Cambodia mini-update

As of Thursday, 30 April, 11:00 p.m. CST, I am now up to 93% or $3802! If you have told me you are giving but have not told me the amount, your gift is not included in this number.

There is still so much to do in preparation for the trip and to finish the semester that it will fly by. The Team Who is "we" you ask? The "we" refers to my teammate, Lisa Yunker, and myself. Lisa is a good friend and fellow student from DTS. We first met at a function for prospective students back in March 2006. She is also in the Cross-Cultural Ministries program and has some pretty awesome physical therapy skills too. I am grateful for my friendship with Lisa because she encourages me in the Lord and directs be back toward Him. I know this will be important as we minister in a land of darkness. The Ministries Our sending agency, CrossWorld, has already set up some ministry opportunities for us. At the beginning of the trip we w...
