Anglong Veng

Whew. What a whirlwind the last few days have been. I’ll have to add up all the kilometers of travel. How many kilometers of dirt and muddy roads? How many wooden and weathered bridges? How many hectors of jungle forest? How many muddy trails on the back of a dirt bike? I do not know but the people we met on the way were so welcoming and gracious, I am truly humbled. We drove all day to get near the last church building we helped dedicate yesterday. It is the first we’ve built on stilts. The area is very remote and floods so it was built about 6-8 feet off the ground. I’ll attached photos when I get back in the states. The church is fortunate because the Red Cross placed a high quality well with pump right next to the property. I have so enjoyed the time here teaching and sharing life together with these dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I was handed two letters of thanks from church leaders. In their words, they were “blessed” and were “inspired” by the “passionate” teaching they received. They sent gracious prayers and thankfulness and blessing to you all who are connected to this work. Thank you for your dedication to the kingdom of God and the beautiful people here in Cambodia.
