Preparing for The Third Quarter of SBS

What an awesome privilege to see our sister
grow so much in her DTS!

Hi family and friends!

Roberta and I are coming into our last 3 months here in Cambodia; it has been filled with God's grace, love, and revelation thus far. Here is a few things that have been happening!

Sarah in Cambodia – It has been has been an absolute pleasure and blessing to watch my sister go through her Discipleship Training School here in Cambodia. Roberta and I had the privilege of praying for her and her team as they headed off to bring the gospel to another part of Cambodia and later, to the Burmese people. Please continue to pray for her that she would find her place in spreading the gospel across this awesome world.

Nations to Nations - Last week, our base, here in Battambang, Cambodia, hosted a conference that's focus was on the gospel being spread all over the earth! We had 42 different nations represented here, and it was a beautiful picture of what heaven will one day be like. The week was filled with teaching, worship, culture celebration events, and networking with all the focus on God's great commission going forth. I, John, got to see one of my good friends from a course I took in Norway and Sweden in 2006. Here's a video of our Cambodian staff and students singing, "How Great is Our God."

SBS - We have been in full swing with our study of the bible! These last few months we went through the Pentateuch and each historical book in the Old Testament. We have slowly begun our intro to the prophets. Week after week we are studying the word of God and how it applies to our lives today, it is very hard work but we know it's vital to our Christian walk and life in missions. Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers through this time!

Culture - The Cambodian culture is one of great hospitality, love and warmth. We have so much to learn and are still learning daily. It is the "hot" season, with temperatures at between 100-107° on average with high humidity always. Please continue praying for us as living overseas and immersion in culture isn't an easy transition, and challenges us daily.

Thank you so much for all your prayers, love and support! Here are some recent photos of life here in Cambodia!
