Saturday was our last Youth Program, since Josh and I will be leaving this Wednesday morning. Josh and I both spoke at the meeting. I spoke to the Christians about joy being an evidence of Christ-filled heart. Josh spoke to the congregation about the authenticity of the Bible and the answers that all religions pine away for. It wasn’t even a long message but it was really powerful and full of information, which is obviously a fruit of studying.

After we preached, our students from each class came to the front to hug us and say good bye, and they also gave us gifts and homemade cards. It was really sweet. Some of my Bible study girls were pretty emotional, although we will meet again tomorrow for the last time.

 As for me, do I want to leave Cambodia? Not really. I’ve liked Cambodia even more than I expected. We had originally only planned on working with New Life in Christ Church for 2 months because we came to Cambodia to be with another ministry. When schedules had to be pushed back, we ended up staying with NLCC for 5 months more. This ministry has opened my eyes to the dedication, out flowing love and sacrifice of the pioneer spirit, which the founders Keat and Sally demonstrate. They have many awesome plans for the future.

 Cambodia itself has opened Josh and I’s eyes to the reality of the 10/40 window, which somehow got neglected by Christians after William Carey’s work.

 

Tomorrow Josh I will be in the New Hope School and the evening English school for the last time...come on, Holy Spirit!
