INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT GROWS |
DR. DALE & MELODY DENHAM WRITE FROM CAMBODIA:
Saturday in Phnom Penh we celebrated the graduation of 91 ISOLD
students (International School of Leadership Development) who received
their 2-year diploma. These students were from four different villages
across southern Cambodia and Viet Nam. Twenty-five crossed over the
border from Vietnam (always at great risk) were picked up by bus
transport & brought three hours to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to
participate and receive their diplomas.
Following the
graduation these students rode the bus back to the Vietnam border where
they had to find a place to wait through the night hours so they could
cross the border in the morning. One older lady walked with a shriveled
leg walked with a crutch to receive her diploma, smiling all the way
and then made her way back into Vietnam as a proud ISOLD graduate. It
is very humbling to see their desire for God and for a deeper
understanding of Him.
Tuesday near Battambang, Cambodia we
meet with 36 pastors and 70 public high school teachers and launch a
new ISOLD school. These teachers have about 4000 students. 60
Elementary school teachers have asked if they can join also.
In
Malaysia we set forth three more schools, visited some existing schools
and in Sri Lanka graduated ten more students making more than 100
graduates of ISOLD'S two year discipleship course there. One of our
former graduates, a village chief, has planted three churches already
since his ISOLD training. One young lady from the same graduating class
has three home bible studies and one ISOLD school that she has started
and these are just some of the stories.

 PCL's
Administrative Assistant, Jennifer Tollefson and Teddie Fletcher
of Men and Women of Action, along with a small team of women, are
blessing the children & families of Ethiopia. Emails tell us they
have had a great trip with Bishop Hiruy Tsige, Ethiopian Overseer
facilitating and leading the team.
According to Teddie Fletcher,
"We
visited over 10 Churches/schools and ministered to over 3,000. As of
Thursday we have given out over 3,000 gifts to children and adults. We
even visited a bush church with 500 people. We had to take a donkey
cart, then we walked through marshlike... fields with hundreds of
children following us. What an experience! And what a great team of
ladies! They will do anything to see that the job gets done. During our
last night in devotion we talked about laughter, which is what we have
done a lot on this trip. Laughter is a gift from God.... When you
really laugh with someone you have shared an experience that you will
later recall with fondness. Laughter builds bridges and makes people
feel at home."

PCL DONATES PLAYGROUND TO CLEVELAND GREENWAY |

PCL partnered with the Cleveland, TN Greenway
Committee to purchase and construct a playground on the Greenway
located at the First Tennessee Bank property on Raider Drive. PCL
donated the money and First Tennessee donated the property. Several
local organizations including Men and Women of Action, City of
Cleveland, Ace Hardware, Lee University Rugby Club, and Church of God
World Missions joined PCL staff and a supervisor from "Play Structures"
to erect the playground. Ground covering tiles have yet to laid and
swings put in place before the project is ready for play. A restroom,
