Friday was a great day of salvation in the Cambodian village we are ministering in. We have been teaching English and Bible to about 120 young people since the middle of July in this beautiful village. There are two Christian families in the entire village and the rest are Buddhist families. They are primarily Buddhist only by culture, not necessarily by practice or conviction. However, “To be Cambodian is to be Buddhist.” Continue Reading

Our team has begun to see fulfillment of many of the hopes we had for our outreach in Cambodia. Just this past weekend we were able to lead 7 young people to a commitment to Christ! These young people have been so excited about their new life in Jesus and it has been wonderful to walk with them as they start this new journey. We arrived here in Battambang on July 14th and began teaching the following day. We wondered if this would be an effective means of sharing the Good News and we are now discovering that it is probably the most effective method of evangelism in this part of the world!

Tomorrow morning our call2all outreach team in Cambodia is launching a church plant in a Cambodian village near Battambang. We are joining with a wonderful long-term missionary here to see this community begin.

Well, our team finished the last day of ministry here in Bangkok today. What a wonderful two weeks! Just remembering all that we have experienced is amazing. We spent a day touring a Buddhist temple and some tourist attractions, we spent many days with King’s Kids doing fun discipleship programs, and also many hours working on service projects in the slum. We spent hours across the street doing evangelism at the university. Continue Reading

Yesterday was such a wonderful day for our outreach team here in Bangkok! We spent most of the day as a team working in a community close to the YWAM Thailand base. We put on our construction hats in the morning and laid some concrete in a small section of the community while others passed out Gospel tracts and another group shared with a woman who is very open to the Gospel. This woman, Joy, a couple days ago as a Buddhist, prayed to our God to send some people to help fix her house. The next day we arrived to repair the siding of her home that sits above a sewage filled swamp. Continue Reading

What a couple days! After flying through Honolulu, Tokyo, Taipei, and arriving in Bangkok we have been experiencing a beautiful part of the world with our outreach team. We are staying with YWAM Thailand and have been blessed to be hosted by an amazing group of leaders. Yesterday we were overwhelmed by an orientation that helped us understand Thai culture and how to stay here and be effective in our ministry in this area. We also watched a DVD showing the collection of ministries that are based out of YWAM Thailand. Incredible! This place is busting at the seams with vision. Every ministry highlighted brought us to tears and made us hope we were going to be working with all of them! Continue Reading
