Hope is Alive in Cambodia!

Posted by Tim Perkins:
This place is like none I've ever been (obviously). Our hotel sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the city, as it is really nice amongst quite dilapidated surroundings. There are so many people out on the streets, it's as if we are navigating vehicles through a crowded mall as schools of fish dodge out of our way at the last second. The people here must be fearless; especially the ones on mopeds! They weave in and out of traffic with no regard for personal safety or the safety of their infants which are usually riding squeezed between two adults or just up on the handle-bars. It was quite unnerving to watch and definitely inspired some quick blessings over those children.



I have an overwhelming sense of expectancy for these people. I feel that God is ready to open the eyes of this nation in a miraculous way. I know that He is going to reveal Himself in all of His glory and no one will ever be the same.

Please pray for the festival in Battambang. The government here is Buddhist and perhaps fearful of the impact of our endeavors. Last week, the government switched venues at the last second for Hillsong London, moving them from a 10,000 seat arena to a 700 seat auditorium. You know this didn't stop God though; over a thousand people gave their lives the first weekend! We are not concerne for God has sent us here "for such a time as this," as Mordecai would say. Nonetheless, we need the power of your prayers and agreement that God will shine His favor upon us.

Hey Team Cambodia,

I'm glad everyone is doing well and all the bags made it...terrific stuff. We will be praying for the crusade in Battambang to be full of miracles and salvations. Have a great time and we will talk soon.
