What if you were given two options?

to get married or return to the bars

What if it was your mom asking you to choose?

What would you do?

What if you previously met the guy in the bar you once worked?
What if you don't love him? He's not a Christian.

Is it better than working in the bars? 

I just spoke to a friend who had to make this choice. She chose to marry, because she doesn't want to go back to the bars. She has dreams and desires to own her own salon.

It's heartbreaking. As tears filled her eyes all she asked is that I pray for her. Pray for her husband. Pray for a good job. Please join me in praying for this amazing young woman.

Over the last few months, I have decided that I am awful at writing blogs.

I guess I already knew this from my time on the World Race.

This time, I find it harder to write. One, because sometimes I don't see all that is happening. Two, I know that so much has changed since we arrived and a lot happening as I write. It's still the beginning..

There are many people we meet and many stories we hear. Not all of them are mine to share.

What a great time to be here. The kingdom of Wonder, Cambodia, is becoming home.

As this new year has begun, there is so much to look forward to. Thank you Jesus!

feed the lambs

We had our first team from Harvest School come to Cambodia. We had thirteen amazing people join us for two weeks and serve along side us. What a wonderful time indeed.

One of the projects I was in charge of was a mural for an organization called Feed my Lambs, a day-care center. The children cared for there belong to single working moms who bravely decided not to have abortions.

 

The wall is 4ftx22ft. Many people helped me to finish this along the way. Thank you to everyone of you! Here is the finished piece.
