We Are Moved In!

There's still a "skeleton" crew of construction workers here finishing up some little odds and ends in the new building. The construction money has ALL come in and we can make our final construction payment! Praise God! We were hit yesterday with a surprise invoice of $3,500 for the occupancy permit! When we pay, we get it! That's Cambodia. So, again, we pray for God's supply. We have already moved in, but need to pay the government $3,500 for the legality of it all! Please pray and please help us if you can. Our orphans and my family are so unbelievably excited about the fact that it is finished and we are moved in! Now we set ourselves to the task of getting funds for furnishing and equipping the property as well as landscaping the property. Please, pray with us and help us if you can. We cannot do this without your prayers and financial help!

Floods at our Capitol City Baptist Church

Well, a combination of two factors has created quite a mess at our church in Nirot. Capitol City Baptist Church has water on three of the four sides of the building. In a few days, it may be an "island." We should change the name to "Island of Hope Baptist Church" or something like that!



The church has some repairs that need to be done, once the water subsides! If you can, please help this poor church with an offering for the building! Email me if you would like more info about the specifics of the need. God bless you all!

Getting Close to Moving In!!!

As you can see, the buildings are near completion. We need your help to furnish and equip this new orphanage. Our most immediate need is a diesel generator. We are having daily power outages, lasting for hours. Praise the Lord! Our financial need for the well and pump was met!

In the second photo, Rheum is the man in the middle working on the well pump. He was a Buddhist monk who has heard the gospel and received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. In the third photo, Pilot is up on the ladder working on the electricity. He was a government soldier several years back, waging a war against the Khmer Rouge.

This is a sample of the hard work that is going into making "Haley's Home" a reality! Please partner with us in bringing the gospel of Christ to the orphans of Cambodia!

Battling On

It seems that Satan throws everything he can at us to stop the forward march of the truth of the Gospel. By the grace of God, we try to remain clothed with the armor of a soldier of Christ and fight the good fight of faith. When I feel like the enemy is all around me, the only thing you can do is drop to your knees and call for air support! In other words, you pray!

Please pray for the construction funds to come in so that we can make our final payment this month. Also, we need setup funds to take care of:

1. Digging a well
2. Water purification system
3. Diesel generator
4. Furniture (Beds, dressers for everyone)
5. Cafeteria tables for the dining hall
6. Appliances for the orphanage kitchen
7. Various other miscellaneous items

I have an itemized list of needs and would be glad to email you one on request. Just email me at haas4cambodia@yahoo.com and I will zip one off to you.

Pray for us!

Evangelistic Youth Camp Update

As promised, here's a picture from evangelistic camp. Youth are pictured at the altar after responding to the gospel. 745 were saved from among the 2,010 youth who attended. 198 have been baptized already! 105 have committee themselves to go to Bible College. Last year we had 831 in camp and 329 saved, so you can see how the camp ministry is growing! To God be the glory!

Evangelistic Camp

Hi everyone,
We just finished up an outstanding week at evangelistic camp! Using a program of back to back three day camps, we had 2,010 youth attend during the week. The emphasis is on evangelism and our aim is to bring in at least 70% unsaved kids. During that time, over 700 young souls received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! We are rejoicing and follow-up has already begun. 108 of those have now been baptized already. We are now working with the missionaries and pastors to begin discipleship work with these new believers. Thank you for praying for the work of God in Cambodia! I tried to post photos this time, but something wasn't working right. Will try again in a few days.

Orphanage Dedication

We aren't completely finished with the construction, but went ahead with the dedication for the new Haley's Home orphanage. Pastor Steve Baskin, his daughter Karri-Marie, and Dr. and Mrs. Jack Baskin were in attendance to dedicate the new orphan center. It was a wonderful ceremony with good singing from Karri and the orphans. Gen. Heng Vuthy and Mr. Kien Khea both gave testimonies regarding the work of helping orphans in Cambodia. Pastor Steve and his daughter Karri talked about Haley and how her dream was to minister to orphans in Cambodia. Then Dr. Baskin preached a short message. We had about 80 people attend the ceremony on a beautiful, sunny day in Phnom Penh.

Our deadline for construction funds is about 30 days away. Please pray that the remaining $26,788 will come in so that we can make our final payment on time. Also, pray for funds to furnish and equip the new orphanage. We depend on God to touch your hearts to take care of orphan boys and girls in Cambodia! God bless you!
