There are many of you who know my parents well and there are some of you who do not know them at all. If you haven't met them, there have a joyfulness and a selflessness that just spreads to you. For those of you who don't know, my parents recently moved to Cambodia a few months ago to begin their career as first-time missionaries. Instead of retiring, they decided to serve God in Cambodia. Quite a testament to their willingness to do whatever it takes. Their goal is to plant 2 churches in Phnom Penh (the major city there) among the upper class (politicians, business men, etc.)
My mom is growing rapidly with her Cambodian, she now is able to speak 80-90% in Khmer (Cambodian). My dad continues to teach/preach in the churches and recently led a dozen people to Christ through people that were introduced to him by friends (they don't waste any time do they?). He also had the opportunity (with other pastors) to baptize 50 new believers (a number of them were led to Christ by my dad)!
My parents have also had an opportunity to make connections with some high ranking officials in the Cambodian government.
Please pray for my parents as they continue to learn to adapt to the Cambodian culture, while spreading the message of hope, faith, and love.
