The funds raised from the sale of these Cambodian souvenirs will help us continue to support 1 of our pastors in Cambodia with a monthly income, as well Titus' family and other special ministry projects in Cambodia, such as:
♥$30 will buy approximately a month's supply of rice for a small family
♥Quarterly training seminars for the pastors (averaging $500 to cover the entire event, including transportation and food)
♥A bicycle for Titus' brother so he doesn't need to pay for a ride to/from work
♥Tuition and uniforms for our nephews, Chamroat (age 7) and Reaksmey (age 5), to start school for the first time



55lbs bags of rice purchased for 6 families during our January 2013 trip

There will be a couple of opportunities within the next few weeks-months to get more items from Cambodia, so if you are interested in something that has already been sold and you are willing to wait [until perhaps April,] let me know and I'll get one for you. ♥

Thank you for your support! Your dollars go a long way in Cambodia! ♥

White Robes and Heavenly Culture

February is Missions Month at Brookhaven. As long as I can remember, February has always been Missions Month! I love it! During high school especially, February was a very formative month in affirming my call to missions, and in expanding my heart for all nations and cultures. This year, our theme verse has been Revelation 7:9
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language [my favorite part!,] standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

Yesterday morning, as our congregation was reading the verse collectively and aloud, a beautiful illustration developed in my mind. It was a picture of a small gathering – friends from Mexico, Ecuador, Cambodia, Mozambique, Uganda, etc. – dressed colorfully in their appropriate cultural attire, worship Him. It was a beautiful depiction of not only God’s creativity, but of how God is Savior and Father of all mankind!



Then, as our reading continued, we reached this:
They were wearing white robes
and I paused. White robes? We’ll ALL be in WHITE ROBES?? And I realized… it won’t be about who we are and where we’ve come from, but about HIM! Our culture will be Heavenly when we are united in His return! I can’t even imagine what a day of rejoicing it will be!
