‘208 Days’ in  
Cambodia
10/40 Vision (josh)
Our 30 weeks in Cambo-
dia is quickly coming to
an end. I have the daunt-
ing task of trying to sum
up our trip in this last
newsletter, which, is im-
possible.
Our dream of ministering
the Gospel in the 10/40
Window (the least Chris-
tianized area in the
world) became reality.
The area from 10-40 de-
grees north of the equa-
tor, which stretches from
Northern Africa through
to Japan is what we know
as the 10/40 Window. It
houses the least Christi-
anized nations on the
planet. It has long been a
goal of mine to come here
and tell people of what
Jesus did for them 2000
yrs ago.
Cambodia’s population is
95% Buddhist (much of it
nominal though), and
Christianity is seen as
the ‘white man’s religion’.
But true Christianity has
little to do with the form
of religion expressed in
many churches today. All
religions of today are
centered on pursuing
something, while Christi-
anity, in it’s most basic,
pure form, is about what’s
pursuing us………Jesus.
It’s about a God who
loved us so much that He
forgave the awful things
we have done to Him, and
each other. Many have
forgotten God, but He has
not forgotten them.
Conversion to an alter-
nate religion is not what
the millions of Cambodi-
ans need. Their needs are
the same as ours. To find
a purpose, and a destiny
that is ultimately fulfilled
in knowing the God who
was completely revealed
to us in Jesus Christ.
Jesus came so that we
might know God. We take
this message for granted
in the Western World. In
the 10/40 Window, it is a
message that has not
been fully heard. Millions
wait for those who will
abandon their lives to
take up their cross and
live in obedience to the
final command Jesus
gave us. Go into all the
world and preach the
gospel to all creation.
(Mark 16:15 nasb)
In regards to many Chris-
tians, many may have
20/20 vision, while only a
few have 10/40 vision.
Jenny & I happen to be
part of the latter.
We eagerly await the next
time we board a plane;
set for departure, into a
world almost devoid of
Christian witness. The
harvest is large, but there
are few workers to gather
it in. (Matthew 9:37 gnb)

“If the Tiber floods
the city, or if the
Nile refuses to
rise, or if the sky
withholds its rain,
if there is an
earthquake, a fam-
ine, a pestilence,
at once the cry is
raised: ‘Christians
to the lion.’” - from
Tertullian’s Apology.
In regards to early Christians
being labelled as atheists,
seeing as they refused to wor-
ship the gods of Rome. Such
behaviour would have been
indicative for the gods becom-
ing angry.

back to the Ranch

Summer’s coming, and Jenny & I will
once again be employed at Double H
Ranch in Lake Luzerne, NY. Our job:
make sure a bunch of kids have the
best summer ever!
The camp (one of Paul Newman’s Hole
in the Wall Camps) caters to approx
800 children each summer who have a
variety of illnesses.
Jenny will be working at the Happy
Barn as the Small Animals Assistant,
which mean she will run the petting
zoo. She will be in charge of bunnies,
guinea pigs, goats, and pigs!
I will be a Cabin Counselor, which
means I will be hands on with a group
of between 8-15 children aged any-
where between 6-16 yrs old, depending
on the cabin.
Working at the camp is a great job,
because you are em-
ployed to have fun!
The earnings will also
go towards returning to the foreign
field in the Fall sometime.
Jenny starts work on the 5th of June,
and I on the 17th. Camp ends on Au-
gust 17th.

Church History in Plain

Language is a must read.
Almost all of what is in this
book is never heard of by at
least 95% of Christians. I
was shocked to find out how
little I knew about the faith I
professed to love. This book
will open your eyes to the
practicality of our faith, and
you will understand it like
never before. Go to Amazon
www.joshandjenny.weebly.com and order a copy! You will
not regret it.

From Andrew Fuller’s teaching, William

Carey drew the inescapable inference that,
if it is the duty of all men to repent and
believe the gospel -as Fuller argued– it is
also the duty of those entrusted with the
gospel to carry it to the whole world.
(Bruce L Shelley’s Church History in Plain Language)

Thoughts from a Rookie (Jenny)

Jenny and Obei, 1 of the 6 dogs at
the Kove household
So there it was. My first time overseas and my first foreign missions trip. Looking
back, I didn't expect to become so used to Cambodia in these 7 months. In late
October, when Josh and I were preparing for ministry in Phnom Penh, I imagined
myself always feeling out of place, and being at constant risk of offending every-
one.
I am surprised by how normal Cambodia is to me now. When we first arrived,
there was something about the atmosphere of Cambodia that seemed dark and
that even had an element of eeriness to it. As we whizzed through the crazy traffic
in the tuk-tuk, my eyes would be fastened to the strange sights on the street: peo-
ple selling flopping fish, insects, and dyed-red dead pigs.
As the weeks went by, it felt like someone opened up the blinds and
more light flooded into Phnom Penh. Today, Cambodia doesn't seem dark to me,
but very bright.
All of the unfamiliar sights have become commonplace. I walk up the
street to buy eggs, amidst the flopping fish and strange foods, and it has become
as habitual as taking a walk to Sobeys to buy milk. Being a minority and not being
able to communicate with everyone is just an every day reality, and to my relief
there is grace for foreigners when it comes to cultural do's and don’ts. Living in
Cambodia has just become so natural.
I definitely like Cambodia even more than I thought I would, and the min-
istry here is amazing. There is so much opportunity here for Jesus to make His
disciples.
Now as we prepare to leave South East Asia, and start packing our
bags, going back to our homeland Canada just doesn’t seem so natural.
