of the child sex tradehere in Cambodia. The beaches here are beauti-ful, and the water iswarm and inviting. Theweather is blistering hot,and the tourists fill thetown, looking to exploitthis country in whichever way they can.The last couple weekshave been spent acquir-ing information, andrecharging ourselves!Jenny & I have been inneed of some good R&R lately. We return toPhnom Penh around the24th. (josh)We’ve made it to thecoastal town of Siha-noukville. On the 28th,the Holbeche’s arrived inPhnom Penh, and wecontinued our busy work schedule, while sitting inon a couple of the meet-ings that they had ar-ranged. We met withAple (who are on thefrontlines of the child sextrade), and People Im- provement Organization(who provide assistanceand education for womenand children at the citydump). It was very dis-turbing, but informative.What is a daily occur-rence in this part of theworld is shocking.On the 7

Goodbye to Cambodia Mission Outreach (for now)
 The children’s cries of “Ahtay’” were humorous asour teachers asked them if they wanted to see us go.One little boy asked me tobring him back some giftsfrom Sihanoukville!! We have grown incredibly close to the children of New Hope School in thepast 4 months, and evenhere, on the coast, they areclose to our hearts.Many of the children herein Cambodia do not havethe chance for a truly meaningful life. Their inno-cence has been cruelly taken from them. And theirfuture seems way too in-timidating to overcome.Some, in Cambodia, work  with this reality directly. Jenny & I have been work-ing with it indirectly. When people meet Jesus,they change. Motives areredirected, and desires arechanged. As we sow seedsof Love into as many hereas we can, the result will beindividual transformation, which grows into nationaltransformation. All changestarts with the smallest,most seemingly, insignifi-cant seed. Obedience issurely greater than sacrifice.(1Samuel 15:22). We are glad to be here, atthe beautiful beaches onthe Gulf of Thailand, but we will also be glad to seethe amazing kids of New Hope School again.
