Her name is Srey Chan. She is 12 years old. Has a smile to light up the darkness. Always raises her hand first in class. Sits front and center everyday. Pours tears when she thinks of past teams who came to visit. Wants to move to America to do a Discipleship Training School with YWAM. Is loved and gives love with words of affirmation. Writes me notes and says that she hopes to see them in heaven one day. Has adopted my name and is now known as Kaitlyn. Is never shy to ask me for a one-on-one. Held a Bible study at my house the other night, complete with songs, scriptures, and prayer. Always includes others. Loves relentlessly. Is goofy. And has more Spirit in her than any 12 year old I’ve ever met.
Who would have thought that a small village in the middle of Cambodia, would hold a child who is a missionary in the making? Srey Chan knows the heart of the Father and wants more of the Spirit. She is running after Him, and bringing others with her.
Just this morning, I was asking God to give these people the came chance that He gave me. The chance to know Him, follow Him, and be loved by Him.. For this is the greatest pleasure in life: To know and be known by our Maker. And yet as I sit here, jotting down my thoughts about Srey Chan, I can’t help but to know that He has already answered my request. In fact, He has given Srey Chan more than He gave me. She has such a raw faith at such a young age, and therefore will hopefully do even bigger things than I could imagine. I pray that her life will be used in the highest way… For she is bringing Kingdom here, and through her, her people have a chance as well.
God is not only speaking to His children in America, but all over the world… Even places like rural Cambodia. Our God knows no borders, no barriers, and no limits. He can speak directly to His people, or through us… But He speaks. He calls. He loves. He gives chances. This is the God I serve.

Srey Chan is on the right… Front and center, of course!
