Letter

Dear Family & friends:
            As many of you know, the last couple of years have been a big change in my life. God allowed me to be more close to Him than ever possible. I have been blessed immensely in my spiritual life and academic life.  God has been teaching a lot about Him and His love for the world. In Mark 16:15, Jesus tells his disciples, "Go into the entire world and preach the good news to all creation.” God’s plan is much bigger and greater than me and His grace allows us to join Him in this incredible plan. Since my last trip to Cambodia in the summer 2011, God put in my heart  to back there and serve people through teaching.
            You may be wondering, “why Cambodia?” and most importantly “where is Cambodia?” Cambodia is a small country in Southeast Asia. Cambodia is bordered by Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Cambodia is a country that is open & friendly, but at the same time it is full of spiritual darkness. There is only about 2% of Christians in the entire country, and there is a very heavy Buddhist influence and many who do not practice any religion. In many places in Cambodia people live on only a couple dollars a day, because it is a developing country that deals with poverty, child malnutrition and human trafficking. God has been and will continue to do His work in Cambodia because of His amazing grace and love for all people.
I will be a teaching at an international school and I will be teaching Math and Science , also helping with information technology.  I would also working with an orphanage in Phnom Penh named Haley's House. I would also be working with a group there to prevent human/sex trafficking and education of the kids in the neighborhood. This also allows me to connect and build relationships with people I teach and live around. This will open up doors to share the Gospel with people and show Jesus’ love to them.
I am inviting you to consider supporting me in two different ways. The first, and most important, is prayer. Prayer is vital because Cambodia is a whole new culture and language for me to dive into. Also praying for God to speak to the hearts of the Cambodian people and work in their lives. I also ask you to consider supporting me financially to be able to do God’s work in Cambodia. Please think about giving a onetime gift. Could you join me by committing to give $25, $50, $75, or $100 or any amount you can?  I would love to hear from you and I am grateful for the ways you are willing to join me in this adventure.
                     In Christ’s Love,
