Hi friends and family!
We pray that the end of 2014 was a great one and that you are highly anticipating what lies ahead this new year. It’s hard to believe that it’s already 2015 and we’ve had a jam-packed beginning of the year! Here are some pictures to update you on what we’ve been up to:
Community Light Church small groups meeting together once a month for church fellowship. Garth leads a small group every week of young men, some believers already and some seeking to find answers about who Jesus is.
Our friend and co-worker Rady sharing a Christmas message at the Christmas fellowship for Community Light Church
A group of our staff and our family went to the YWAM DNA conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which we learned more about our history, values, and “DNA” of YWAM, led by our co-founders Loren and Darlene Cunningham. It was truly a refreshing, challenging, and faith-building time for us all!
Young boys that we reach out to in a local village, singing worship to Jesus! Praise God for them knowing who Jesus is at a young age.
Our January 2015 DTS Staff and students. This is our 12th DTS we are running in Battambang.

Our favorite little SeaHawk
Lyla Nancy, 3 years old, loves to sing, dance, go to school and play with her “Buddy Gunner” as she affectionately calls him.
Over our Christmas break, we were able to climb a local hill with some of our friends and have a picnic lunch there.

Recent Worship and Intercession time at our new campus!
The fence around the perimeter of our new campus is done! Praise God for the amazing work and progress of our future ministry location!
Prayer Requests:
1)In the next 6 weeks, Garth has many opportunities to teach, locally(Battambang, Cambodia) and internationally(Singapore, a nearby closed-to-the Gospel country, and Australia). Please pray that he will have the strength and wisdom to know how to teach the different topics/books of the Bible that he has the privilege of teaching and training others.
2) Please pray for a continual culture of disciple in our community, so that we can be equipped to reach out to those who need Jesus here.
3) Please for for safety, protection, health, and wisdom for all our 75 staff.
4) Please pray for the finances to continue to come in for our campus building development, as we are still trusting in faith that the Lord will provide all the finances for us to build a campus to be used for His glory!
*** We plan on taking a break as a family this spring in the States, so hope to see you then! Thankful that the Lord has allowed us this special time to rest and get refreshed so that we can continue to be effective to do our work in Cambodia.
We love you all and thank you all for the endless support you’ve shown our family these past almost 10 years(for Garth) serving in full time missions in Cambodia and all over the world. What a beautiful thing to have such a diverse global fellowship to call family.
