Many of you have heard or "read" that we are planning to head back to Cambodia this Christmas, so exciting!! Here are some details...
- The main purpose of our trip is to encourage the missionaries who are there and continue to build relationships with those at Children of Hope Orphanage and Water of Life
- As part of our outreach we want to bless all the kids in Children of Hope Orphanage with a personal gift and we'll be matching kids up with those who desire to serve in this way
- We may be involved in several other aspects of the ministry.... medical outreach, outreach to the jungle, teaching English...whatever the Lord brings our way
- Jacqueline and I are committed to going and we are praying if the Lord would have anyone else join us
- The dates for the trip are December 16th-31st, giving us about 10 days on the ground
How can you be a part of this? - Pray! Really, prayer is our number one need...pray that God will strengthen us in His Spirit and we will be wholly surrendered to Him, Pray for our families as they let us go at Christmas, for good health, for provision in every sense, for God's leading at every step, pray according to Colossians 1:9-12 (see below)
- Adopt an orphan for Christmas! We'd love to connect the ministry in Cambodia with those stateside who may have a heart for the children but are unable to go themselves
Things that I am really excited for...
- Katherine is one of my best friends and is a long term missionary in Cambodia, she lives at the orphanage and has a Cambodian son, our hearts are knit in the Lord and I can't wait to be with her again and hopefully bless her as she blesses countless others
- Jason, just moved to Cambodia and is working in similar ministries and we are excited to see our brother and bring encouragement to him as he hits the 4 month mark of serving there
- The kids... I fell in love! I can't wait to go back and spend time with the kids, especially Srey oun one of the girls who stole my heart... I have been praying to get back to her!
- Watching Jacqueline love and serve the people...she is such an amazing young woman of God, who challenges my heart and my faith... I love watching God work in and through her and feel so privileged to be a part of it.
- The things I don't know about that God will do..."a man's heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps" Proverbs 16:9
"For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience with longsuffering and joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light." Colossians 1:9-12
