Putting faces to all of the injustice in
the world has been one of the biggest things for me this year. This month has
been no different. Seeing the kids, some abandoned, some in high risk
situations, but everyone with a story, I have been able to put faces on the
orphans of Cambodia and the world. Here are some of their faces:

This is Bun Theurn:
This is his story:
Bun Theurn is a 19-year-old guy who has
been at the orphanage for three years. He came upon an invitation of the
director after his mom died tragically in a traffic accident. He was living
with his grandfather, a farmer, at the time. He also has four younger siblings
who live at home with his father. Bun Theurn has been studying English since he
was in the 6th grade and is very fluent conversationally. He now
lives in a home with the older youth of the orphanage five minutes away. He
spends his time in school, studying, and helping out at the orphanage. Bun
Theurn also leads the worship at church every Sunday. He has hopes of going on
to study either English or business at the local University. He says that if he
studies English he would like to become a tour guide so that he ‘can talk to
many people.’ If he studies business he hopes to become a business owner. Bun
Theurn gets to see his family 2 or 3 times a year. They are Buddhist. He became
a Christian after coming to the orphanage. Please pray for him to have courage
and his influence with his family so that they may, with him, find “life to the
full!”
