Half Way

Here we are at the half way point of outreach. We have one more month of ministry here in Cambodia. It has been an absolute blessing living life with 12 friends. We have truly built family and we are starting to see what God wants to do in this nation. Everyone is starting to build relationships with the local Khmer (Cambodian) people. They are able to share Jesus, pray with them, and disciple them. We are getting excited to see what God wants to do through us this last month. We prayed yesterday morning and we felt to go to the government office here in Battambang. We think that there might be a divine appointment waiting for us to be able to share Jesus with someone in the government. Prayer for this would be amazing!! The Lord is moving through us each and everyday, and we are loving every minute of it. This outreach has been nothing but joy, love, fruit, and family. We have had our ups and downs (just like any other team would), but it has been outweighed by the presence of our Creator in Heaven. I thank God for the people who are praying for us over here. I can't express the abundance of grace that is poured out over this team everyday. Thank you for your prayers and support!! Blessings!!!

Youth Center!

This first month has flown by!! We have seen God is so many different aspects of life. The people here are showing us that we don't need have the 'stuff' we have in America. It makes every single one of us appreciate what we have at home. Everyone is loving it here after getting used to the culture, language barrier, and food. Once we get past that, we see God everywhere. And, that overrides all circumstance. We are starting our teaching tomorrow. Each person on our team has their own class teaching their own subject. Most of our students are non-believers so it is one of the best evangelism tools here in Cambodia. We get to build relationship with our class, spend time with them outside of the class, and share our testimonies and faith with them. We are praying for salvations, and we want to be able to disciple them to the point of being foundational. If we can pour into around 2 to 3 people these next 2 months, we can change this nation. We have 13 people, and if those 3 people do that same thing when we leave what we did with them, this thing can multiply big time!! And, this is what the YWAM base's strategy is to reach the lost, and in the past, it has worked! So we are glad to be apart of what God is doing here. Thank you for your prayers and support! God bless!!!

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!!!!

We Arrive!!

We are here in Cambodia safe and sound!! Our team landed last night around 10:30pm. We arrived here in Phnom Phen, and we will be leaving tomorrow morning (saturday) for Battambang. We will be in Battambang for the majority of the time, but the first two weeks we will be spending in a village. The village is located in the south western part of the nation. There is an orphanage there that we went to last year, and we had a blast! Everyone has made it healthy and we are all very excited to see what God has for us in this wonderful nation of Cambodia! We will be working with women that have been rescued from sex trafficking to playing with little kids in the streets. Everyday will look different and I can't wait to see what will happen. We are submitted to God's heart because we know that is the only way to go. We will soon know what it is really like when Jesus says, "Blessed is the poor in Spirit". We will be waking up everyday and telling God, "We need you today, Help us Father". Our Father in heaven loves to provide for His children :)

ps - Thank You for all the support in prayer and finance. I wouldn't be able to do it without y'all!!!

He is Faithful!!

I recieved all of my outreach money this week!!! The Lord provided every penny needed to go to Cambodia. We now leave the 20th of this month. Less than two weeks!!! I am so excited for what the Lord has for us as a team. Thank you all for your prayers!!

Outreach Around the Corner

As outreach is coming around the corner, I am in need of $1,300 dollars by the end of this week. I know that the Lord will provide, but I am asking for everyone to pray to see if they can get behind me in any way. This school has been amazing, and the Lord has big plans for us as Cambodia. If anyone wants to get behind in this, just click the Paypal icon on the page. Thank y'all for your support and prayers. Blessings!!
