Sailing Pictures ect.

Youth Group/ Sailing Ect.

Well I am back in Canada and it feels great to be home! I feel like I can just relax these days and it's just a great feeling! We are so crazy busy sometimes in Cambodia its a little overwhelming.
I am trying to rest these days but am still making time to get together with family and friends. I had the privilege of going sailing for a few days around Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island with the Browns, had a blast with 2 of my nephews in Abby before taking them home to my sister in Salmon Arm, and was able to attend Lacey's wedding which had me in tears the whole time! Hey I am a crier, what can I say?!! Its a blessing and curse!!
Here are some picture of our Youth Group in Poipet and some of my activities since arriving back in Canada.

'Return Unto Me'

I don't know about you, but when I start thinking about home, and my family, I get emotional.
I have lived the last 10 years of my life far away from my immediate family and the place where I was born and raised.
If you listen to a lot of secular songs, even these folks that don't know the Lord sing about going home and you can tell it's emotional for them. I think that is why the Prodigal Son story is really powerful for so many people. When that 'Prodigal Son' decided to go home, it was a big deal. It wasn't just the physical fact that he was going home but it symbolized a RETURN to what he knew to be good and true. It meant he would have to humble himself in the sight of his father, his family and all that knew him. People at home know you. They know where you come from, and what you have been through. It's humbling to go home but it's a good thing.
On July 2nd I am flying home after being gone for 1 year. I will be in Canada for a few months and then am hoping to go to a Worship/Music School somewhere in the states this next year.
Missionaries and my Cambodian Staff will lead the ministry while I am gone and I am believing the Lord will continue to provide for them while I am gone.
Looking forward to seeing many of you really soon!

India Trip May 2010

India Trip May 2010

Pictures from India!

I was in Southern India for 10 days with my good friend, Kris Pagan, working with Joseph, an Indian student who is attending my former Bible school, VBCI in Thailand. We spent 3 days with Josephs family in a little village outside of Gatakurem, and then spent the next 7 days traveling by car, train, rick-shaw, motorbike- you name it!!, all over southern India. We preached at 4 different meetings, prayed for a lot of people, shook a thousand hands, visited a 60 year old Prison, saw two famous Hindu Temples and saw some pretty amazing cities and sights! It was a whirl-wind tour! We had some serious close-calls as we travelled but all in all it was a great time! Kris is currently editing and producing the footage that we shot while we travelled. If you check out 'CONMEDAL' on YOUTUBE you can check out the show from India as well as other shows about the ministry here in Cambodia.
