Report From Cambodia Trip

I had a wonderful trip to Cambodia, having just returned this past Saturday. There were a few problems that needed to be handled, but overall, the trip was really wonderful! We've made some changes and adjustments in ministries there, and are confident in the Lord that this will be a positive step.

It was good to see Brother Pilot and his family again also. Brother Pilot is a tremendous help to me in the Lord's work. He is faithful and dedicated to the Lord. He is helping me take care of our orphans. In addition, he is taking care of our Bible students and guiding them as they study the Bible in Phnom Penh. He also helps me with our mission churches throughout Cambodia.

We cooperated with other independent Baptist missionaries in the annual evangelistic camp. Over 8,000 youth attended camp over a three week period and about 2,200 young souls made professions of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! To God be the glory! The picture at the beginning of this post shows the kids in their afternoon activities learning to work together as they work themselves across the water on ropes.

It was also such a thrill to be reunited again with our orphans. It has been several months since we left for furlough and so seeing them again was GREAT! They are growing up and changing so much it seems! I was able to help them be able to go on a trip to an island off the coast of Cambodia to do some swimming and fishing.

I want to thank the Stephens family for their kind hospitality, allowing me to stay with them during my trip. It was a great time of fellowship and I miss it already!

These are some of our youth in one of the village missions we've started.
