After transitioning home from Brazil, working this summer
and spending time with family and friends in the Midwest, I am again preparing
to go. I will be going back to Cambodia this September to do YWAM SBS (School of Biblical
Studies). This is a 9-month intensive program where I will read through the
Bible 5 times, spend 60 hours a week in study, and attend 9 hours of lecture
per week.
I have been reading a book this summer called Killing Fields Living Fields by Don
Cormack to learn more about the church history of Cambodia. It was exciting to
read about the revival taking place pre-Khmer Rough genocide (this “reign of
terror” took place 1975-1979), and shocking to learn that about 90% of the
church was exterminated in the killings. Now, 35 years later, God wants to
raise up His people in Cambodia to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and
justice. I cannot wait to be a part of this and learn with and from the people
there.
Please pray that I will have deeper encounters with God as I
inductively study the Bible in this upcoming time. I want to know the Word of
God in text, but more importantly, I want to grow in my love for the Word of
God in person. If I merely know the Word but am not transformed by it, my study
of it will be futile.
