Cambodian Harvest

sept-oct 2012

The CCI Expository Preaching Seminar

Early in October the ACTION Cambodia team participated in Crossing Cultures Internationals Expository Preaching seminar,
headed by our teammate, Kit Putrakul. It was wonderful to take part in the training of pastors on a larger scale. I ran a preaching lab where ten of the participants practiced preaching and then were encouraged and critiqued. What a blessing to see so many men excited to grow in their ability to correctly handle the Word of truth. Please continue to keep the pastors of Cambodia in your prayers, as well as our team as we seek to serve these men to the glory of God.

hardest things of being so far away is that our children dont get to interact as much with our extended family. This makes visits from them even more special.
