This is a blog from my teammate Jordan about the girls that we are working with this month!
 
                                                  You know that feeling you get when your at the climax of a
television 
 show, and the screen goes black as the words, “To Be Continued…

                                                                                              pop
up?
                                                     All of a sudden you are launched into a time of delay or
waiting. As 

  
humans, patience is
not something we thrive in. Fortunately when it

 comes to a television show, the
waiting periods only last a week; but
 what about those real life moments of “To
Be Continued…
?”

 
In Pattaya, Thailand I had an intense experience of exposure
to the reality of so many women. My heart was being prepared for what I thought was going to be the
climax of my year-to see women come out of that lifestyle and begin a
restoration process. That,
however, was not the case; instead I was given a “To Be Continued…” revelation.

It wasn’t but a few weeks before my experience in Pattaya
picked back up, however, it continued in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I get to spend
most of my time here with seven INCREDIBLE young women, aging from 17 to 23
years old. These seven young women
all have a background of some form of bondage or slavery. Every day I am given
the opportunity to love and bond with them. Sometimes it will be in the form of
helping them with their English, other times it may simply be working along
side of them making purses. 

 
 The best part about my interaction with them is the joy that
is so
evident in their heart. Each
one of them has given their life to Christ;
in fact, two of these women will be
baptized this week. The intensity
in their smiles and laughs exemplify the very
nature of our LOVING Father. There
is no way you would guess the past of these young women, but with Christ in
their heart you definitely know their future
The transforming power of our Savior is incredible.
 
Day in and day out, constant discipleship is taking place in
their lives. They are the start of a new generation in Cambodia. Whatever they decide to do with their
lives, FREEDOM will be echoed in their testimonies. Like Rick Pino says, they are part of the generation “who
knows who they are, because they know who their God IS!”

FREEDOM!
