Hey everyone! I was beyond blessed with the opportunity to visit the states this May for two and a half weeks so I could be home for some big moments for my family and friends. I was able to watch my youngest brother Casey graduate from high school and was able to see one of my best friends since childhood get married! I had a ton of fun catching up with all my friends and family and also had a great time fellowshipping with my home church, Calvary Hills.
There is a lot going on in Cambodia right now in mine and Bre’s ministries so let me catch you up with all of the details.
Bre is just an amazing person, if I haven’t stated that before! She is running C O H in the absence of the Katherine, the director of the children’s home. She is constantly doing so much there, from organizing the staff to dealing with emotional and spiritual problems that the kids are going through. She is a strong woman, but knows she can’t do this by her own strength. She really relies on the Lord for strength and support in all that she is responsible for and the Lord has been faithful. There are difficulties every day and problems that seem too hard to fix, but the Lord has been faithful and has been moving in that home in miraculous ways. Please continue to pray for Bre and C O H as there are daily physical, emotional, and spiritual battles that they face.
Doors have been opening up for me to start another pastors Conference in another village, Kampong Channang. Pastors are starving for knowledge and truly desire a better understanding of the Bible and how to lead their church Biblically. There has been a lot of interest from local pastors to go through training seminars, but most of the pastors can not leave their farms, families, and churches to receive the proper training, so what I am doing is, meeting them at a centralized local church and pastors from several churches will gather there to learn and fellowship together as leaders in their communities. They will be able to take their knowledge back to their churches, families, and communities hence sharing the knowledge and the love of Christ more effectively to their people. I will be traveling out to a new village that I have never been to before although the main pastor from that village did study at our bible school in Phnom Penh, so I have a connection there. The Lord has been pushing me to go out there and begin teaching through the Word and IBS (Inductive Bible Study) and I can not ignore His call any longer. If the Lord continues to keep this door open I will be able to go out to their village once a month and study the Word with them. Please pray for me and the pastors that will be attending. Pray for open hearts and minds and that the Lord would govern our time together.
