As I Flew to Korea to catch another ride to Cambodia I began to chat with God about this whole crazy trip and this astounding work He is doing. I asked Him, "How are You going to do this next thing? And why are You using me for this?" "
I really don't know why He allows me to be a part of such an amazing thing and be so very blessed by it. It moves me to tears as I think about it. In tears because He chooses to use me for this extraordinary work- I get this front row seat to an amazing show- to see Him manifest Himself in a land of ancient mystery, brokeness and buddhas. He is making Himself known amongst a people who are so wounded, broken and lost but still smile and live day to day in desolation, corruption and humility.... so much humility. Maybe that's why He is here now. Maybe He sees their tears and has heard their cries and felt their suffering. Come Lord Jesus, come!
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.... We carry around in us the death of Jesus so that His life may be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work but life is at work in you- so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God! 2 Corinthians 4:7-18

I so agree. That is what struck me the most about the people of Cambodia. Their sweet demeanor, their humility and kindness in light of all the hardship that surrounds them each day. May the Gospel spread like wildfire among those precious people!
