From Cambodia

Hi everyone,
Well, here I am, "live" from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I am here for a short trip to check on the mission works and the orphans. Things are going well here, praise the Lord! I am encouraged by the strength of spirit in our Cambodian brethren and how they've grown spiritually. They are winning souls and burdened for evangelism. We're in the midst of our evangelistic youth camp right now. We've been able, by your prayers, financial support, and God's grace to send 1,250 youth to this camp. The preaching by Brothers Valdez and Tabanao has been Spirit-filled and the Lord is moving in hearts. The total attendance at the camp to date has been over 4,000 with over 2,000 youth professing faith by receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. Praise the Lord!

Please continue to pray for my wife, Cindy. She had another CT scan last Thursday and will meet with her lung specialist on Wednesday. She is in a lot of pain and she says it is getting worse. I am waiting to hear from her regarding the doctor's intentions on what to do next. We do thank you for your prayers and ask that you please continue to bring her before God's Throne of Grace!

Big Evangelistic Camp Coming Up

We're expecting thousands of youth for our upcoming evangelistic camp this month. I'll be leaving for Cambodia in about a week in order to be there with our group. We're taking 600 youth from our churches to be a part of our evangelistic camp. Please pray for this camp and join with us in spiritual battle as we war against the devil. Satan always tries to stop our camps because Cambodia is territory that he has claimed for centuries, even millenia. Souls of young men and women are all over this battlefield and Satan is fighting to keep their hearts and minds blinded to the liberating gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks to Missionary Paul Tabanao for these photos of last month's camp.

Reporting In

Hi everyone, nothing much new to report on Cindy's health situation. She had an outpatient surgery yesterday and they did another biopsy. We're waiting for results.

In the meantime, I will be making a trip to Cambodia around the middle of this month and into the first week of September. Please pray for God's supply for this trip. I have the return portion of my ticket to go there, but need to raise about $1600-2000 for another ticket. We'd appreciate any help with the airline ticket! There are some ministry things that need attention and it is a "must" trip.

One thing coming up is evangelistic camp. We're expecting 5000 to 6000 kids in August to attend a camp with an evangelistic focus. Please pray that thousands of Cambodian youth will be saved during camp in August.

Some of our young men graduated from Bible school last month. They are pictured here.
