Saying Goodbye

Well we are packed out! Yep, it took 20+ people only 2 1/2 hours to pack out our house here in Denver. What a blessing it was to have so much help. Many stayed behind to help clean as well and so we were completley out by 4pm! We are staying in the basement of the Spragues who are in our small group until the 11th of May. I have leadership meetings all week coming up and we still have 2 cars to sell.
We have not really been able to slow down enough to really feel the impact yet of leaving but have felt some pockets of sadness. I think when we get on the plane out of here that we will feel it most.
Pictured left are the kids with their favorite babysitter, Kerith Schroeder. 

Back from Cambodia/Thailand

Pictured right is me with my study group in Phnom Penh. We turned a hotel room into a classroom where I taught bible study methods and studied the faith of the centurion in Luke 7. These officers are very hungry and we had a very lively discussion.

These men continue to indicate that the open door in Cambodia may be closing. Please pray for these men as they make a stand for their faith.



Pictured below is a retired Col. who has been hospitalized for stomach cancer and is recovering from surgery to removed a blocked passage. This man has led many officers to the Lord in the last year. They have a cooking stove in the room that his wife uses to make food for him. No air conditioning. I found myself vowing to not complain about western medical care ever again. Plese pray for his recovery.


Support Update: We only have $337 a monthly pledges left to go and $3500 in start-up. What an amazing God we have.

You all are very dear to us and we continue to be thankful to you for being our friends and allowing us to represent you in SE Asia.

On my way

Made it to Tokyo so far and one hour ahead of schedule! Great chance to study on the flight over for a couple of teaching times I will be doing in Cambodia. Wanted to ask those of so inclined to be praying for Sandra and the kids as I am away these two weeks.

not SOLD

With very little in the way of an explanation the people who contracted with us to purchase our house back out of the deal. Our house is now back on the market and we are once again trusting the Lord for His timing. Please pray for Sandra and the kids as they are back into "leave the house in a moments notice" mode.

Axle Swap

Ever driven along and then heard a sound coming from your car that you just knew was going to be expensive to fix? That is exactly what happened to me last week. I was driving along and then heard this "clunk, clunk. clunk, bang!" and immediately the truck stopped with a jolt and I could not go forward anymore. I knew at that moment that I had broken the rear axle. This was soon confirmed as I crawled under and saw oil pouring out from the front seal. Yikes! Well, a trip to the junk yard, 5 hours of wrenching, a smashed thumb, three skinned knuckles, and $500 later I am back on the road. My neighbor took the day off to help thus redefining the term "good neighbor" to me. Randy, thanks so much for the loan of your truck and 5 hours of help!
