Well after 78 days of travel and outreach in Southeast Asia I’ve finally arrived back in the United States! It is so wonderful to be reunited with my family after being apart for 17 days. It was the best sight to pull up to the YWAM base here in Kona with and see my three beautiful children jumping up and down and screaming because “daddy’s home!” Ahh…to be loved! It’s amazing what kind of impact that has on you. When you are loved it brings so much significance to your life. Continue Reading

This past weekend as part of our Call2All DTS Outreach we attended the U of N Cambodia Staff retreat as a team. We were able to participate in the weekend as temporary staff and what a privilege it was to hear what God is doing in this nation in and through the U of N here. I had the honor of leading worship for the event and had so much fun as the presence of the Lord was heavy as 160 Khmer worshipped the Lord with passion for Jesus! There were celebrations of 50 years of YWAM internationally and 10 years of the U of N Cambodia. 3 years ago there were only a small handful of YWAMers in Cambodia and now there are over 150 staff and the number is growing all the time! What a miracle! Many of these YWAMers are Khmer people which is so great to raise up local leaders to reach this nation and the surrounding nations. Continue Reading

I have had the privilege this past week of leading worship for the DTS Regional Workshop for Cambodia and the surrounding nations. It is so beautiful when you have voices from Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines and more all singing the praises of Jesus! Each morning’s worship session was unique in how the Holy Spirit led and each was just as special. We had a morning inspired by my son Jacob’s worship as I used his child sized guitar and led us in some fun loving children’s worship songs. The group got right into the mood and danced before the Lord with great joy as God touched our hearts! Continue Reading

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. It has been a point of prayer for Mileng for a long time and with the passion of our team to see churches planted she felt it was the perfect time! Continue Reading
