Outreach is over. God is awesome!

So outreach is officially over. Wow! I didn't even see it coming. I feel like we were just getting into Cambodia, and today we had to say our goodbyes and have our last prayer times with the Cambodians. Well I guess time just flies when you're following Jesus!

We have seen so much happen in every area possible its hard to know what to write, but here's a summary of what we've seen God do:
  • 70 people accepted Jesus
  • 6 Cambodian students got baptized
  • 50 students learned about God & English at the youth center
  • 120 student learned about God & English in the local village
  • We saw an extreme makeover in local Cafe that will be used as a ministry to the community
We also had 10 team members leave, so over the course of the whole outreach, we saw our team go from 16. We started out with a family of 4, a family of 5, and 7 singles. Then, as people got commissioned to start school and battle sickness, we were left with 1 leader and 5 singles. Pretty unique!

So there has been lots happening here that I probably forgot to write on this blog, so I hope you keep checking it to hear fresh stories that are finally getting written down!

Also because words on a page really don't do it justice, here's a video taken by our DTS school leader Johnny Gillespie which describes the work God was doing through me. By the way, you can check out his blog as well by visiting this sweet website: Johnny & Jenni's Blog

Enjoy the video!
