Youth camp was supposed to start next week on Monday, but there's been a bit of a change. We are still having youth camp, but instead of beginning on Monday, we're starting on Tuesday. There's also been a change of venue. It seems that the governor of the province where the camp site is located has arbitrarily decided that no Christian activities will be permitted there. This is property that is owned by a Christian organization. There are no private property rights in Cambodia. The property is rural property, but you cannot conduct "religious" activities on property that you own unless you have permission to do so. We were told this morning that the governor has not and will not allow any Christian activity. If we were Buddhist, there would be no problem. And there's more. The people who run the property were told, "If you hold a camp there, we will confiscate all your land and arrest all the leaders (pastors and missionaries). Those in charge of the camp this year scrambled to find another place and were successful, but we won't start until Tuesday.
We are in the devil's territory and he doesn't like it. The most common statue in Cambodia besides Buddha is that of a seven-headed serpent. Does that tell you anything about Cambodia? Last year we had 400 kids in camp and about 25 kids got saved. Satan doesn't want that happening again. Please pray for next week's camp. Pray for the speakers and for all the kids. We are praying that God will work a great spiritual victory in spite of all the devil has thrown at us.
