Update from Cambodia Director, Theara Sath
Last month, Rapha held their mid-year management meeting in Battambang. Leaders from all three locations — Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Battambang — came together as one. In the span of three days, Rapha’s team was able to discuss the accomplishments and challenges that they encountered this year and their plans for the rest of the year, with the goal to create ways to provide better service to their clients, staff, and community.
It was a time of reflection and encouragement for the team and leaders who have dedicated time and energy into this work. Rapha is grateful for each member of the Cambodian leadership team who shared their thoughts and evaluated how they can continue to serve each of their clients better.
They discussed 1 Corinthians 12 and the importance of unity within the body of Christ, as well as within the Rapha team. They were inspired and encouraged to work together more diligently with one goal and one mind, despite all of their members serving in different locations and having different responsibilities. We are one body in Christ!
Thank you for being a constant form of encouragement and pouring out the love of Christ for Rapha’s team in Cambodia. They are so grateful.
