I preached this morn­ing, with Lydia’s help, on “What it means to be a Chris­t­ian”. Over the past two weeks, Johnny (to Lydia’s right) has repaired our water line and auto­mo­bile. Because of his faith in Christ, Johnny’s par­ents do not want him to come home. The 11-yr. old (left) lives at the church because he wants to follow Jesus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a cor­ner of our 20 sq meter tile cov­ered “front yard” where a bit of soil cov­ers a water line, hibis­cus, roses and a flow­er­ing tree brighten the morn­ing before we nav­i­gate the over-crowded dusty roads to and from HOPE Inter­na­tional School.

“We’re broke, starved and dis­eased! Hurry home, Dad.” Such was the e-mail I received from my over-dramatic son dur­ing a recent visit to Cony­ers, GA where I attended my home church’s mis­sion con­fer­ence. Actu­ally, Grace and the chil­dren were fine.  Thanks to a won­der­ful pro­vi­sion of cloth­ing, vit­a­mins and other much needed items by First Bap­tist Church of Atlanta, I returned to Cam­bo­dia with birth­day presents for Josiah and Christi and gifts for Daniel and Grace. The chal­lenges of mis­sion life are glo­ri­ously off­set by timely love gifts and fruit that lasts eter­nally!
