Just in case you’re not checking in on the Rapha House Team blog too, I want to point you to some highlights from Jessica’s great update:
“Yesterday we spent our day at Kid’s Club, which is a ministry run by Theara for children in her backyard. During their time there, they are able to play, share, and learn about God’s word. During our time there, we played with the children, read a Bible story, and helped them make their very own faith bracelets. The children got a huge kick out of our cameras, and they loved having their pictures taken. They were so precious–their smiles could light up an entire room, and once they came up to you to hold your hand and ask for your affection you knew that God was at work in their hearts and minds–that He was keeping them safe and happy in His loving embrace. It was wonderful to share that moment with them.”
Jessica goes on to describe the abject poverty they are witnessing, but least you feel it’s hopeless I thought Greg’s devotional story puts what these wonderful are doing in Cambodia into perspective:
“A man is walking on a beach when he notices a bunch of starfish washed ashore. The sun is out, and it’s a very hot day. The man knows the starfish don’t have a chance of surviving in the heat, yet he wishes that he could save them all. He continues his walk and sees a young boy throwing starfish into the sea one by one. The man asks the boy, ‘Why are you even trying? You will not make a difference, for you cannot save them all. They will die in the sun anyways…’ The young boy looks at the man, throws another starfish into the sea and says, ‘I just made all the difference for that one.’”

Mommy,
“I love you. I made a notepad holder–like yours–with stickers. But, it doesn’t have a pencil holder like yours. I need your help with that. I’ll see you when you get back.”
Love,
Rebecca
