My Thoughts & Prayer Requests

I wanted to share with you my thoughts, experiences and just express myself. I am called by God to be obedient in fufilling His desire for the Great Commission, I recieved the call when I was at the Horizon School Of Evangelism last year. This last trip to Cambodia in December of 2007 was a stepping stone in which I learned alot about the people, culture, language & me. It truly was a remarkable time in which it also was a time where I saw the retchedness of my sinful heart...and a fresh new desperation for My Savior Jesus. For example: The "I want it and I want it now" mindset here in the U.S. doesn't go over very well there...and being in that culture God allowed me to see my sin. It was great being around so many children at the orphanages, I sure learned alot from them. They have the purest faith...they trust that at 5pm there will be food on the table & that they will be protected. I really enjoyed the children so much, just being with them with no agenda...except loving them and being with them (Mark 3:14a).
I currently exploring my "invitations" to serve in Cambodia, to initally get my foot in the door in the country. I traveled from the heart of the country Phnom Penh to the eastern boarder of Vietnam, to the seacoast in the south to the Thai boarder in the west...it was a trek! I met with some really awesome ministries: YWAM Battambang, Light House Church Phnom Penh, AOG Bible College in Phnom Penh, Local Pastor Discipleship in Svay Rieng, MMF Orphanage in Poipet, Church Planting in Poipet, CHO Ministries in Poipet. I saw corruption, prostitution, drugs, oppression, greed, power hunger, brokeness, hopelessness, spiritual deciet, the desperate need of Jesus! (1Cor.10:4 "For the weapons...are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds...")I am really looking forward to Feburary, I plan to set the month aside for prayer & fasting and lay the "serving invitations" & The Strongholds Of Cambodia down before His feet. I am excited to have you be a part of the ministry that God has entrusted to me. I Invite You To Join With Me In Prayer & Fasting!
Prayer Requests:
1) Be In Love With Jesus.
2) Cambodia - Stronghold of Buddhism Torn Down.
3) Focus - Preparation To Cambodia.
4) Next Step (Ministry)/ Further Direction (Location In Cambodia).
