Broken Arrow Church of Christ

Cambodia...The Cambodia Bible Institute is a work of the Sunset Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas.  Rich and Ronda Dolan have served the Cambodia Bible Institute since 2007.  Rich serves as the Dean of the school.  Rich’s work involves teaching and training, lining up visiting teachers from the States, setting the schedule and curriculum, recruiting students and working with the local churches.  He also tries to set up vocational training for the students so they can be self-supporting, if needed.

Currently there are 21 full-time students and three part-time students studyhing at CBI.  Five of these students graduated October 2011 which will allow for enrollment of five students who were on a waiting list.

Diue to laws in Cambodia forbidding door-to-door campaigns, there are scheduled Evangelism Weeks which give the students the opportunity to return to their home villages and preach the gospel.  As another tool for outreach, Rich has arranged for the translation of Bible commentaries wich study guides.  The first project completed was a commentary of Romans titled "Paid in Full" by Richard Rodgers.  "Paid in Full" is given to all graduates, other church leaders and sold in the Bible bookstore in Phnom Penh.  Recently a denominational man from the Phnom Penh Bible School requested a copy of the book in English from which he plans to teach a class and assign the students to read.  A second book, in the process of translation, is "The Life of Christ."  Once completed, 2000 books and 1,000 study guides will be completed. 

Rich and Ronda attend and work with two congregations.  “Usually I preach and teach class 3 or 4 times a month at the Phnom Penh congregation.  Most Sundays I teach Bible class at the University congregation where I am also helping lead and train men.”
