Cindy's Cancer Checkup in Malaysia

Well, friends, we are here in Malaysia. Cindy has been in doctor appointments most of the day. It looks like we will be here longer than we thought. The melanoma skin cancer in her left eye is raising. The doctor said that it's urgent to remove it. Furthermore, she'll be getting a full body CT scan to search for more cancer throughout the body. We know that God is in control, but we do covet your prayers at this time. We were planning to return to Phnom Penh on Saturday, but she will having surgery to remove the melanoma from her eye sometime between Friday and Tuesday of next week. Thank you for your love and prayers!

Like the "Wild, Wild West"

Seems lately that we've seen the crime escalating around our house and neighborhood. Last Tuesday, a young Christian girl, early 20s was robbed of her motorbike and shot two streets over from us. What a shame! She was a really smart girl and translated for a lady from England who's teaching a girls Bible study.

Then last night, about 1 am, we were awakened by a gunshot just outside our house, then in succession, five more shots. It was right directly in front of our house. I jumped up and ran to our balcony that overlooks the street. People were milling about, but I couldn't tell what was happening. Then today I asked one of the neighbors, "Dtae mien ewey ca'ut la'ung yoop maing?" or "What was going on last night?" Found out that it was a shootout between police and some bad guys. That's all I know. Don't stop praying for your missionaries here in Cambodia.

Haley's Home for Orphans

Several years ago, a young lady named Haley Pharr became burdened for the children of Cambodia. She dedicated her life to come to Cambodia to help orphans. Her life was ended in a tragic car accident. In her memory, her family set up the Haley Pharr Foundation. The foundation has given money for land and construction. However, we still lack $26,788 towards our final payment to the builder. This property will serve many purposes. First, it will provide a loving, Christian home for orphans in Cambodia. We will move our orphans into this new home and begin taking in more children as God gives us the support to do so. Then, it will serve as a lighthouse in the Phnom Penh Thmey area as we plant a church here. It will be a hub of discipleship, training the youth of Cambodia to take the gospel to their own people.
That's a lot of money to come up with in less than three months! But,it is God's work and it is God's money! We are trusting that God will touch the hearts of His people to help us take care of orphans in Cambodia! Brethren, there are so many needs in order to make this home for orphans ready to move in! We need to buy a diesel generator, hot water heaters, beds, closets, lockers, tables, chairs, cafeteria furniture, a refrigerator, fans, mattresses, and the list goes on. This would be a great project for your church, youth group, Sunday school class, or Vacation Bible School missions offering.

Please help us to help orphan boys and girls in Cambodia! Together, we can reach them for Jesus Christ! Continue to pray for us as we represent our Saviour Jesus Christ and as we represent you here in Cambodia!

Visitors From The Missions Office

We were blessed by having our Missions Director, Bro. Jon Konnerup and Associate Director Bro. Dennis Jennings with us for a few days. They arrived in Cambodia on Saturday the 31st and left on Wednesday, April 4th. It was nice to have them both in our services on Sunday. This past Sunday was commune council elections across Cambodia, so in accordance with Cambodian law, we started our service as soon as the polls closed. Bro. Konnerup, Bro. Jennings, and myself went out to see the killing fields on Tuesday. I've been many times, but each time it is such a heartbreaking thing. Millions went out into eternity without God in the four years of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. Pray for Cambodia!

Orphanage Update

We want to take this opportunity to update you on the progress of the Haley Pharr Home for Orphans. The construction is progressing right along. The builders are trying to get things wrapped up before the strong rains begin this summer. We are expecting that the construction will be finished in early to mid-August. Please pray that this will be accomplished. Our lease on our current house is up at the end of this month. Pray that we won't have to extend the contract very long.

We have seen another $5,000 come in towards the orphanage from some brothers and sisters in Christ in California. Praise the Lord for this loving gift from the saints of God! We now need only $26,788 in order to pay the builder. This money is due in the next four months, so please prayerfully consider what God would have you do to help us provide a home for 100 Cambodian orphans.



This home will, as I said, will provide a safe and loving home for up to 100 children. We are giving God's love and gospel to these children because of people like you who help support this ministry. Through your gifts we are able to provide a home, food, education, and all the needs of a child. God has given us a warm and loving relationship with these needy children. These children, before we take them in, are in very risky situations. As the support for the orphanage increases, we can take in more children. But right now, we need your help to finish this building. We have about four months to raise $26,788. Please pray with us about this. If you would like to give, please contact us at haas4cambodia@yahoo.com. Thank you and God bless you!
