Dear Tweed,
|
God is doing amazing things here at EFC-SW that can use a blanket of prayer!
Scott and Andrea Sward have arrived in Cambodia! It has been a long and hard year for them, but God has continued to give them a vision for reaching southeast Asia and they have listened to His voice. Praise God!
Additionally, Micah Hillis has agreed to go as a "Servant" to Cambodia, working with DJ Colfax as he home-schools. Please pray for him as he leaves on September 24 to start his year-long journey.
Our new missionary family, Fede and Diane Hernandez plan to be in California for church visitation starting in mid-October.

Levi is a young man from a village near Pray
Svay, the oldest boy amongst 7 children--all sisters. As the only boy, he has a lot of
responsibility to provide for his family.
He worked hard in school, was able to graduate, and even found a way to
get himself into college in Battambang City... click for more |
Michelle Murray - Phnom Penh

This year marked the 6th
Annual Youth Camp. It was bittersweet
for me. Ultimately, my job is to work myself
out of a job. We made a huge step in
this process. The National Youth Council planned,
budgeted, organized and taught at the retreat.
My role was relegated to preaching the opening night and sitting in the
back being pround of the amazing job they were doing... click for more |

We have been working with a Christian Cambodian/Vietnamese
Primary School and Community Outreach project. In the past month, it was
discovered that a man from a local gang family has molested several of the
children. Because of corruption, calling the police is not an option... click for more |

August
was a busy month for us visiting with family and some churches here on the east
coast. A Hispanic church in Newark, NJ invited us to
share about our call to missions and the work going on in Cambodia. The Sunday we spent with that congregation was a true blessing for our whole
family. Our own church family here in Allentown, PA
has been a great encouragement as well... click for more |

There are many exciting things going on this summer in and through our Mission in Cambodia! Many Short Term Ministry teams have gone to serve and catch a vision for Southeast Asia. Have you gone yet? Have you sent your Pastor? (See the Kingdom Journey link).
Also, you may have heard that along with the Swards, we have a NEW Missionary family preparing to go to the field! Fede and Diane Hernandez are now "official" and doing all their pre-field preparation. They hope to be in California for church visitation starting in mid-September. Be sure and read their link and pray for them as they embark on this adventurous journey.

 In January of 2009, a medical team came to Cambodia.They were very helpful in making contact into different communities. Since then we have continued to do some follow up. One woman the doctors examined was diagnosed with cancer. They took her aside and explained her diagnosis. The Gospel was also presented to her and she accepted the Lord... click for more |

 The global economic crisis affects us even here in Cambodia. With a shortage of jobs comes a rise in corruption. The police want money for just about everything. Many of the young men from our church do not have work, and are starting to get desperate for money for basic necessities. Rithy is a young man who was approached by another Christian organization... click for more |

 Last month we asked you to pray for some Khmer women from church as they visited the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum. They did very well. The Genocide museum includes many pictures of people who died at Toul Sleng. One of the ladies mainly looked for a picture of her brother who died at the facility. About halfway through the tour... click for more |

 Guess what?? We have a target date! We are now very hopefully aiming to leave for Cambodia, September 1st! While everything is not totally settled, we believe three more months should give us enough time to wrap business up here. This spring, I (Andrea) had my last surgery!! The remaining hardware was taken out of my shoulder. .. click for more |
