Our co-workers and friends that we are honored and privileged to work alongside of. A few weekends ago we had a time of fun and relaxing with our close friends. Thank you JESUS!

Hi friends, family and dear loved ones around the world! It is hard to believe that the first half of the year is almost over as it has been an eventful one for us here in Cambodia!

Here are a few highlights of what our family has been up to the last several months to keep you up-to-date:

-In May, we traveled up with 21 of our staff to Chiang Mai, Thailand, to attend the Call2All Congress as well as YWAM’s Asia-Pacific Region Staff Conference. For those that do not know what Call2All is, it is a worldwide movement calling the church to a renewed, focused collaborative effort to fulfill the Great Commission. There were hundreds of different ministries, church denominations, and missions organizations, including YWAM, that were represented at the conference with 1600 attendees. Through this week of our staff were energized, filled with new faith, and talking more about the completion of how we can do our part in the completion of the Great Commission!

-At the beginning of June, we celebrated with all of our staff and students the completion of the filling of dirt on our campus project. We played games, worshipped Jesus, ate delicious bbq and most importantly remembered all that Jesus had done and provided.

Garth continues to use his gift of teaching to train up leaders and the students that come through our training programs. So far this year, he’s taught in 2 Discipleship Training Schools in Australia, 2 DTS’s in Cambodia, our Battambang Phase 2 Staff internship school, our Battambang School of Biblical Studies, 1 DTS in Taiwan, 1 DTS in Hawaii, and 1 DTS from Vietnam. It has been a privilege for him to serve in that capacity by teaching and training up future leaders and has been a busy several months as you can see!

Lyla is now 20 months old and loves when we read books to her, play hide and go seek, and eat rice(it’s a good thing we live in Cambodia where rice is the essential part of meals!).

THE BIGGEST AND MOST EXCITING NEWS OF ALL! We are EXPECTING another addition in our family end of November 2013! We feel very blessed and excited for another addition and a sibling for Lyla and look forward to meeting him/her in November!

Celebrating the fact that we'll soon be a family of 4!

– We cannot express and say enough how THANKFUL we are for all of you in our lives, for your prayers and support for our family and the ministry here in Cambodia! Thank you for your sacrificial and generous donations as well as your continual prayers, investing into the country we love so dearly!

Thank you Jesus for all that you've blessed us with  and for the privilege of serving you as a family!
