Day 0

Today is a day of introduction and settling down. But i am so tired already... haha :) The weather here is really hot, the air is super polluted and crossing the roads is a challenge for us :) hahah.... The food so far is good! :) We had lunch and dinner at chinese restaurants. The food dun look so appealing but it is tasty :)

Today we went to the khmer rouge museum whereby it reflects the tortures the people went through in 1975. It isnt the first time that i am exposed to such things. Did research on WWII during my Secondary sch days and was quite shocked by the torture then. Some thots however still lingered in my mind: Why man can be so cruel? The extent of men's cruelty is beyond what i can understand. How can they ever do such things to their own kind?

Before coming here, i felt that the cambodians were really very pitiful esp after understanding their history and background and because of this, i would feel for them and felt that they really really need God. But today as i was visiting the museum, victims of WWII and the jews came to my mind. In actual fact, the cambodians are no different from other civil war victims. Everyone needs God and Christ is for everyone regardless of their background or 'sufferings'. Regardless of what circumstances or background, Christ represents salvation and hope and it is only in Christ that we can find salvation and hope :)

There are changes to our program and more workshops and sharing to be conducted. So now all of us are busy preparing now ;)In the next few days we will be super busy with 3 workshops a day but i am excited and anticipating to interact with the people and see how God can use me. It is not just about running the program or conducting workshops but it is about transformed lives. How as we touched their lives in little ways and plant different little seeds in them, their hearts, minds and lives are transformed by Christ and these seeds will be passed on to many others in the future.

Grateful to God for this opportunity to be here to bless the people and be part of what God is doing and wants to do here in Cambodia. So continue to pray for us, that God will strengthen us in every aspect. Thanks for for comin to send us off!
