Wrapping Up
Phnom Penh, in transit to Sihanouk Ville: We’ve spent the last two weeks in Rattanakiri, a rural province in Eastern Cambodia. Our time there was spent evaluating an agriculture flood relief project started in several villages, after their rice harvest was wiped out last October. Two nights were spent in the village; living up close…
Putting action to our words
So, after two weeks of talking about agriculture we started to put our plans into action. We spent Tuesday and Thursday mornings moving a mountain of dirt to fill in and raise the bed of a garden we’re going to plant at the orphanage. It was exciting to see the kids being excited to help…
It’s raining
This may not mean much to you temperate climate dwellers, but here in tropical Cambodia it’s very much the dry season. So, this rain is very unexpected. For the last two weeks, the team has been taking part in an agriculture class along with four Khmer students from the YWAM base. We do that in…
Leaving Bali, On to Cambodia
Hello from Malaysia. I am currently sitting in an airport in Kuala Lumpur at a McDonalds using their free internet and drinking some Starbucks.

Torlesse like we wanted to. So, we decided to go scree sliding instead. Scree: noun, a mass of small loose stones that form or cover a slope on a mountain. Scree…
Thinking over the title of this blog
I can’t believe how appropriate it has been for the last three years. Every time I take a step, I start thinking about the next one. Someday, I’d like the next step to last more than a year or two.
I don’t even have the words.
This week has been amazing. God is really pouring out his love and power into us as we approach these last few weeks before outreach. For an awesome example of this, I refer you to Angela’s blog on Blessings. Earth Care had a fun afternoon learning some more conversational Khmer, and praying for each members…
Ok, Lord. Bring it on.
Last Friday, I gave my life to Jesus. I don’t mean salvation. That happened years ago. I mean the continual process of laying down my rights to my self and just living in obedience to the King of Kings. We are a product of the decisions we make. The most important? Who will be the…
