Building Fund Update and Other News

Hello everyone! I thought I'd give you an update on how things are going on the immediate need I mentioned earlier. We are in need of $2,800 to pay the contractor for work done on the church and the deadline is March 10. That's five more days. To date, we have seen $800 come in towards the need. Please folks, if you can do anything right now, this week, please do. We still lack $2,000 which needs to be paid in five days. Please pray and consider this immediate need!

We witnessed a very heartbreaking and tragic event this morning on our way to church. We were driving along the road not far from the house when we saw a young girl struggling and being dragged back into a brothel by her "papa-san" and "mama-san." For those who aren't aware of the human trafficking that goes on here, buying and selling children and young women is a big racket here. She was clearly being forced to work as a prostitute, clearly was struggling to escape, but the man had her by one arm and the woman had her in a "hammerlock" with the other arm. Intervention is not an option. Some of you may not understand that, but there is a seething and degenerate nature to this business of human trafficking. To stop the van and get involved would probably lead to getting shot to death right there in the street. Politicians, the police, and all the neighbors cooperate together in the trafficking of human beings. At this point, all one can do is pray and intercede for those caught up in this wicked business. Please join with us in prayer for these people.

Again, don't forget to pray about the immediate need for our building contractor. Only five more days and we lack $2,000. God bless you all! If you'd like to give,
make the check out to BBFI Missions and include a note saying that the funds are for "Haas/Cambodia/Building." That will let the office know to whom the funds are designated. Then mail the check to: BBFI Missions Office, P.O. Box 191, Springfield, MO 65801. It is crucial that you include the note stating that it is for "Haas/Cambodia/Building" so that the office will know where to deposit the funds. Thank you so much! God bless you!
