Killing Fields Movie Night

The Killing Fields is an Academy Award winning film starring Sam Waterston, Haing Ngor and John Malkovich (with a cameo role by Australia’s Graham Kennedy). It tells the true story of two journalists reporting on the civil war in Cambodia in the 1970’s who are caught up in the harrowing events surrounding the reign of the Khmer Rouge.

We’re holding a special screening of this movie to help raise support for our missionary work in Cambodia. We’ll give a short presentation during the night about our hopes for bringing the light of the gospel to the people of Cambodia. The details are as follows;

7pm Saturday 28th March
St Thomas’ Anglican Church Hall 
McLaren Street, North Sydney

Cost $25 per person
(includes supper)

Please note that the movie is rated ‘M’ and has coarse language, violence and some gory scenes so it is not suitable for children under 15. For the movie preview please click here. Please invite your Christian friends along. To purchase your tickets please click here. All profits go towards the Blairs mission work in Cambodia.

When we visited Cambodia on 2013, we went to one of the infamous killing fields just outside of Phnom Penh. You can read about our visit here.

Transition Training

We have just returned from a 10 day training course in Melbourne with Missions Interlink. The aim of the course was to prepare us to transition well into the Cambodian culture that we hope to enter in the near future. The first rule of transition training is not to tell anyone what happens at transition training. So we can’t tell you what happened there except to say that we learnt a lot about ourselves and the challenges ahead of us doing missionary work in Cambodia. We meet some great people and had lots of fun there too!

We are finally online

IMG_8575After years of looking at other peoples sites I have finally got around to getting us our own. What precipitated this very belated move? Our impending trip to Cambodia. For a number of months now we have been planning to do a short term assignment in Cambodia with the Church Missionary Society (CMS). I thought what better way to remember and share our experiences than through our very own website. So let the adventure begin.
