Week 3

Hey guys!! We have made it 3 weeks now in Cambodia. We arrived in the capital city of Phnom Pehn and drove down to where we are now, Battambang. The first two weeks were spent in an orphanage in a village about an hour away from the city. We were teaching the children and young adults English and having bible studies. These kids will be the future of changing this nation. The conditions were challenging for some because we went from our comforts of Hawaii to bucket showers and simple meals within 5 days. It was great though! Everyone got a heart for these children and we really saw God bring growth and character to our team. These children helped us to keep perspective on what it means to really need God. And what it really means to be joyful. We arrived back at the YWAM base in Battambang last weekend. We will be here for the remainder of our time here in Cambodia. We will all be teaching non-believers English, guitar, drama, art, Korean, and music. Each person has their own class of about 10-25 students. And through teaching, we can build relationship with our students and eventually teach them about God and what we believe. Our goal is to pour our time into 2-4 students and go deep with them in seeing salvation, discipleship, and encouragement. We want to be able to leave Cambodia and know that we made an impact on a few people that can have a sustained relationship with God without us. And, hopefully, some can get into missions!! This team is a huge blessing to Kristi (my co-leader) and I beyond our expectations. We are humbled at how these people walk out their walk with God on a daily basis. Thank you guys for all your support and prayers. I will be trying to update as much as I can. Thank You!!!!
