First, I want to apologize to my supporters back home for the delay of my blogs. Many of you already know the reason for this delay and I ask that you continue to pray for me. This blog is for the week of Sept. 19-25. Please look out for other blogs that will be posted throughout the week.   Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.”                       This week of ministry at the...

What a beautiful week I've had in so many aspects: seeing the Gospel bear fruit in a room of students who 2 weeks ago had never heard it, personal growth, and sweet time building friendships with my team mates. I was going to write brief summary of what's been happening in our English classroom during Bible study time, but after reading Erin's blog I find no need.  She gives a beautiful depiction of the sweet moments that have happened in our classroom.  I believe that this is an example of the momentum that our team has felt building over the past two weeks....

This  week God has given me a heart for everything we do. I can honestly say I have finally completely immersed myself in the ministry we're involved in and it has been more than I could have asked for. I went from wanting to leave from day one to loving every bit of ministry we have been involved in. I find it so humorous that I'm not someone who really has a heart to be involved with children but being around the kids and teaching them English is what I look forward to most during the week. I have never been happier being around children because I know I am being used...

“…you will know that the LIVING GOD is among you and that He will without fail drive out from before you [all of your enemies].” Joshua 3:10 Did you catch that? God promises His children, that if they trust in Him, He will without fail defeat all of their enemies. Those personal demons of your past that keep rearing their ugly heads will be destroyed. Those lies that Satan whispers in your ear about how you are not good enough and God isn’t either will be silenced. That one sin that you struggle with the most and can’t seem to overcome will be overcome...

This week has been a steady one. We have finally equalized and set into our routine from day to day. It felt good to be back teaching class and bible study. I still have had a bit of writer’s block when I sit down to write these blogs each week but am trying to power through them. I’m really hoping to dig in more this week. I would love to work more with the street children around the city. We’ll be moving tomorrow so it will be nice to have a change of scenery and get to know new surroundings.   All in all this week was good. Bible study has been amazing. The week...

These verses have impacted my growth and change throughout this trip. See these pictures, hear this song, and read these verses and remember that God is good and God had plans for each of our lives.

Hello Everybody! I hope all is well in your lives! Life in Cambodia is awesome! This past week we got back into ministry and back on a schedule which has been great! I just wanted to share a story that has been in the making ever since our first day of English classes. The first official week of ministry I found myself along with my teammates Kori and Emily teaching an elementary English class in the morning. The class consists of one hour of English and thirty minutes of bible. I explained in an earlier blog that I got to be part of a group who shared the gospel for the first...

I'm sitting here in a cafe in Cambodia, with tears rolling down my cheeks; tears of joy, tears from a broken heart and tears that have realized that at times, not knowing the answer is the best answer.  This past week was a struggle for me. I spent a lot of time contemplating the wonders of God and trying to find the answers to many questions that have evolved in my head over the last month. I feel as if my body went through every possible emotion spiritually and at times, physically. I battled believing the fact that God is good. I feel a bit hypocritical typing that, but truly...
