Cambodia Here We Come

Yesterday, I got to go to "the property", which is a lot of land that the base bought to just repair a bit and then re-sell to make some money for the base, so it can do some improvements. They were guessing that the property will make them about 70 000 dollars. So, I got to go and help out with digging a trench for electrical stuff to be put in. We got a lot of work done. I am a little sore now, but nothing major. I actually enjoyed myself.
now I am back in the base getting ready to leave. I can't believe I am already leaving in less than 2 days for Cambodia. Its pretty crazy. I will be living there for 2 months, in the hottest part of the season, apparently its 40-45 degrees Celsius. But I am sure we will survive. It will be nice to get some warm weather, because right now in Australia it is actually quite cold. Maybe not as cold as Canada, but it is way to cold for Australia.
If you could think of our Cambodia team in your prayers, that would be awesome. God works powerfully through the people who pray. I should probably be going.

Possum Hunt

So I am in Airlie beach now, we arrived here on Sunday evening after a full day of driving. It wasn't that bad though because Chelsey, Jessica, and me pulled an all nighter. We decided to go on a possum hunt. It was such a great adventure. We had bait and a laundry basket as a trap. We didn't end up catching anything, but ended up with many good pictures. If I had a way of getting my pictures on to the computer, I would. THough I am greatly grieved to say that this is not possible and that you are not able to share in the enjoyment of our pictures.
Other than that I would like to thank all of you who have been praying for finances, as we have seen a good amount come in these last few days. We still have a little ways to go, so if you could continue to pray that all the money comes in on time that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your prayer support.
God bless

Outreach starts tomorrow

I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Two weeks ago we were in Byron bay having lectures on evangelism. It was such a cool week to see how God was moving through the churches in the area, as well as realizing on a new level how we are to be ambassadors of Christ everywhere we go.
this week we have been learning about world views, and then a biblical worldview. It was cool because we got to go on three fieldtrips. We went to a mosque, a Buddhist temple, and a Hindu temple and got to ask people who actually follow those religions what they believed, instead of always getting our information second hand. Then today we actually had our last lecture. Its wired to thing that as of Sunday we are leaving for Airily beach on our first part of our outreach. We are going there for a week, together as a school. After that, we will be parting ways and going to our different outreach locations.
I am so pumped to go to Cambodia. It is going to be so much fun, and it is going to be so cool to see God work through us. At the moment my outreach team still needs $4950 to pay all our outreach fees. So if you guys could pray that it all comes in on time that would be awesome. As well, as a whole, I think our school still has $20 000 to cover. I believe that our God will provide all the money, yet if you could press in with us, that would be greatly appreciated. Love you guys
God bless

Back from being our Road trip

Hey everyone. These last three weeks on the road were so good. The first week we went to stanthorp. We stayed on a farm in the country and it was so relaxing. It was a really nice place to meet with God, with no distractions from the city or internet. As well it was a really good time to get to know our group better. From there we moved on the Roma, its a small town. There we learned about surrender/Lordship and really got to see God move in healing of peoples pasts hurts. It was really encouraging to see how God worked through our prayers.
Then on to last week, we went to the island breeze base. There we had a conference called "Gods heart for the nations" it was really good. Our speaker was so funny and they had a whole bunch of different cultural dances. God really showed me that week, on a new level, how God has a reason for each people group and nation. Each culture has something to share of Gods character that no one else can bring to the table. God really did give me his heart for the nations, even more than before.

on top of all this awesome stuff that God did, I came back to the base to meet up with Mel and Paloma. Who had made their way to Brisbane on their backpacking trip. We spent a fun two days together before they went on their way. It was really nice to see friends from home. So that's what I have been up to lately. As well as getting prepared for going to Cambodia. We leave in less than a month. I can't believe how fast time goes.
