Toule Dam Na Church Orphan Home

A picture-less event was not supposed to be that way. In fact the pastor tried to take three pictures with his perfectly functional camera, none turned out. It worked fine before and after the event. So, what happened?

Some of you, who have been following the work in Cambodia for years may recall what I refer to as the most “Astounding miracle of all,” the “Fire that fell in Toule Dam Na.”

Since I don’t want to bore you with repetition, I’ll summarize: A group of crooked pastors (taking kickbacks) got zapped at about 8:00pm, Friday, Jan. 17, 2000, with a rainbow colored cone of fire that lasted for about five minutes in front of a town of about 500 people. It brought repentance and revival. For a full account, click here.

Now, fast forward to May 20, 2011, one of the original members, who witnessed the event, is now the Senior Pastor. The kids were finishing up their Friday night prayer (A tradition that began when the first fire fell) and the last prayer topic was that God would show the people of Toule Dam Na that he is the God of truth, hope, and love.

Remember that the next day, May 21, 2011, had been hyped all over Cambodia, and the world, by a waco from the US, as the end of the world. The kids walked out of their building at about 8:00pm. Immediately a pair of two year old twins began pointing at the roof and crying out, “Look!” There was a ring of fire encircling the cross. The pastor ran to get his camera, he tried to get the pictures three times and it would not work. However, most of the town saw it.
