Enfield Uniting Church is ‘home’ to a large, loving group of children – who are learning fast and growing into a Christian community for the future. Currently, the group includes children and teenagers (aged 0 – 16+) from Sudanese, Australian, Greek and Fijian backgrounds. They participate in a range of activities –e.g. regular classes with stories, craft, discussion, computer access, singing, games of soccer and morning tea. KUCA Campout, barbeques, other outings and occasionally, a family camp, are also part of the EKOS program.

We meet from 9.30 am – 11.15 am every Sunday during school terms. Most families travel by bus (Northern Minibuses) provided by the EUC community.

Mission

Serving the Poor Foundation Organization – 2010 update

Enfield Uniting Church continues to support the ‘Serving the Poor Foundation Organization’ which works among some of ‘the poorest of the poor’ communities in Cambodia.

The founder and director of SPFO is Mrs Chheng Sophoap (Poppy), a member at Enfield Uniting Church. Poppy spends up to six months of each year in Cambodia, reviewing on-going programs, supporting and training members of the Organization and initiating new ventures.

Poppy has described SPFO’s priorities this year as:

the Mobile Medical Clinic:

the team of volunteer doctors, support staff and drivers continue regular visits to a number of remote villages. Enfield Uniting Church sends regular payments so that Poppy and her team can purchase medicines in Phnom Penh then dispense them – often treating 200-300 people each visit.

building Christian communities:

the SPFO team assists small churches in villages where the Clinic visits. At the Lord’s Garden in Kompot province, a House Church is developing, with four new leaders and a ministry among children. One of these leaders, Mr Sowath Heng, is planning to return to Australia with Poppy in October 2010 for a period of training in church leadership.

educational support for children:

donors associated with EUC are supporting four children with uniforms, fees and equipment for school. Some have raised money through concerts, others make regular gifts.

community development:

• the Cow Bank (with new calves being born)

• the Rice Bank - now at the heart of a self-sustaining community

• the fruit trees and crops at the Lord’s Garden continue to mature

• plans for relocating a slum-based riverside community continue to develop

• HIV-AIDS clinics continue

• educating communities about physical and mental health – an important part of the Mobile Clinic’s visits
