Camp and Rat Report

Hey everybody,
We just got back from camp in Sihanoukville. As I mentioned in the last post, the location for camp this summer had to be hastily changed at the last minute due to problems with the government of Cambodia. This morning I preached to about 450-500 youth at our 7th Annual Cambodia Baptist Youth Camp. I don't yet have anything to tell you about how many have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. We'll have to wait on that. The theme of the camp is Acts 15:7 about the Gentiles hearing the gospel and believing through our witness.

Last night I took some of the orphans out to eat in Sihanoukville. We took the younger ones who aren't old enough to go to camp. Here we are sitting in this restaurant near the beach. The cat that lives at the restaurant saw or smelled a rat over along the wall of the restaurant. We heard this "cat sound" (how do you type the sound a cat makes?) and thought "ah, he got the rat!" Wrong! The rat was huge and black and chased the cat through the restaurant! That's a Cambodian rat!
