Tawn Lork, Cambodian minister and educator, died Dec. 26 from wounds he suffered when a drunk driver struck his motorcycle days earlier.

Lork, 33, was dean of students for Cambodia Bible Institute, a ministry training school in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, affiliated with Lubbock, Texas-based Sunset International Bible Institute.

“He was a devout Bible student as well as effective preacher and teacher,” said Rich Dolan, the Cambodia institute’s director. “God blessed him with a great personality, capable of reaching many with his kind words, smile, encouragement and belief in God.”


Lork served as translator for Dolan and his wife, Ronda, who moved to Phnom Penh in 2007.

Lork also worked with Bill Singleton, a church member who helps Cambodian Christians in church-planting efforts.

“He is one of the greatest Cambodian warriors of the faith,” Singleton said of Lork, “and I will always love him for that.”

After the wreck, Lork underwent surgery in Phnom Penh but showed no signs of improvement. The Dolans were making plans to transport him to a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, when “his heart gave out,” Rich Dolan said.

“I know that he walks with the King,” Rich Dolan said. “But please remember all of us who are left here with broken hearts — especially his sweet wife, Navy, and all our students.”

If you are so good why do you and your families murder cambodians? Why? and Why?

If you are so good why do about 90%cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionair and millinor? Why? Why?

Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?

What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?

If you are so good why more than 6 millions vietnameses are living permantly in cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? and Why

Every where, I walk in Cambodia I see vietnamese speak vietnamese every where, why? why?

Don't you and your families scare of hell for ethernity?

Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his belove Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!

Khmers victim of 1997 and K5

PS

If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.

Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent. The country is getting smaller and shamer by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet.

Try to help God will bless but try to take advantage on poor and try to convert the people is a sin. He/she may convert people so God punish him/her by death.

1:13PM you don't understand how God work through people. Don't curse him like that. He was killed by an accident. No body can avoid death even you. You should look at his work when he was alive he tried to help so many people no matter what way he does. Ask yourself have you done someting to help needy people yet? Be honest..

Most of Christian are alway give first and take after, this religion are alway give and then cconvert people to their religion, they practicing around the world, their religion said that if one person convert another person then God preserve place in heaven for them. Christian are alway have conflicted with Islam, for Buddhist they take advantage of our compasion relegion. I was Christian I Know I have to pay 15% of my salary to my church but enough is enough I now take my 15% of my salary and direct donate to the poor and misfortune around the world. Now I am no religion but I consider Buddhism.

Most preachers did not understand Jesus teaching. Most of them preach the wrong things in the West until today. There is a tithing but it's not an obligation unless you jointed the Mormons church. Most overseas missionaries will help you only with conditions that you join the Church or unless you are currently a member of the Church or Organization, in order for them to give you help you in the form of Aid or donations etc... but in reality, Jesus never taught this way at all. Big misunderstanding it is supposed to be without attachment and people's will, whethe they want to join the Church or not. So don't blame on Jesus but instead you should blame on the individual or the organization.

There were nine good persons in the world:
Buddha,Muhammad,Daila
Lama,Jesus Christ,Moses,Mother Teresa,Abraham Lincoln,Martin Luther King,and Mohatma Gandhi.
The three founders religions:
Buddha,Muhammad,and Jesus Christ have had the most believers in the world.They were human beings.
The Buddha was the oldest founder amongst three who have had 700,000,000 believers.
The Muhammad have had almost 2 billion people,and the Jesus Christ have had 2 and half billion people in the world.
If three founders were not good,people will not believe in them.
How can missionaries make people believing in them? Poor and ignorant.
But science without religion is lame;
the religion without science is blind.
The religion founders were so good,but some people used religions as their businesses.And other political leaders used religions as their shields Hun Sen and other communist countries to calm down their own citizens because without religions,the govt are hard to control their own people.
So,religions are good,but people are evil ones by using religions as tools to make their own benefits.
