I’ve been so wound up in everything that there is to do… you know, it’s just hard for me to write. It’s like I have a voicemail in my head that immediately answers “You don’t have time Cameron, just go ahead and stay on track of what you’re doing; go to sleep, you need it! or get ready to leave or eat because we’re heading out in 5 minutes to ministry!” And i hardly ever consider writing at all. Well, that all stops NOW! I believe God does amazing things through these blogs, heck, its what made me sign up for this race! You know how many trips to this website it took me to sign up? ONE. It was a video blog that my Mom found on my sophomore year of College; I thought she was just gonna show me another puppy she wanted. No, I saw people riding vespa/motor scooters on what looked like a thousand miles of perfectly cut grass in the 10,000 peaks of China that looked like jagged spikes covered in the most beautiful foliage. Then I saw some guys riding an elephant in the jungle and I was basically sold right then… But then I saw what God was doing in these countries. I saw and heard real life testimonies of what these people on the race were going through and the heart that they had. I signed up right there.
Well, here’s what’s going on here in the Kingdom of Cambodia:
I’ve been living here in Phnom Penh for the past 2 weeks and will leave in about 2 weeks. Me and my team, Koinonia, have gone through a list of 8 or 9 ministry opportunities that were available options to take part in. However, all of them fell through, and we were without a “mission” or destination and had been staying at the Ywam base in Phnom Penh for a little over a week when our last ministry op. fell through and we knew God was saying something to our team specifically. God wanted us and is asking us now, to come to Him and seek His will and trust in Him… every day and every moment, in Phnom Penh here at this Ywam Base in Cambodia!
There is already a mission. I’m on the field.
Now, my first initial reaction is to look for what to do, but I make the greatest mistake by not going to the King for orders, for his plan… To make sure that God’s mission is successful, I’ve gotta go to Him… I’ve missed that by a long shot. But nevertheless, God is a loving Father who shows mercy and patience.
My team and I have received God and are trusting in Him alone. That is not an easy statement, but I mean it. We are Asking The Lord in Cambodia. He is bringing us closer to Him; we’re a body, but when we’re not all on relying on the brains of this group/body and not getting a lifeline from the heart of God, this body will fail in its purpose. EPHESIANS 4:1-6 ” As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Mae every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- one lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
