Hello,
family and friends!
Just wanted to send a quick update on how life is going in Cambodia! We are so grateful for each and every one of you who are supporting us prayerfully and financially! It is because of you that we are able to do what we are doing here in Cambodia.
Celebrations:
- We have finished studying The Pentateuch! The first 5 books of the Bible(the Pentateuch) lay a foundation for the rest of the Bible! The Pentateuch has completely changed our view of the New Testament, and we believe it is so vital to the foundation of our faith.
- Roberta is loving her work at Cafe Eden, training/working with at risk youth.
- Our relationships with the Cambodian people through our studying and work in the community constantly point to the great work that God is doing here in Cambodia. One of the students of our school was previously a slave in Malaysia before God had given her freedom. She is a great woman of faith, and is studying this Bible School in order that she can go plant churches in remote villages. This is just one testimony of the great work that God is doing through the Cambodian people. God is bringing Cambodians to Christ everyday and creating disciples that will change nation!

Prayer Requests:
- Finances - We are still waiting for $800 to come in to completely cover our plane ticket home! Our flight schedule will be long, full, and expensive come our time when we leave in June. Please continue to pray and consider for this need to be met financially.
- Safety! - Please be praying for our safety during travels(roads and cars and motorcycles here are crazy!), and also in our home! Last week, a thief managed to break into the YWAM house next door. He managed to only get into one room, but still a little scary!
- Health - Roberta is just getting over a week long bug in her belly that caused her some pain and discomfort. She took antibiotics and that helped remove it, and we have taken some worm medicine as a precaution! Please continue to pray for our health!

Whats to come:
- SBS - We have finished the Pentateuch so up next is the History Books (Joshua - 2 Chronicles). We are super excited to know God better and study some fun stories along the way.
- Upcoming Summer - Toward the end of June we will make our way back to the States! We plan to spend 1-2 weeks on the East Coast in New York/Pennsylvania for a dear friends Wedding and visiting YWAM NY. Then we plan to spend 1-2 Weeks in California visiting Roberta’s family and another wedding! Followed by our arrival back in Washington by early July.
Thank YOU.
Roberta and I are praying through and solidifying our plans for after our time in Cambodia. Stay tuned for some exciting updates about where God is taking us as a couple as we seek to serve him and his kingdom! We are so blessed by all of your love and support. No words can describe how incredibly grateful we are. Thank you for all your support, love, and prayers!
Love,
Johno and Roberta
