Hello,
This is Stephanie Hawkins writing to you from Thailand. I came from Portugal and met up with the team in Cambodia during the first week of the trip.
Altogether I think that this has been a great trip! We have experienced many things that we had never imagined possible, the work God is doing in so many lives and have learned a lot about a rich and beautiful culture, and also about its dark side and how the devil works to lead the lords sheep astray.

Right now we are in Waing pa pao, we spent the day yesterday working on the fence surrounding the orphanage to protect the children, and painting their kitchen, which is an outdoor building with three walls and a roof. We used oven pans to roll our paint rollers on and bamboo stick to make the handles longer. We also organized some games for the kids with the help of our friend Fa the “mother” of the children at the Grow Home. And last night we gave them their sponsors boxes along with four14 t-shirts and bracelets.

Its amazing to see the joy of the Lords love shining on these childrens' faces, knowing that just 6 months ago their had no one to turn to and had never hear the words Jesus or I love you, let alone both in the same sentence.
Thanks for praying for us and these wonderful children of God.
Steph*
