Back in the Far East!

Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

How are you all doing? How was everyones summer?
I pray you are all blessed and prospering!
I just arrived back in Asia on Sunday after being in Canada for over two months this summer.
I had an amazing summer catching up with many of you and spent some quality time with my family.
It was a time of getting refreshed and for taking a breather from the full-on ministry in Cambodia.
Compared to 3 months ago, when I had Typhoid Fever and was honestly struggling, I am feeling great and am ready to preach the Gospel and makes disciples in Cambodia once again!! Praise God!

This fall is going to be busy as myself, Andrew and Katrina Stock and my Khmer leaders take on the challenge of overseeing an additional 30 home churches in an area 3hrs away from Poipet.

Besides our regular outreach to the local Aids Clinic, our English School, the street kids outreach, the music school and our different Church ministries, a team from Christian Life Assembly in Langley, B.C will be coming in November. I am very excited about this as it is always an honor to host a team from my home church and to get westerners plugged into the great commission in Asia!!

Also this summer 10 young men contacted me about wanting to serve the Lord in Cambodia, in the next 10 months.
Please be praying for these guys as they prepare to leave behind everything they know and lay down their lives in a difficult setting. I beleive God wants to radically change these guys and use them to do great things for the Lord.

I am leaving Thailand for Cambodia tomorrow so please be praying that the Lord gives me strength, wisdom, an increased annointing and a healthy fear of the Lord for this new season!!
I am really believing for a massive harvest of souls this next year and that we are going to start seeing more of Gods power as we minister!

Wakeboarding on the Pitt River!!

God is so good and He has blessed me with great friends!
Last week two friends of mine from CLA took me boating on the Fraser River!! The scenery was amazing!! We cruised past all these saw-mills and tug-boats, stopped for lunch, and then wakeboarded in the Pitt River area! Besides the water being totally fridged I had a blast wakeboarding, knee-boarding and just hanging out with JM and Jane!
I have 2 more weeks in Canada before heading back to Cambodia so I am trying to chill, meet with friends and get a few things organized.
Please be praying that God would give me new vision and a greater annointing as I prepare to go back to Asia!

Grandma Reimer

This is a picture of my Grandma Reimer at Earl's Restaurant in Abbotsford just a few weeks ago. She is 86 years old and still doing incredibly well!! She is still amazingly active - she volunteers at the MCC restaurant, faithfully attends church and prayer meetings and every summer makes lunch and prepares cold drinks for whoever might be working on the farm.
I love my Grandma. She has been a tremendous blessing in my life and I really praise God for her!
Hope you like the picture!

Reimer Fam at Disneyland!

Home Sweet Home!!

It was an emotional reunion when I saw my parents at the Airport. I won't lie, I cried like a little boy!!
After being away from home for 2yrs and having been through a lot of difficult things, seeing my Mom and Dad was just a great feeling.
I don't think it really matters how old we get, or what we accomplish in our lifetimes, our parents will always be our parents, and we will always be their kids!! In many ways it's a very comforting and cool thing about life!
Anyways enough sentimental stuff! I am home now and though not feeling 100 percent after the whole Typhoid thing, I'm feeling good and it's just a blessing to be home!
I saw my new nephew the night I got home and that was a treat! Tai looks a lot like my older sister Danica and the kid is just adorable! I have seen him twice now and have rarely heard him cry, my kind of nephew!!

I am off to California with most of my family on Saturday the 28th. but will be home around July 6th. I seriously would love to connect with all of you so don't be shy and either email me at joel_reimer@hotmail.com. or you can phone our place 1-604-855-7254.

Bless you guys

New Truck!

Here are some pictures of the truck that I just purchased last week!! It's a 1997 Toyota Tacoma, standard, 4x4. I think it's sweet, praise God!!!
I would just like to thank CLA for their major contribution that went towards buying this truck and also Pete and Marianne Reimer for their amazing generousity.
I already received a report from my friend Matt Brown who just used the truck to rush a girl to the Hospital after she had broken her arm at one of our home churches. We will use every resource that we are blessed with to help the Khmer people come to know Jesus Christ! Amen!
Bless you guys

I'm coming home!

After 2 years of serving the Lord in Cambodia I am coming home for a short break!!!
On June 22nd I fly out of Bangkok and amazingly enough, thanks to the time change, I arrive in Vancouver BC the same day.
I am excited to see many of you and get caught up with all that has happened over the past 2 years!
I will be home all summer and then will be coming back to Cambodia at the end of August.

Some other big news that I want to share with you is that I just bought a TRUCK for the Ministry!!
I made 3 trips to Phnom Phen in the last few weeks to check out trucks and on this last trip, just two days ago, finally was able to purchase a 1997 Toyota Tacoma, 4x4. It's sweet and I got it for a pretty good deal, praise God! So that is a real blessing and it will be a big help to the ministry.

I also just recently got over a bout with Typhoid Fever that has left me pretty thin. I picked up someting in Phnom Phen a week and a half ago and right away felt awful. My fever was around 104 for a week and I had some nasty headaches and muscle pains. After 4 days I got to the Drs. and he put me on an IV drip for 3 days straight and gave me some medicine.
I sweated it out in this little clinic but after being on the IV drip I felt a lot better and now am pretty much back to normal!

We also just had a Womens Conf. at our church that saw 30 women come the first day and 40 women the second day. Many of them stayed at our church overnight and had a great time of fellowship and growing in their faith together.

God is so good and yeah can't wait to see many of you real soon!
Blessings
JR
