CAMBODIA TRIP BLOG POST #3
We are waiting in the Phnom Penh airport for our departing flight from Cambodia as this is being written. What a fantastic end to our week! On Thursday, we successfully completed English assessments for the Bileg orphans and then fed nearly 60 kids at the Manna Center outside Kampong Thom. These kids would live on plain rice alone were it not for supplemental nourishment provided four days each week by the Solid Rock Baptist Church and SERV International. We conducted a devotional before lunch and asked the kids to raise their hand if they knew Jesus…and every hand went up!
Today, Friday, the team was back in the capitol city of Phnom Penh, and spent much of our last day helping drill and instruct budding Cambodian baseball players. His Excellency, Thavy Nehm a provincial governor and member of Parliament has introduced baseball in Cambodian schools. A number of Christian organizations are using baseball training and competition to introduce players to the person of Jesus. David Delk made a baseball-centered gospel presentation to nearly 104 players and saw about 35 accept Jesus as Lord right there on the field!
Thank you for your love, support, and prayers this week! Please pray for safe travel home for the team, and that the seeds we planted for The Kingdom this week in Cambodia will grow and multiply.
Blessings to you all!
