Here is a really good video that Zondervan has put out to advertise for two great books that you need to read to understand what I do a little bit better. I like the concept here that the New Testament Church was actually a multisite church. Interesting.
We have found that we are averaging almost 1000 people each weekend in our multisite campuses after only two short years. It is really cool to be a part of a church, Forest Park, that truly cares about reaching people for Christ! Some churches talk a good game, but Forest Park is trying to put our talk into action by sacrificing some of what we like and want so that others outside of the church might find Christ!
Keep praying for the team for their last day of clinic before coming home on Friday! They will be flying home at 11 a.m. Friday at CST.
Hey All
We had another good day in the Village. It was Hot again, but not near as bad as Tuesday.
We all pretty much performed the same tasks as the other days. We did have some good questions during our gospel presentation which was very encouraging. It is a long process for a Budhist or a Muslim to convert to Christianity, but some of the questions showed that God is at work.
Today we shared the gospel with the children using the colored bracelet (black=sin, red=Jesus’ blood, white=forgiven, blue=baptism, green=grow and gold=heaven). The children were very attentive and it was fun to share with them.
This morning Rhet, the man I asked you to pray for yesterday, attended our devotional time. The Gospel was presented in a very clear way and we prayed for him and his wife. I think he has tremendous potential to be a great leader and look forward to the day that he surrenders his life to Christ.
Tomorrow we will work until noon and then make our way back to Phnom Penh. We fly out at 11pm our time (11am Joplin time). I doubt I will have the opportunity to write again, so keep us in your prayers as we travel back home.
God has been good and it has been a blessing to serve Him here in Cambodia.

Keep praying for our medical team in Cambodia! They are 12 hours ahead of us, so it is Thursday morning!
Hey All
Thanks for your prayers, we had a great day. It started off by being cloudy and breezy. It was still pretty warm, but not unbearably HOT like yesterday.
When we arrived at the clinic we were told of a young lady that was possibly having a miscarriage. So, Dr. Kit and I went to see her. (I know, I was thinking the same thing. Take the guy with not medical experience when you have two nurses and Doctor?!?!?!?!?) He decided that she was having complications from a previous miscarrieage and that she wasn’t pregnant. She did need IV fluids and to be taken to the hospital. Terry came to give her the IV, she told me to pray because she hadn’t done that in over 20 years. God was good and Terry was able to get the IV in quickly. We later found out that she is the wife of one of our translators. Neither of them are believers, but he has been asking many questions. We stopped by to see them this evening at the hospital and they were shocked that we would take the time to stop by. Please pray that God would use this time to draw them both into His Kingdom. His name is Reth and I don’t remember her name.
After the excitement of the morning the day was pretty routine. We all continued doing the same jobs as yesterday. We saw around 130 patients today.
Tonight, we had a treat for dinner. We had home-made French fries with our sweet-and-sour chicken, water melon, and rice. All in all our meals have been pretty good, but the fries brought a smile to everyone’s face.
God is at work and we are glad to be part of what HE is doing.
