Day 2

I know you've all been waiting anxiously just as I have.  Finally we know they made it there safe and sound.  I didn't get much text with the pictures so I'll try and put this together.

I received this email at 4:00 am this friday morning.  They are in Phnom Pen, the team will be visiting the Garbage Dumpsite with 100 children and doing a program for 200 children in Kaden Kow.

This pictures was taken at the airport in Kzoo.

Remember the team had 500 salvation bracelets and several hundred bags of candy to put together.  Julie is packing all the bracelets.  She is the missionary that the team met up with when they got there.  She is the one who put their schedule together.

This is an incredible picture!  Can you imagine living here?   The smell must be horrid in that 100 degree weather.

Looks like those salvation plan bracelets... were a big hit. (makes me wish I was there!)

This is the team doing a skit of the Unmerciful Servant a message on forgiveness.

Kids Worshiping.  The team taught them 2 songs.

I'm gonna clap my hands & I like God

Kids received their bag of candy and a small toy.  They also received a meal.

This pictures is taken at the Church youth service.

How exciting!  Remember to keep them in your prayers daily for strength and protection. Don't forget to pray for all the children a families that are hearing the Word of God, some for the very first time.  Hopefully we get more photos tomorrow!

16 Suit cases

Packed and ready to go.  A total of 16 suit cases at 50 lbs. each full of toys and candy.

Thank you AJ!

AJ wanted to go trigger treating twice because he wanted to go with his cousin Jacob.  His mother told him if he went the second time he should give his half of his candy to the children in Camdodia.  Here's AJ, one for me, one for Camdodia. 

Toys...Toys... and more Toys!

The Lord has supplied abundantly!

Brian's say's we've got "Hot Wheels" in every color and size.

Denice is counting Jump Ropes with Balls & Jacks attached there were 135 sets.

Rhonda & Debbie counting Beenie Babies.  We had several people donate their collections to the children.

Pastor Davis say's I think this one is shy about 10 lbs.  Find some more toys.

Salvation Bracelets

We are going to present the gospel to these children using the salvation bracelet.  The Living Word Church of God made 500 bracelets for us to take.

 

Black - sin is what separates us from God when we choose to disobey. 

Red - Jesus died for our sins, the blood of Christ.  He paid the penalty for our sins.

White - when we become a Christian, God cleanses us from all sin and washes us whiter than snow.

Blue - one of our first acts of obedience is to publicly confess our faith through baptism.

Green - we must grow as a believer in all areas of our life, looking at Jesus as our example.

Clear - we are made pure through forgiveness of sin, we are made clean.

How to make Peanut Brittle...

First you gotta Stir IT, you Stir IT!

Then you gotta Pour IT, you Pour IT!

Then you gotta Wipe IT, you Wipe IT!

Then you gotta Sell It, you Sell IT!

We are nearing the end of our fundraising.  This is our last bake sale at Harding's Grocery Store in which we made $300.00

 

We purchased 30 lbs. of peanuts to make peanut brittle and were finally down to 10 lbs.  That really kept us hopping, but the sales were great.  The money is still coming in from different people who have heard about the project to Cambodia and we couldn't have done it without you.

The Nurse is In

Thanks Carol for making us all smile during our shots!  We received a Typhoid shot.

Don't worry Pastor & Sister Davis, it will only hurt for a minute.

Don't cry Pastor you'll be ok.

We can scratch "shots" off the list of things to do.

Were off in 27 day!

As you well know, the team has been established, funds are coming in, toys and candy are being collected, shots are being distributed (ouch), and the list goes on.

Mom (Sister Davis) has asked me to blog about their trip to Camboda.  She will send me via email, photos and priceless information.  This site is designed for Living Word Church of God, family members and friends to keep you updated.  And to ask that you pray for Pastor Davis (Dad) and the team.

The team is still looking for items to take to the children.  Please keep your eyes open for clarence items.  Stuff that is small, children friendly and that will fit into zip lock bags.
