Week Twenty: 02/26-03/02


Galatians 6:9-10 “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”


This is it, the last stretch. We have exactly one month left in Cambodia as I write this. To be honest, I’m tired and I sometimes find myself looking for the next portion of this program. But I have to continuously remind myself that it’s not about me. It was never about me and it will never be about me. The only benefit I receive is getting to partake in the work that the Lord is accomplishing here in Cambodia through PFK and New Life Fellowship. It’s not certain that I’ll ever get to experience or see the fruit of the work that we’ve been doing here, and that can sometimes be frustrating. However, we know that lives are being affected and the Holy Spirit is winning souls. This is our motivation and our heart’s desire, which is that every child in Cambodia would be won over by Jesus. We are called to fight the good fight and to run the race set before us full force. We are fighting for these children and for their souls. This has been my constant reminder as I’ve found myself eagerly anticipating the next season of life. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that these aren’t just faces, but souls that we’re sharing Jesus with. I’m reminded of a passage that we learned about in training from John 13, where Jesus washes the disciples feet. Jesus loved his disciples and the world until the end. I’m called to love until the end, without reserve and without hesitation.

Week Twenty-Three: 03/19-03/23

  Week Twenty-Three: 03/19-03/23   Leviticus 26:13 "I   am  the  Lord  your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that  you  should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.”              It’s easy to forget where you came from and how you got to the place you are. It’s easy to dwell on the past and lose sight of all that’s right in front of you. This week has been challenging for me because I’ve found myself wandering back to old thoughts; thoughts of fear and doubt. As we draw near to the ending of field time and preparations for the next season of life at home, I’m nervous. It’s slightly due to the fact that I have to face some old giants that I’ve put aside in my time here. Going home means working on broken relationships with my family and sharing the work that the Lord has done in and through me over this year. I’ve begun to think that maybe these giants are too big. Maybe they wont believe that I

Week Sixteen 01/29-02/02

Week Sixteen 01/29-02/02 John 15:5 “I am the vine and you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” This week the Lord has been teaching me what it means to abide in Him. To abide is to remain. By abiding in Christ, I am able to be an extension of love to those who have yet to know Him. I am His branch, a part of Him who is a resource for the blessing of those who are around me. By abiding in Christ I’m able to bear the fruits of the spirit, which are all encompassed in love. The fruit that a believer produces is an indication of whether or not he is actually serious in his relationship with Jesus. It’s sobering to know that I can’t do anything without Christ because I wouldn’t want to. I wouldn’t want to be going into the kid’s programs in my own strength and wisdom, not seeking the Lord. I wouldn’t want to teach in New Life School and hope to see improvement in behavior and academics, without asking th

09/04/2017 John 12:26 “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves me, My father will honor.” In the previous verses, Jesus begins to tell the disciples that His time had come to depart to the Father. In verse 24, Jesus states, “unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” Jesus is referring to His death and resurrection; His death would result in the salvation of many. By choosing to follow Jesus, we take on His death as well. We are to lose our lives in service in order that we may be witnesses for Him. When we serve others in the name of Jesus, we actually serve the Lord and God takes delight in that. Before coming here, I got involved with my church and we would serve in the community every other Saturday. We would be out by 8am and would spend the majority of our day doing the particular project for the day. I remember one Saturday being invite
