Spotlight Corner

Peter Sok grew up during the rise of the Khmer Rouge. He had masked his looks of wealth and education by removing his glasses so that he would not be slaughtered. Instead, he was forced into a life of manual labor by his captors by working the rice fields doing heavy work. On a late afternoon in 1976, a year later, Sok and his friends ran for their lives to make it across the Thailand border. He was one of few to survive. The four of them made it through dense jungle and past the Thailand border. While going through "processing" in Thailand. Sok received a bible in his native tongue, Khmer. His life as a Christian prospered and he was brought to the states by Lutheran sponsors in 1976 and now serves our ministry here at Trinity Lutheran Church as Lay Minister for the Cambodian congregation. Christ has blessed his life and he brought this blessings in various ways to Cambodia which led to the building and creation of the Cambodian Trinity Lutheran Church Battambang. Children attend school here and the congregation is growing. Sok continually praises God for the good works he brings and says, "This is my dream come true. There's no more Khmer Rouge, no more communist and I can go any place. I can share the Good News in the hotel, I can share the Good News in the restaurants, I can share the Good News in the food stand, in the schools. No fear at all. It is different. 

Our Wonderful Organist Dr. Karen Philippi
She is a full-time doctor and makes time to practice wonderful hymns to play every Sunday. She meets once a week with the church choir to perform a song to go along with Sundays in which we take in the body and blood of our lord Jesus Christ. She is looking for new recruits! Even if you have no background in singing with a choir, she would love to help and have new people join our small but mighty voices that make up the choir!
