Long Dry Season

Hello again and here we are at the end, we hope, of a long dry season. We have seen rain maybe twice in the last five months. So, we'll be happy when the monsoon season arrives. Some love rain, some hate rain. I'm with those who love rain. It gets so dusty here that I just love it when the rain cleans the junk out of the air.

Our churches and missions here in Phnom Penh and east toward the border with Vietnam are going well. Our church here in the capitol is trying to raise money to help build a shelter for the new Kandal province church. They are going to buy posts, lumber, and palm thatch for the roof. In addition, they are raising money to buy plastic, stackable chairs. In the future, we may try to lay a cement floor down. In the rainy season there tends to be little "rivers" that run through the congregation! In the meantime, we'll get some sandbags to hold the water out.

We are still short on our need for the $2,800 that we need to pay for the work that the building contractor has already done. We have a little over $1,000 that's come in to date. Please pray about the remaining $1,800 that we need, as well an additional $5,000 to completely finish the building. We are SO close! Please pray that we will see God work a miracle to get this project completely finished.
