April already!

Greetings dear family and friends!

Thank you for your prayers and please continue in prayer for our hearts and the hearts we meet!

The break from teaching at the Youth Center has been busy, the first week of break our team from The Bridge, Ottumwa, Iowa was here for a good week, including our daughter Melissa, her husband Chris and their daughter  Hannah! It was awesome to have the whole team here but having family experience Cambodia first hand was beyond awesome! It was busy, but also some of the time, especially I, Mary spent supporting those who were not feeling well AT ALL! Most of the team had time that they needed to be very close to the bathroom or just in BED! Many different foods...which many had fun trying but maybe proved not to be so fun later!! But I believe God used each one in ways they can only imagine and they each saw God at work in Cambodia!! Their medical missions in the villages reached out to many people, people who  were so blessed to have Dr Ryan and the Medical and Spiritual Team reach out in Jesus Name!

This past week we were blest in a new way! Nation2Nation happened here on our YWAM Base in Battambang! 25 Nations worshipping and praising God together! A glimpse of Heaven here on earth!
Speakers from South Africa, Iran, Canada (native American), Switzerland and Cambodia!! The goal to reach every tribe and nation in Jesus Name! Amen!! AMEN!!

April starts many firsts for us, Ed will start tomorrow morning by tutoring a young boy who has special needs, his parents are missionary counsellors here working for Rapha House Ministries, with girls who were taken in by traffickers and now are having their souls and needs met thru Rapha House.

This week we get to work with some of the Mighty Girls teaching more advanced English! The Mighty Girls are a football/(soccer in USA)  and they are good! They just won the championship for High School in Cambodia!! Proud of you Mighty Girls!! We are blessed to get to know so many awesome ministries going on here in Battambang and build relationships in Jesus Name!

The Youth Center teaching starts up again after the Khmer New Year which is April 13-15 a very big celebration here in Cambodia!!

Thank you too for those who have been lifting me, Mary, up in prayer for my bug bite turned to cellulitis, praying the second dose of IV's I had today will help this clear up, I am feeling much better and so grateful to Dr Simon, Kyle, Melissa and Jo who have all kept check on me (and Tara from a distance) and guided, prayed, so many prayed over me, I felt so much love through this bit of a bump in the journey.

God bless each of you as you live your lives in His service!
