As my time is Cambodia and Asia comes to a close my heart is both sad and happy. It’s a confusing time of weird emotions but the Lord is faithful and has brought me a lot of peace. This chapter is coming to a close but a new one is starting.
So, here’s all that happened here during my time in Cambodia. Battambang for the first month, all squad month. My team and I rode bikes to and from ministry daily. We worked at the hospital and the café. Then we moved to Siem Reap for our first of three debriefs. Once everyone left from debrief, my team had Overflow Guesthouse to ourselves as we deep cleaned and assisted in preparing the guesthouse for the public. Once open, we helped with receptionist duties, taught English to the staff, prayer walked, waited on guests (bringing them tea, coffee, and their food), evangelized, cleaned some more, and much more. Our ministry opportunities were very flexible. We met new people, experienced a different culture, ate weird food, got muddy, got emotional, got soaked, and created memories I will cherish forever. God also drew my team closer and closer together and I have been so blessed by/with my new sisters in Christ.
A lot of my time here in Cambodia consisted on working on myself. Inner healing, searching out Jesus, falling in love with the Lord, laying down my wants and desires at Jesus’ feet, surrendering, finding my identity in Christ, forgiving myself, learning to trust others around me, trusting God with my future, the list goes on and on. So much learning and growing.
I have learned and grown more then I ever expected to over the last three months. I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for me over these next six months. It’s going to be amazing and I can’t wait to experience all these adventures with my best friend and savior.
I head to Ethiopia tomorrow. I don’t know a whole lot about the ministry I will be working with but I know it’s called Hopethiopia and I’ll possibly be teaching, farming, gardening, playing in orphanages, a little of all, etc… I won’t have service for weeks at a time. Therefore, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. I am grateful for you and all your support. Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and for reading my blogs. It means a lot to me knowing you are all half way across the world routing for me and being Jesus to those around you where you are.
With that said, Africa here we come! I am excited to meet you and experience all you have to throw my way Harbu Chulule.
Also, I’d love to get emails from all of you. Just to hear how your doing and how your Christmas’ and New Years are. Blessings 🙂
Prayer Requests:
Safe travels
Health over the next 3 months
Connections/ Unity within the whole squad
Passion and that we would not be complacent
Keeping ties with my team strong
Loving ALL PEOPLE UNCONDITIONALLY
