A Message for the Team from HOME...

Cambodia Team: This verse jumped off the page for me. I read it last year and it stood out, then I read it again this year and it jumped off the page, so here it is. 2 Corinthians 2:14,15. "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." ... I visualize the Team walking into the village in triumphal procession. With communication being limited there is a universal language that speaks without words. The fragrance of Christ is recognizable. The aroma of God's love is in the air and it cannot be missed. You represent the fragrance of the knowledge of him. The aroma of Christ lingers in the air. Without words, God's love spreads from village to village. You speak without words, but they understand.

I am praying for the Team,

We Are Here!

All of our connections went very well. It was fun to see lots of snow in Chicago and Seoul. It is about 1:00am in Cambodia. Everyone just settled down into their hotel rooms...waiting on the AC to catch up :)

I already know we have a great team! Everyone has been so happy and easy going during the almost 30 hours of travel. I'm so glad so many folks have returned on our team, but I think I am even more excited to see Cambodia through the eyes of our first-timers. Especially the students!

It was so good to see our two missionaries - Lauren and Tamara. It is hard to believe that it was two months ago that I came with them to Cambodia to drop them off. And, as always it is good to see my friend Pastor Sokhom. Tomorrow holds lots of adventure. Make sure and check back for perspectives from different team members.

Thank God for safe travel!
