, and we had a great time of discussion during the seminar as certain pastors stood up to ask questions about how we handled certain situations in our own marriage. It was humorous to us to see that the Khmer and American marriages share the same struggles such as husbands driving too fast. Here you are seeing Tim and Kimsua, who did a great job as our translator, sharing during the seminar.
After we finished sharing, Tiffany went to work with the children. She and several WBI students worked to share lessons and crafts with the kids, keeping them entertained and happy while their parents enjoyed the conference. When entering the small room shown here in the picture, one could always expect a warm rush of humid air and the sounds of 10-15 children playing and talking together.
It was great to see the pastors and the wives sharing their hearts with one another. Here you are seeing Pastor Nit Banyon listening to his wife read the letter that she had written to him during one of the conference’s activities.
For the final session, the pastors and their wives reaffirmed their vows to one another, promising once again to keep God at the center of their marriages while remaining true to their roles of godly husbands and wives.
