February 2015 Update

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:

Some of our staff that went to the YWAM DNA conference with our family in Chiang Mai, Thialand, which we learned more about our history, values, and DNA of YWAM

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!

Over our Christmas break, we were able to climb a local hill with some of our friends and have a picnic lunch there.

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.
