So Much To Do, So Little Time ......

Group photo of our team with some of the people at the church on August 14

(I took the photo, so I'm not in it)

Since my last post on August 5, there has been much on the go.

I think this time, there won't be a lot of words, but many photo's.

Here's a summary of what we've been up to:

- Financed and helped build a new structure for a small church/school/Bible study. It took us just over 2 days, and there were no power tools involved at all. For the building, toilet, benches and desks it was $390 USD.

- Attended a welcome home supper for 2 young Cambodian's who had just returned from their YWAM DTS in Northern Cambodia. There were 28 of us there.

- Assisted an American medical team of nurses and doctors with a two-day clinic. We helped set-up, take-down, and then prayed for the patients when they came out. Of course, most who attended were not Christian and it was a great opportunity to share God's love.

- Participated in a monthly 8-church prayer meeting in another village. We couldn't believe it had already been a month since the last one we went to.

- Continued with our daily (when possible) evangelism and teaching in the schools, as well as actively participate with several Bible study groups, and church services. We are called on at the last minute in most cases, but sometimes we do get a little bit of notice before we have to give a sermon/message/testimonial. We have had the difficult task of saying good-bye already to some of our students, as we go to the schools on a rotation.

So here are some photo's that I hope you enjoy:

It is taking forever to download these pictures, so I'm going to close off this post and will do another post tomorrow with some more from other activities. Check back if you'd like to see them.
