A good friend from Red Bridge wrote an article for the Christian Standard magazine. It’s about the missionary convention we went to back in November. Click here to view…

Quality Care
God bless the lawyer who came up with this sign, so prominently displayed between the ambulance bay and the trauma rooms at an ER near you!
If you’ve stumbled across this little blog, welcome! And just so you know, this picture has absolutely nothing to do with missions in Cambodia. However, it has everything to do with a little shout out to my peeps on The Hill…you know who you are!
Three Shifts Left!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
My how the season flies! I hope you’re fully enjoying this Christmas season and looking forward to the January exercise regimen. : – ) In any case, I just wanted to update ya’ll on our “status” and thank you for supporting us this far.
Start Up Costs = a whopping 77% raised
Monthly Budget = 41% pledged (our January, 2011 goal is 50%)
We’ve been so blessed by your prayers and encouragement. I often tell people that I did not think the fundraising part of this missionary venture would be so exciting and encouraging! Thank you! It’s been said that God is NEVER LATE but RARELY EARLY, and we’re sort of counting on that, especially now. So, if you’ve pondered partnering with us monthly, congratulations, you share something with God (the rarely early part, anyways). : – ) For more info on how to give, click on the Donate Now tab.
May the WHOLE world hear the good news that Jesus Christ was born…
all for ONE,
Jonathan T.
Confirming the Call – by Elizabeth
Here’s an excerpt from our November newsletter. To view the whole thing, check under the Newsletters tab…
Cambodia seemed like the logical place to go after I heard God’s call for missions. Team Expansion only sends missionaries to unreached people groups (less than 5% evangelical Christian), and Cambodia hit the mark with less than 2%. Plus, Christians aren’t violently persecuted there. Logical, right?
But I have become increasingly convinced that though it may be a difficult field, I must go where the beautiful, scandalous Cross of Christ has not been preached. The spirit of Buddhism and animism (ancestor worship) inhabit Cambodia; they are thickly oppressive. Nationals are resistant to Christianity both for reasons of culture (to be Cambodian is to be Buddhist) and religion (karma ensures that one’s sins are punished personally).
I had become so convinced of this calling that when Monte Cox, Harding University’s Dean of Bible and Religion, asked me “Why Cambodia?” in front of his freshman honors’ class, I didn’t hesitate to answer.
They have not heard, that is why.
