Off We Go!

Kristen and I are traveling to Cambodia to visit the orphanage from February 11th - 23rd. We are really looking forward to seeing all of the staff and children at Heritage House in Kampot, to meeting the new members of Hosanna Church Cambodia and to seeing old friends in Phnom Penh.

We did not intend to visit again before we move back in the fall of this year, but the Heritage House staff and children kept asking and God provided the funds for us to be able to do it at this time. It is great for Kristen to get to see Kampot before we move there. During our first move to Cambodia in 2002, she moved sight unseen. She claims this was the best way for the Lord to get her there. I say, she is an amazing woman who is willing to follow Jesus anywhere regardless of the living situation.

We have 20 hours of layovers, 26 hours of flight time, cross the international date line and arrive in Phnom Penh at midnight to spend the night and take a four hour bus ride the next day to get to Kampot. So, we leave for Kampot on Wednesday but do not arrive there until Saturday. Pray for the trip!

Speaking of prayer, we have a prayer list on our website:

We will do our best to keep everyone updated on the trip as we go along. We will certainly miss our boys while we are gone. They are staying with friends and grandparents until we return. We trust that they will be refreshed and encourged during our time away.
