Aloha (Hello) to our Ohana
(extended family),
We are hoping
this finds you well and glad to be alive in God’s beautiful world.
We are excited to share some good news. Father-God has given us a new
assignment. After our U.S. - Canada trip this summer, we thought we were
coming back to Kona to take part in a Crossroads Discipleship Training
School. On the first day of class that door was closed. When Abba-Father
closes one door, He usually opens another, and that is exactly what
happened to us. On the 28th of November we leave, on one way
tickets, for Siem Riep, Cambodia. There is a YWAM base there at which we
will begin our service. This will probably involve Christian mentoring,
English and French language teaching, technical / vocational training,
and whatever other needs we can help with. We don't know yet exactly what
our service will look like, but we know Who does know, and we trust Him
absolutely.
Here are a few links for you:
http://ywamsiemreap.org/khmer-culture/
http://uofncambodia.org/ -choose “locations” to see Siem Reap where we
are going or Battambang for a really good video about YWAM’s involvement
there.
Go to: YouTube “Shopping with a dollar in Cambodia”, “Walk around the
city of Siem Reap in Cambodia” and “Cambodia snacking on spiders”! There
are many more! Google too will help you see where we are going!
Neither John nor Jackie has ever been to Cambodia. What an adventure this
will be! The time before we leave has multitudes of items on our list. We
are getting blood tests, X-rays, and inoculations. We are finishing up
projects and tying up loose ends. All our “stuff” is being sorted, sold
or given away. By the time we board that plane our possessions will be
down to two suitcases each! Anybody have any idea how to inexpensively
get a box or two back up to Jackie’s locker in Chilliwack?
We are so thankful for the internet!
I suspect that we will, especially over time, dearly love to hear from
all of you.
Until we leave Kona, John’s cell number is still useable.
Our email address continues to be: johnsjackieb@live.com.
We’ll let you know our mailing address when we figure it out for our
ourselves!
Our blog is up and running at: http://johnjackie.blogspot.com.
Other than talking to us, this is where you find out how to support us
financially as we go off to our next mission field.
Our number one need is your prayer covering. We are going to the front.
If you would like to talk to us please email with a time and phone number
and we will call you using our laptops. Remember: When we call you, it
will come from a very strange area code / number.
For Hawaii time go to: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/hawaii-time/
For Cambodia time go to: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/asia/cambodia/time-cambodia/
We are planning a paper / regular mailing to go out around the end of
November. Watch for it!
Do we have your current address?
We pray for
God's richest blessings to you all,
John and Jackie
s.i.t.K.a.
