A Step Into Destiny

I have made it a goal for me as much as I can to share my experiences as time allows. Right now, I am at a local internet cafe 10 minutes away from where we are staying in Battambang. After spending 3 days in the city of Phnom Penh, our team of 12 took a van 6 hours away to one of Cambodias little big cities Battambang. It is much smaller than the city, and has many villages in and around the area. As soon as we began to drive, and I saw the rice fields, and all the huts & businesses on the side of the road with mangoes and coconuts...It became reality. I am in Asia, and more than that, I am home. To me it is like discovering a whole new world that is my own, a language I can perfectly understand. I feel like It has been this huge hole in my heart that I have been missing this whole time, I truly feel I am discovering a whole new side of me. It is absolutely Gods annointing the language that has stayed with me, and that I can communicate and translate with everyone that I meet. It has been such a blessing, one that truly brings us together when we meet. I feel like I have known all these people for years, yet I had never met them!

 We are staying in  Pastors house, and the wife has been the base cook for YWAM for the last 8 years. Yesterday we walked home hand in hand and she talked about how she always wanted a daughter, but only had 2 boys. She began to just chat with me, and tell me how excited and blessed she was that I was here and could talk to her! It warmed my heart , and I know God has sent me to be in relationship with her! Her boys are 14, and 16.

Something that I love love love about this YWAM base is that the majority of staff and students are of the Khmer people. WOW, I have never seen so many young Cambodians on fire for God and that have a heart for their country before, it is amazing what God is doing in this Nation and what is happening!
I am so happy to be apart of the big plan that God has for this country.

Short and sweet! Our lunch is at 12:30, and we will be doing ministry in a village later with some children. Please continue praying for us!
