This is Sunday morning youth group. Some of these pictures have been included in newsletters, however I wanted to have them also in a central location, so that they can be viewed easily.A recent picture of my gorgeous wife. We're only 2 months out from meeting our baby boy Caleb!!Our new ministry partner!!! Rachael is looking to come back and start doing ministry with us in March. Please be praying for her, this is a big step to take.A few weeks ago my brother in law led a youth concert in whihc we combined the youth of 2 churches to worship God together. One of the biggest problems we have in Cambodia is there is no church unity. So to see 2 different Christian churches from 2 different denominations come together was wonderful.A Picture of our introduction to English class with the short term missions team we had back in September.I was trying to imitate the monkey, but I think I offended him....yea, I wonder the same thing, why did she marry you? (another picture of the zoo trip)Back in September my wife and I arranged a giant venturewith many of the youth to go play at the zoo. We had a great time.The cutest thing ever, begging otters.......A fellowship time we hosted at our house with some of the students.A typical Sunday service. Please if anyone fill led, we have run out of Bibles in the Cambodian language and need to purchase more. One full Bible (Old & New Testament) is $5, just under the average daily salary for a Cambodian....far too expensive.This is my wife's sunday evening bible study. Please be praying for our newer Christians, all of their families are Buddhist and their families are not accepting of this new relationship with Jesus their children have found.Back in September we had VES (Vacation English School). The students had summer vacation so we had English full time. We used many tools to try and teach them; dance, art, bible studies, games, small group conversation and many more. It was a great sucess and I think I will run it every year.Our youth learning to praise God through dance.My wife and I made baptism certificates for each person who got baptized. Somthing to hang and remind them of their relationship with Jesus in their parent's house which is full of Buddhist idols.All of our members at a baptism ceremony a few months back.One of the baptisms we had a few months back. There is not much greater than getting the honor of baptizing someone.
The youth who got baptized last time. Be praying for the next batch as we will soon be having another baptismal ceremony.Our finished outdoor baptismal. If we tried this in Oregon, not many people would get baptized... :)Preparing, cleaning and painting the baptismal for all the use it's going to get :)
