I think that I am using the worst keyboard and computer to be connected to the internet in Cambodia, so I am going to keep this fairly short.... things in Cambodia are going great... like the title of this email, however, they are extremely varied. In the last few days we have helped to open a new orphanage in Cambodia... It is so great (yet sad) to have so many of these new children. I met several new children, including a girl named Haing (the best spelling I can come up with), who is five years old. She is such a cute kid, and full of spunk, but dad was killed by a gun at some point, and mom fell off of a house and died, leaving her with family that didn't really want her... another beautiful child, discarded by this society yet chosen by God to live at the orphanage... there will be more children coming soon... one problem that has become apparent very quickly at this new orphanage, is that there is very, very little room for the children to play. Please pray that these growing, young children will have some place to run and play.
We had a graduation party for the college students that have graduated, or will be graduating in the next six months or so... we had a fantastic time encouraging them, praying for them, taking pictures, eating cake... it was so fun to see old friends as well that live in other places aside from the Asia's Hope Student Center... we got to find out what they are doing and were God is leading them.
Today some of us have gone to see the ancient ruins of the Khmer culture called Angkor Wat... it is an amazing tribute to their culture, and yet sad because it is bound in such mysticism, fear, and ignorance of the true God.
We have also been having a good time at the Christian School... evaluating the new facility, thinking about how we can help them improve it. I hope to write more 'meditative' thoughts in the near future, but until then, May God Bless you. Graham
