Well part of our team has left us. Shane Lilly and David Butler just got in a taxi heading to Phnom Penh. They have a really long trip ahead of them - four hour taxi ride to Phnom Penh, one hour flight to Bangkok, eight hour layover, six hour flight to Seoul, seven hour lay over, eleven hour flight to LA, four hour lay over, five hour flight to DC and then a three hour drive back to Fishersville, VA. Please pray for them!
Both of them were a tremendous blessing to the team. They painted a huge amount of the house, David lead the crew putting up the clothes line, Shane led devotions several days and they both were true examples of servants. The Heritage House kids prayed over them before they left and it was a great time.
Sarah, Matt and me (Lewis) are all back to normal, but now Robert is feeling a bit under the weather. This climate, the food, the jet lag, etc can all wear your body down.
We had a great prayer time at Vutha and Pheakadey's house yesterday. We also went to the school where most of the Heritage House children will be going and had a prayer time. This afternoon we will be going to the market to pray for the economy of the city and for righteous business owners to arise.
Thank you to everyone who is responding to the blog. I do not have time to respond back, but truly appreciate your prayers for the team and Heritage House. We also appreciate Sheila Atchley being persecuted and standing for Light of Heaven to shine in this dark country.

What a blessing to be surrounded by so many christians who were/are willing to be persecuted. So many of us are content to just sit at home. But, you and I both know - if God calls you - you Must go. Keep up the great work. Sounds like you're doing a marvelous job of keeping the team encouraged and getting the work done! I have prayed for supernatural strength for you and your team. We know God has a great purpose for the people there! Love & Prayers, Ruthie
Lewis, you make me laugh out loud! Me...persecuted. Wipe that smirk off your face, my friend!
*grin*
