When I came to Cambodia last year I didnt know it was going to steal such a big piece of my heart. Cambodia opened my mind to mission work, before I had no desire to ever step foot out of my comfortable life. Now I am on the World Race (to all of you fellow WR you know what I am talking about) and my life has these past few months has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and all the comforts in life I once had have went down the drain. But I fell in love with a place and people that I never thought I would.
I am back. I spent the month of October here doing ministry with my team and it was amazing. Getting to work for New Life was a blessing and it won over my heart all over again. But I am back in Phnom Penh for a third time, a second time in two months. I get to spend two weeks here with three amazing girls from my squad (Lindsey, Pam, and Stephanie). They will be working once again in an AIDS orphanage and I will hopefully be working at New Life and also part time at the AIDS orphanage.They as well have developed huge hearts for the people of Cambodia and it is amazing to serve along side of people who are following there passions. It is a blessing that Stephanie (our squad leader) even heard our hearts and Jimmy (we love you Jimmy) let us follow where we thought the Lord was calling us. We will be here until November 10th and then we will go to Thailand to meet up with the rest of our squad.
Cambodia needs the hope only Jesus came bring. Not to long ago the whole country was destroyed by evil. Hundreds of people were killed in the Pol Pot Regime. Evil has taken over and its time for the Lord to take over again. The Holy Spirit is moving though and it is evident at New Life, thats why i feel so at home there. Pray that the Lord uses us in big ways here. He made it possible for us to return so we are desiring to be kingdom changers.
So I am pumped, Phnom Penh here we come. Praise the Lord that he gives us desires and makes them possible to reach. I want to encourage you that if the Lord puts something on your heart step out in faith and follow your passions. You can do it!
