A village called Balaing Khang Lech Village, in Damrey Chuon Kla commune, Steung Sen district, Kampong Thom province, has a poor family of a widow with three orphaned children. The widowed mother tried her hardest to feed herself with her children, with the hard rice-field working planting.

She never complains that she is feeling wet or winndy or hot or cold, so her life and her children's lives like a boat floating in the ocean without rows.

Because the orphaned boy without a father who's 15-year-old has just learned in 5th grade, depression, loss of hope in life either mentally damaged, and his mother is older, and the needy of class, tries to earn subsistence was not enough, so the orphan brother was not sufficient cause to become a disobedient boy to his old mother, because he was discouraged to learn anymore; breathing out with companions, and did not come back to his home, and escaped away from school. Moreover, unwholesome friendships often bring destruction upon himself as the Bible says: “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”” (1Corinthians 15:33). Shortly after those friends persuaded him (Chet Piseth) to associate with the addicted drug with them.

This story has been heard to his older brother of Cheth Piseth, who is a Christian youth that is diligent in studying the Word of God regularly, and this young man is a second year university student. The young man searched for his young brother everywhere and finally found him, and the youth man brought his young brother back home. When he brought his young brother come back home, he tried to instruct by taking the Word of the Bible to advise his young brother. With the power of the Word, and the help from the Holy Spirit through the prayers of the youth man, the older brother of Cheth Piseth,  had made his younger brother is taking close attention and submitting to his older brother to break off the drug addiction. As stated in the Scripture of Proverbs 19:20, “Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.” By the power of the love of God, preached from the heart of his older brother, flowing into the heart of Cheth Piseth, it was deeply rooted, it was making him to be awakened himself up, and realizing that he had sinned against the Lord and his mother and his brothers and sisters. The seed of the Word of God is growing rooted into the heart of Cheth Piseth being stronger from day to day by working from his older brother who brought the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of the heavenly Father, who had sent His only Son came to earth, born as a man, He who accepted the suffering and death on the cross for us, and three days later God raised Him from the dead and ascended into heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father,  then He sent the Holy Spirit to come to be the Helper for our faith. Cheth Piseth said to himself that because just now, I understand the power of love, love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. Because of the seed of the Word of God on the above had made Cheth Piseth to be transformed, accepted, and followed Jesus Christ, accepting Him as the Savior and the Lord for his life. And every Sunday, Cheth Piseth went with his older brother to worship God at the church, which is located in the neighboring village.
