"K'rome Bawltoewat Robah Khnome" My Soccer Team!

I started coaching a boys soccer team at a non-christian orphanage. It is through a christian organization called "SALT" which is apart of our YWAM ministries. This organization has 50 teams involved. All of the coaches are christians and this is a way that we can reach out to the youth through a game that they all love. We teach them the correct rules, leadership, integrity and so much more. We just started a youth party which is once a month at a different church each time. These players are coming to know God but jumping into a church is hard for them to do so we are trying to be a bridge between them coming to know Jesus and getting plugged into a church. I coach 18 players which range from ages 15 to 17 years old. We won our first game this past sunday, the score was 7- 1 which puts us in first place in the league. God has given me such a huge heart for these boys. Many of them come to our community gathering service on wednesdays. One of our staff named Sat told me yesterday that he wants to come to my practices and play and then he proceeded to tell me that he wants to be a good example to the younger boys as well as build relationships with them so that he can share Christ with them. I love the way that God moves and is apart of everything that we do. Here are a few pictures of some of my team, please look at their faces and pray that they come to know our Heavenly Father is a new and mighty way.

Chicken Sate and Peanut Sauce

At the Youth Center I have been teaching a couple of cooking classes. It is a popular class but has limited space for only 5 students and a translator and me. But resently I have five students, 2 translators and 2 of our base cooks have joined our class. It has been a wonderful way to get to know the students. Food always brings people together. The other day I had two of my students sing for our class, it was beautiful. They are also learning not only about cleanliness in the kitchen but also that you can cook without MSG, which is a huge step for them, as well as they are learning about presentation and are getting quite good at designing their plates. Please continue to pray for my relationship with them and that they will come to know Jesus.

Cambodia's Going Green

I started a recycling system on or base. For two reasons 1. For our environment and 2. To take away a hide out option for the rat infestation in our house.


In khmer and in english are signs for each recycling bin



Isn't it fun going Green

Sick Eye

Resently I got a horrible Eye infection. It swelled up and I finally was able to dig out the infection. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it does show the beginning of it. It is now healing. Praise God!

Creatively Cooking

This is one of the new cooking classes that I am teaching in the youth center at our base. There are 4 students, a translator and our cook Rachana, who is too old to be a student in our youth center, but I know how much she enjoys learning to cook new foods, so I let her also join.



I love that each bowl was decorated differently. Lately Rachana (our cook) has been decorating our meals. It is fun to see her put the teachings into pratice.



They made a Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup. And it was excellent!

Cooking Missionaries?????

This is one of my cooking classes that is held in the kitchen of a cafe called Fresh Eats. These are the women of the group the one on the far left is my translator. The tallest one is the cook for this cafe.



I have between 10 and 12 students. We are making cinnamon rolls without any brown sugar. It was still quite tasty.



These students come from an organization called Homeland. It is a non christian organization that helps street children and AIDS orphans and widows learn a skill so that they can start a business or get a job, so that they will survive.



I love this class and am excited to see what God will do through my relationship with these women and children. Please pray.

The DTS

Here is the DTS school on the night of the Love Feast. They all left the next day.


Please pray for this boy. He is one of Vatna's best friends from the DTS.

A DTS student passed away resently

Our DTS school ended this past friday on July 18th, just two days later a 20 year old, named Vatana drowned in a river near his house. He and a friend were swimming and both started to drown, they're friends came out to help them but were getting close to drowning as well, so Vatana selflessly pushed his friend to the ones that were trying to saved them and then drowned. This tragedy has been hard on the school and especially the students and staff. Vatana was a huge influence on all of our lives. He lived with so much passion and love for Jesus. He lived his life to reflect the image of God. And even though we are left behind to deal with the grief of losing such an amazing man of God, we know that he is in the place we all want to be with Our Father in Heaven. The woman that rasied him said that the last thing that he shared with her was that he wanted to do missions. Vatana loved to tell people about Jesus. In the last 15 minutes of his outreach he shared Jesus with two people and they decided to follow the Lord. Please continue to pray for his family, friend, the dts students and staff and especially the young man that was saved from the drowning. Thanks for all our your love and prayers.

Our house

This is the front of our house. I took it in three pictures because it is quite big. It was owned by a govenor in Cambodia and has been perfect for a base and youth center.

This is a view of the front of our house. Many come to play volleyball, basketball, pingpong and to take classes at our youth center. It is a great place to just hang out and love on these kids. About 600 come to our youth center and many have come to know the Lord.

Upstairs Living Room

This is where we hold our worship, prayer and intercession times. Steming off of this room is 4 rooms that house the girls.
