Leaving Sihanoukville

Tomorrow morning we will be leaving Sihanoukville to head back to Phnom Penh. Our time here has been amazing. We've really left an impact on everyone we've met from the kids at the orphanage, to the teachers and the school, to the staff at our hotel, to people on the street, and many more. God really used us to encourage the Christians here and to love on the kids. We got to pray for healing many times and share God's Word daily. Right now we are waiting for the school to put on a dance for us. They are finishing an hour early today to have time for it. And tonight we will have a dinner party with the orphanage, then worship with them, and then we have to say goodbye. It is so hard to leave kids who are so used to people coming and leaving. I think they have a hard time understanding how people can love them when they come and go. Please pray that they would fully understand God's love and how he will never leave them.

Tomorrow we will take a 4-5 hour bus ride back to Phnom Penh. Tomorrow night we will get some pizza and ice cream. Friday we will be taking the team to visit a dump where kids live in Phnom Penh. We will be bringing food to them. I hear it's really hard to see and will probably break our hearts. Pray for strength and that we don't get overwhelmed by how much need we see. Saturday night we will fly to Bangkok where we will spend 3 nights before flying to Phuket on January 20th. We will get to meet up with another all girls outreach team there for a little mid-outreach hangout and celebration of what God has done so far.

  1. We are praising God for the work He has accomplished thru' you *&* in you! And, we are praying with you for the next leg of your journey. ...Including praying for your legs on that ride back to Ph-P! :O)

    Per your request we are praying that "you will be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man" (Eph. 3) as you "share in the fellowship of His sufferings" (Phip. 3) at the dump & elsewhere.

    You're all in our hearts & in His hands.

    XOXOXO to Isaac w/ a little extra OOO.
