    Last Day at Rapha House and Exotic Food 

    Get the latest update from the Mission Team blog as Fred describes Church services with the Rapha House girls:

    “We began the day attending church at 8 AM. Randy introduced the team, we then sang (with much enthusiasm – so said our incredible tour guide and translator, Theara), and Randy gave the sermon. The sermon was based on the story of the Prodigal Son. Randy “”knocked it out of the park”, as he is always does when Grace is the topic. He would speak and then Sourm (the Cambodian Rapha House Director) would interpret. The Rapha House girls were very attentive and polite during the service and sermon and we were all quite impressed.”

    and sharing a meal full of America TV tunes:

    “The group of girls that John, Harvey, and myself sat with were a blast. They asked us to sing to them and we took full advantage of it, singing our favorite TV show tunes such as the Flintstones, Gilligan’s Island, and more!”

    Finally, check this post out for a few items of exotic Cambodian cuisine, not tasted!

      “I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me . . they’re cramming for their final exam.”

      Priceless! And like a good teacher, Jesus reminds us how “cramming for the final exam” may not get the job done: Mark 13:32-37

    Prayer and Words of Encouragement 

    Well, the team is checked-in and about to head to Cambodia. This blog is going to be Heather’s only communication back to all of you wonderful people who are praying and supporting her. She may or may not get the opportunity update it during the trip (there will definitely be updates, pictures, and videos after the trip).

    However, I know she would love to see all of your prayers, comments, and words of encouragement when she does check-in. Please hit the “Reply” link and leave a quick comment.

      Heather…missing you already, praying for you as well as your entire group. May God keep you all sheltered by His love and guidance. You are truly a phenomenal person, friend, mother and wife. How blessed I have been since God brought you into my life when we moved here. There won’t be a moment you are not thought of while you are gone. With much love, Holly

      Knowing that you will be removing children from a desperate and dangerous situation should help encourage and uplift you. Your mission may be only two weeks, but the impact on the children will last a lifetime. Godspeed.

      Good luck with everything, Heather! 82 degrees in Cambodia… I’m a bit jealous now I think ;) Your favorite liberal is very proud of you and your work! I’ll inform my mom of your mission and have her neo-catechumenal community keep you in their prayers!

      You are in our thoughts and prayers, Heather. What a wonderful work God has put on your heart!

      Thank you for helping heal the damage done as a result of the exploitation of children.
