Hello everyone,
Today begins a long journey for our team. We welcome you to check on what's happening with our Asia team here. We will blog as often as possible and as long as the spotty Internet connections in those parts will allow us to.
We are excited to represent our church in this trip, especially because we will have the opportunity to hug the children that we have rescued in both Thailand and Cambodia. We realize that even though this is a tough trip that requires gobs of time and commitment on our part, it is also a TREMENDOUS PRIVILEGE to be able to do it.
Thank you for praying for our whole team. I am fighting a sinus infection right now. Uhgghhhh.... Saw my wonderful doctor yesterday (Dr. Fast) who gave me some antibiotics. Hesitantly, I started the regimen last night. I am praying that the meds will work or that God will cure me without the meds. Thanks for joining us in your prayers.
I am trying to finish last minute stuff before we left, but wanted to do this quick post to share our schedule with you. Please bear in mind that all times listed are local times in the city listed. Cambodia and Thailand are 12 hours ahead of us right now. We should be arriving in Phnom Penh, the Capital of Cambodia, on Thursday, 10 p.m. Wooster time, which will be Friday, 10:00 PP time, on January 22. But it won't make any difference because we won't know where we are by then! Later that day we drive to Battambang, the second largest city in Cambodia and will probably arrive there 9-10 p.m. on Friday (9-10 Friday morning in Wooster). Are you following all of that?
Okay, here is the schedule:
