“What are you doing?! Hurry up.” Said Lin, “What are you grabbing the bananas for.”

“They’re gonna go bad, we should eat them.” I said.

We got in our truck and drove to the private hospital. They immediately started on bloodwork and cervical checks and everything.

“Be careful with the cervical check.” I said, “Don’t you dare break her water.”

10 minutes later Lin went to the bathroom and her water broke. The doctors started preparing, they asked me to sign a document saying that we’d do a c-section if things didn’t work out.

“Well, let’s wait until that comes, I want to deliver the baby naturally.” I said.

The doctor began giving a spiel about how the baby was too big and they wouldn’t allow us to give birth naturally at the private hospital. They told us the only option is for them to take Lin to the State hospital. I told them that I would rather just take my wife to a different government hospital (Kantha Bopha) then myself. Kantha Bopha is famous for only doing C-sections as an absolute last resort. The private hospital was a little mad, we were mad too. We waited for them to finish their billing so that they’d let us leave to go deliver the baby at the other hospital.

I drove Lin to the hospital and they took her into the delivery room while I waited outside, but after half an hour they called me in to talk to Lin. They never allow the husband into the room while the wife is giving birth, but they let me because they needed me to decide whether we would do a c-section or not. I encouraged Lin to hang in there and that we could do it naturally.

After 2 hours the doctors said that they didn’t think the baby would be able to exit the birth canal because the baby was big and although Lin was fully dilated her pelvis only had opened on one side. I was coaching Lin as she groaned in pain. She pleaded with me to sign the paper so that they’d do the c-section. The doctors told me it was getting close to lunch time so if we were gonna do a c-section we’d have to do it while the doctors were still working.

Lin and I had both decided beforehand that we would do whatever we could to avoid a c-section because the recovery is brutal and long, but now Lin was convinced that she couldn’t go forward. I told her that 3 hours wasn’t that long, but in the end we decided to undergo the operation.

Half an hour later they brought me a large pale baby with an elongated skull from the incomplete birthing process (After a couple days the head returns to normal). They said the baby was 4.1kgs (9 pounds) born at 10:55am on April 1st.

They had me take the baby to the room where they put the babies in observation.

“It’s important to take the baby to her mother as soon as we can.” I said.

“We need to observe the baby here in case there’s a problem, like difficulty breathing or whatnot.” The doctor said.

“What exactly are you looking for?” I asked. The doctor froze and couldn’t find the words to respond. Finally they told me to take my daughter and go to her mother.

Lin was lying in a hospital bed in a room with 8 other mothers and their newborns and their designated support family member. I was Lin’s support family member, the only non-Cambodian in the whole place. Usually non-Cambodians don’t enter this hospital and they have a reputation for not receiving non-Cambodians but I had no such issue. I understand though, the hospital is a modern clean good hospital but it’s still fundamentally Cambodian and many many many people are born their every day. What do I mean by Cambodian? I mean that typically at a free hospital like this one in Cambodia, there are not nurses watching you, bringing food, and helping with everything. It’s the responsibility of the the support family member, me.

So I found myself watching my daughter Gabrielle, watching my wife and doing all the errands myself. I confess it was pretty stressful. Lin couldn’t sit up, she couldn’t breastfeed. I did not want to start Gabrielle on formula because I know how hard it is to break that habit, but after 12 hours I worried that my baby was hungry. Usually the support family member takes shifts with two other people, but I had no one to switch with; Lin’s family was far away and so was mine. Marlin and Sreyown came and helped for a bit. And eventually Lin’s brother came for a few days so that I could get a few hours sleep.

Lin said that the other husbands were kinda lethargic and were tired of helping their wives but when they saw that even I a foreigner was doing it all by myself they started to have strength again.

After 5 days, they finally released us to go home. We were exhausted. There were trials but we saw God have mercy on us, we saw him help us every step of the way and whenever we wanted to be discouraged we looked back to what we’ve come through knowing that he who begin a good work in us would see it to completion.

A month later

Now it’s been a month and we’re at Lin’s family’s house and Lin’s mom and sister-in-law help watch the baby.

Thoughts

Gabrielle is so precious, she loves to be held, she just needs attention and to know that her parents are with her. She loves to sleep while hugging either mom or dad. When I was stressed in the hospital, it was good to know that Jesus loves me like a little child. He knows my needs, he hears my cries and I am his offspring. Jesus has not brought us to where we are just to abandon us now.

It’s so easy to get discouraged by the current circumstance and forget how God pulled us out of the last one that we were sure we wouldn’t get out of.

Development

While waiting for our baby, I’ve had plenty of time to develop PeakSlab (my Khmer language app) into something that is very usable. (There’s Lao and various other languages too, but Khmer is the most mature). I’m also starting a Khmer language learning app as well, but that has quite a lot more to go.

I think that this could be the greatest dictionary platform ever since it doesn’t need to be installed, it works offline and it’s very fast and efficient.

PeakSlab

Testimonies

• Grandma Samnang’s daughters have given their lives to Jesus.
• Paeng and Samen (Two of Marlin and Sreyown’s disciples) have been leading their families to Jesus and their Wednesday bible study keeps growing larger.

News

We had 3 more coworkers come to Cambodia! Darien and Lindsey did AMT (Advanced Mission Training) here in Cambodia last year and they chose to join and they’ve gotten funded very quickly. Mia did AMT a couple years ago and she’s finally ready too. They’ve raised up a team of partners and they’re ready to learn the language and help with the ministry.

10 of our Cambodian coministers are also transitioning to also raising their own funds from Cambodians to do full time ministry as well. Even if all the foreigners leave (none of us plan on leaving) there will still be a sustainable movement of God continuing the work and growing without us.

Now that we are officially a local NGO here it is a lot of paperwork and taxes and laws and stuff we have to follow, but we’re learning and getting established. We are going to start building some more structures on the base this year.

Praise

• Gabrielle is a month old!

Pray

• That we would get the baby’s passports done quickly.
• That Lin and Gabrielle can visit the US at the end of this year.
• For the expeditions and AMT and different events that they would glorify God and be fruitful for the kingdom.

Tommy and Lin

Several of the neighbors, and even Aunt Ee the owner of the Ee Tawn market have given their lives to Jesus and have received quite the education considering we were teaching at the camp two times a day. Aunt Ee has been filled with so much joy, she does whatever she can to get to our meetings on time to worship and learn more about Jesus. She told the monks that she’s a Christian now and so she’s not giving them money anymore. They couldn’t believe it, so they asked her neighbor grandma Vut who said, “Not only is Aunt Ee a Christian, but so am I.” It’s amazing to see how quickly their lives have changed and that they’re walking in new life.

The former residents of Ee Tawn market have been missing one another, there’s been conflicts, sure, but at the end of the day we’re all one family.

Now my responsibilities include working at our base (farming and developing) as well as teaching in the churches and villages. I’ve also volunteered for some administrative stuff and to also explore creating our own khmer language teaching program for missionaries.

AMT

We had some Americans come to do the Overland Missions Advanced Missions Training in Cambodia this year, so after they graduate next week they will go back to the States and start fundraising and launching into their assignments in different countries. Four of them have decided to serve in Cambodia though, which is awesome.

Farewell

Our coworkers, Matt and Kim Belden, just left Cambodia to work for Overland Missions in Florida doing administrative work there, pray for them as they enter this new stage of life and ministry.

Praise

• Lin and I just bought Matt & Kim’s truck. Now I can take Lin and others with me to more villages and we can go farther out to teach/preach.
• Lin is doing well at 4.5 months pregnant.
• Lin and I just received our Cambodian marriage certificate!

Pray

• That the people we minister to would mature.
• For our new team members that they would get funded and on the field here.
• For our base that we would have the resources and wisdom to develop it.

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)

Tommy and Lin

The Camp

We’re still at the refugee camp that our team has set up. There’s 60 families or so here and most of them are believers, so we have lots of time to pour into them and encourage them. It’s been great, we’re teaching and learning every day, and we cook and eat together. I’m getting better at preaching and teaching and reading in Khmer (not that I ever was very good at those things in English).

Lin helps organize and buy food for cooking at the camp every day and she thrives doing it. Many of the unbelievers here have given their lives to Jesus. Our camp is a testimony to all the organizations and people that come to provide aid. People from all over have pitched in to help in various ways and it’s really encouraging to see Cambodia and even the world come together to help those displaced by war.

There are some things I probably shouldn’t say here for security reasons and so I won’t say those; though for the most part we are really safe.

Projects

For the past few years I’ve had zero appetite for playing video games, so instead I’ve been using my free-time for various projects:

• Setting up Khmer bible radios which only cost $3.75 a unit because I buy all the parts direct from China. Everybody loves listening to them and the quality is really good for the price. If something’s broken all I have to do is replace the battery or the memory card or the radio and keep the rest going.
• Khmer, Lao, Chitonga, and Silozi dictionary web apps. There’s a shortage of good resources, and what’s out there is pretty much unusable. My new system reworks all the data I’ve accumulated and makes it fast and accessible and offline. I’ll do an official release once I’m satisfied with it.
• Khmer typesetting for bibles and tracts and book translations.

Pray

• Pray for Lin as she’s suffering morning sickness everyday, constantly puking. (But she’s been doing much better the last couple days.)
• Pray for the people at the camp that we grow in unity and continue to shine in every situation.
• Pray that the war would end and it would be safe to go back to our homes soon.
• Pray that our team would grow and have the proper resources and favor to manage being a registered NGO.

Praise

• Lin is pregnant!
• We’ve worked hard and are on our way to having a Cambodian marriage license (very hard to get for foreigners).
• Many people have been getting saved and are walking in new life!

Love you all,

Tommy and Lin

Before we got married, Lin had questions about how we would live as a married couple and the structure of our new lives together. I told her we could do whatever, as long as the two of us agree.

And as I rode my motorcycle last week I thought about that. I felt like God was saying the same thing, “we can do miracles, we can transform lives, we can change the world, as long as the two of us agree.” (The two of us being me and Jesus, or the church and Jesus.) I know God wants to do miracles, I know God wants to touch lives, but as co-laborers with Christ he’s looking for us to agree with him. When we don’t push for the supernatural, when we don’t pursue it, we aren’t gonna see it often. It’s not because God isn’t interested, it’s not because it isn’t his will, but often it isn’t our will; we give up easily, we get distracted, or we doubt.

Right now our team in Cambodia is dwindling in numbers, so it’s more important than ever that we have unity of vision together in order to see God’s will be done. We’re looking to accelerate ministry with training Cambodians, even sending them to neighboring countries, but the details of how to do that haven’t been fully agreed on yet.

We had engineers come and help us plan out how to build a base for future ministry here and it’s gonna be big, we need God’s help to get there, and we need more missionaries on the ground here.

Pray for our team that we would have the unity and the resources to move forward.

Expedition

We had an expedition in Tmat Paey a couple months ago and now Lin and I are responsible to follow up with that village and make it strong and connect people to the church there. It was pretty discouraging going there before, but last week Lin and I spent a full day there visiting people and we saw that there really is a lot of interest in Jesus from the young to the aged. They let us teach 250 elementary students in the school, and we have permission to do that every week. I love working with my wife.

Actual war?

There’s been lots of tension between Cambodia and Thailand at the border (where we are) lately. There’s been a lot of soldiers everywhere. So far not much has really happened, but people are digging bunkers and evacuating and stuff. Some people evacuated a month ago and got bored and hungry and so they came back, life goes on. I took advantage of the situation and got to take my wife to visit some of my old friends in Oddar Meanchey province like I promised them.

Pray

-That Lin and I can get the documents the government requires in order to be legally married. -For the future of our work in Cambodia (the base, disciples, partners, ministry)

I thank Christ for you all,

Tommy and Lin

She’s beautiful, faithful, wonderful, wise, and cute. She’s mine and I am hers. Though the world may scoff, we have no shame.

March, back in Cambodia

When I got back to Cambodia in March we ran around for a month preparing for the wedding, receiving and feeding guests, handling logistics for said guests (and taking care of my visiting American family) as well as running marriage paperwork, handing out invites, and overall wearing ourselves out. The number of things going wrong are comical with how many there are, and even worse is that Lin and I seemed to be the only ones equipped to solve them.

The night before the wedding we were out late preparing fruit for the parade and trying to get the bookings for our guests straightened out since the hotel was claiming we had 2 rooms that haven’t been claimed yet. Then at 2:50am we woke up to get dressed and put on makeup (I didn’t wear makeup, but I was there for emotional support) for the wedding. I thought we were in for another exhausting day, but God blessed us with a relatively cool day. It was a very fun yet long day and in all we changed outfits 8 times.

We got married in the Cambodian tradition, but Christian style, so all the music was music to Jesus and there was no charms or calling on spirits or ancestors. Also there was no alcohol

After wedding busyness

It was great having my family on my side meet the family on Lin’s side. After the wedding Lin and I did some more cleanup and entertained more guests for a day.

After a couple days we went to Amy and Thanak’s house to help them with their 2 day long kid’s camp event. Lin helped make all the food and I was a camp leader. We worshipped Jesus, played games, and taught the kids a lot about Jesus.

After the camp me and Lin and my family all went to Siem Reap and stayed there for a few days. They got to see what a Cambodian waterfight is like. Then we rented a bus to take them to the airport in Phnom Penh.

Sickness

After that I got immediately hit by different sicknesses, at first it was mumps, then a couple weeks later it was strep throat, hyponatremia, and mumps again? So I’ve just been rather exhausted and achey for a while but I’m getting better. Pray for my full healing.

Praise

• The government did not shut down our wedding ceremony even though we didn’t have the paperwork completed.

• We completed one part of our marriage paperwork process (though we may have to start over if some of the papers expire).

• My family made it to Cambodia easily and had a fun easy time here, there was a bunch of teasing back and forth between them and Lin.

• I’m thankful for all of you who support and pray for me and blessed me on this next stage of my life.

Closing

I’m sorry this letter took so long in writing, I’ve been pretty much out of energy and sleeping most days trying to recover. Now I understand the beauty and some of the hardships of marriage.

No regrets, excited for what comes next:

• Expedition Monday
• Bible studies
• Kids Ministry every day
• Conference for Cambodians in July

all for Jesus,

Tommy and Lin

In November we took our 10 disciples and my fiance Lin to Thailand for a retreat to pray and worship and really focus on the holy Spirit and God’s voice. God moved in our meetings and we had some time to visit the night market as well. Those were my last nights in Asia before I left Lin and my team to go back to America for four months.

Overland Missions just had our annual conference in Jacksonville and it was a blast, it’s great to work among such like-minded people who are living in the victory of redemption by Christ alone. We’re taking on 18+ nations and we’re going to continue to see the gospel transform lives.

Right now I’m in Florida, and then I’ll be in Dallas for a couple weeks before going back to Dubuque. I’ll be going around praying for people, speaking, raising support, and preparing the documents I need to marry my first and only love.

I’m being tried, I’m being tested, but I know that God will come through as he always does, and I thank all of you who have been such an encouragement and partners with me in this kingdom work.

Can I take this with me?

My dad brought a homeless man in a wheelchair into our home and we all took turns sharing the word of Christ with him and praying for him. We attempted to get him out of the wheel chair, but his legs were still weak.

“How do you feel?” We asked.

“You know, it’s weird,” he said, “for the past few years I’ve had constant voices in my head, but ever since I came into your house the voices stopped. What’s going on?”

“It’s because this is my house.” Said my dad, “I don’t allow the voices to enter. This is God’s house and he’s bigger than every other spirit.”

“It’s amazing. I feel this peace. Can I take this with me when I go?”

“Yes.” I replied, “You can because it’s just Jesus. If you give him your life he will be with you forever.”

The power of God is alive in every country it becomes ours by faith, we have to believe that we have it by right of Jesus’ finished work on the cross.

Romans 8:15 BSB For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Pray

• That my personal funds I had saved for my wedding will be released to my account in time to book the wedding. And that all these logistical details would be worked out.
• For our ministry in Cambodia as it grows and we get legitimacy and legal status.
• For me that I would get funding and partnerships to insure longevity and velocity in Cambodia for both serving others and providing for my family.

Let’s meet up while there’s still time.

Tommy Downs

But last year in July I was talking to God, telling him that I wanted to stay single for him.

“Oh, you’re so smart,” I felt God say sarcastically, “you’ve got your life all figured out don’t you? Is this your plan or mine?”

“No, God. Please don’t say that. There’s too much nonsense with marriage, too many risks.”

“You’re single because you’re afraid you won’t be enough. You think you can’t love a woman and love me at the same time. Don’t you trust me? You won’t be divided, you’ll be multiplied.”

I reluctantly stored those words away in my heart. Up until now I couldn’t ever pray for my future spouse, it felt disingenuous because I didn’t feel that desire. I liked boasting in my singleness, I liked being a testimony that we don’t need romance. I hated that every Cambodian stranger always assumed that I was in Cambodia because I’m romantically interested in Cambodian women. I was determined to prove them wrong and show them that I’m above that and there’s more important things in life than romance and family.

I have always kept myself on guard and emotionless around women in order to ensure that none of them would ever develop feelings for me. I loathed the compliments and advances and could never really trust anyone, because how could any sane woman handle me or really want me for me? They would all ultimately be happier with someone else, I’m not cut out for romance, nor do I want to be.

Until Something Changed

My coworkers Amy and Thanak were having a new year’s party at their house and Thanak’s mom’s much younger cousin Lin (34F) asked me to help her with different tasks as she cooked for the hundred plus people. (She only speaks Khmer)

“I shouldn’t help her too much.” I said to myself, “I wouldn’t want her to think I like her. But you do like her. Yes, but she can never know that. Why can’t she know? Would it be so bad if she knew? She’s a fantastic hardworking woman with character and she loves Jesus and is both emotionally and mentally mature (you’ve seen her in her most difficult moments during the past 2 years), there’s no shame in liking her. After all, liking her doesn’t mean you have to marry her. She’s mature, you can trust her, no drama will happen.”

So I preceded to help her with various tasks and she kept calling on me. She insisted I have someone help me carry the giant pots of soup, but I did it by myself instead.

“She probably thinks I’m trying to impress her, but this is just how I normally do things. But even if she thinks I’m showing off for her, I’m oddly ok with that.” I said to myself.

She fed me a spoonful of the soup and asked me if it needed anything. Was she crushing on me too?

We both squatted down opposite each other to wash the rice; our hands accidentally touched, it felt like sin.

Later, one of the teenage girls saw my behaviour and she asked me in front of Lin if I had a girlfriend to which I mechanically replied that I had decided to stay single forever just like Charles. That was really hard to say because I felt myself falling for Lin, but I didn’t want to leave myself trapped or vulnerable.

“Everybody who says that usually gets married shortly after.” Said the girl.

“But I’m different, ok?” I said with a laugh trying to mask my feelings.

More things happened, and I started to think that she definitely knew that I liked her and that she probably liked me as well.

Texting

Lin lives 7 hours away from me, I only see her a couple times a year. So I messaged her to try to get to know her. Our conversation was dry and professional, there was no spark, so I told myself that maybe I didn’t really like her. But 4 months later I found myself drawn to her and so I thought and prayed about what to do.

We began to text each other in Khmer every night for a couple hours. After a week I confessed that I was interested in her. We became boyfriend girlfriend with the intention of getting to know each other’s hearts first before we committed to marriage. We grew closer and closer day by day.

We just got engaged last month and it was the first time I’ve held a woman’s hand like that. I have to remind myself that it’s ok to have feelings and that it’s ok to say sweet things and show affection, and that it’s ok to look at her and be near her. My heart is so full that I feel like it could explode at any moment.

I thought surely mushy feelings of love we’re just for other people and I’d be immune to its effects, but I was wrong. I’m just so satisfied to stare at her beautiful face and listen to her voice which speaks stories from her heart.

Like a dream

“It’s like a dream,” said Lin, “it doesn’t seem real. It’s so wonderful, like we’re the only two people on earth.”

“I feel the same way. I had no idea that romantic love was real, I just thought everyone was crazy or faking it.”

I keep having moments where I ask myself how I got here, and keep doubting that it’s real because for so long I’ve had my identity tied up in singleness thinking that that’s who I was.

“When you told me that you liked me, I was so nervous, embarrassed, and excited.” She told me, “I asked Thanak about you and he said that you’re a good man but that you’re a little weird. That made me so mad; I couldn’t accept that, so I pleaded for God to change you. And I’m glad to see that you’ve changed so much. Does it bother you that I did that?”

“No. I’m so thankful that you are a positive force for change in my life. Those old habits were things I had adopted in an effort to keep women away, and I don’t need that anymore. Jesus gave up everything for me, and he’s called me to love you with that same sacrificial love. All the paperwork, all the expense, all the changes, it’s nothing compared to what Christ has done.”

“You have no regrets then?” She asked.

“You are so beautiful, so perfect, so wonderful, that just a moment with you, my love, makes it all worth it.”

We plan on getting married in April next year.

Jesus heals a man bedridden for 6 years

A couple months ago one of the groups of Americans came to help with ministry for a couple of weeks. They went to one house where a grandpa had been lying on a bed for 6 years unable to rise. So they prayed for him. Him and his wife gave their lives to Jesus, and since then, he’s been able to sit-up and walk on crutches and move his arms. Now that his wife doesn’t have to watch him 24/7 she is free to ride her moto selling corn to support her family.

The other people curse her because she believes in Jesus and they complain that her corn tastes so much better than theirs. She goes everywhere spreading the good news of Jesus and is unashamed. She says that before she knew Jesus, there would be evil spirits crying and causing trouble near her house every night, but the evil spirits have not come back to bother them since.

Upcoming Plans

AMT

Overland Missions students (predominately from the US) are coming to Cambodia next month to learn what serving Christ is like in South East Asia. So I will have 2 students following me around for a week or so.

The United States

Well, I’m going back to the states for a visit in November for 4 months before coming back to Cambodia. I’ll be busy traveling to different states and speaking at churches and meeting with people. If you want to meet up and hear about all that’s been happening, reach out to me so that we can make plans.

Prayer

• Continue to pray for our team, that we would grow in numbers and in unity and love for one another. Pray that we would have clear and unified vision.
• Pray for my boss, Charles, as he goes to Africa to recruit more missionaries.
• Pray for my trip to the States coming up, that I would have time to meet with each and every one of you and share in the joy that we have in Jesus Christ. I’m so excited to see all that he is doing in each of your lives!

For the kingdom,

Tommy Downs

As she knelt she saw a vision of the kids from Dry Ground village caught in a net and crying out, “Help us!” So Sreymey told Kelley about the vision and he prayed together with her that the spiritual oppression in that village would be broken off.

We used to teach a lot of children in that village about Jesus, maybe 40 or so, but since then their parents and grandparents have started to forbid them to come and their numbers dwindled down to perhaps 10 kids. That was what the vision was referring to.

But when we went back there last Friday, there were 30 kids in attendance. 2 older women came by, we assumed they came to call their children or grandchildren to forbid them from learning about Jesus; but instead they sat down and listened intently to the gospel with smiles on their faces. What a delight to see God work!

Expedition

Also there was a bunch of expeditions of Americans coming in to help us evangelize in the different villages. It was a delight to work alongside people who have never been in the country and witness the power of a gospel that doesn’t depend on knowledge of language or culture but entirely on the power of Jesus Christ the Living God.

Many people got saved, many people got healed, and now comes the ardorous process of discipling them into maturity in Christ.

Praise

• We got the paperwork done in time, and all our expeditions happened smoothly.
• One of our disciples in the village died suddenly. We thought his family would be discouraged and stop believing in Christ, but it turns out they all believe in Jesus now.

Pray

• For us to make disciples in these villages who are strong and contagious.
• For the family of the believer who died in the village that they would be strong and get free from debt. (Most Cambodians are in heavy debt where we work)

blessings,

Tommy Downs

“Hold on a sec, let me go call my friend and see what he thinks of all this.”

So he got his friend who is also a learned Buddhist and we talked at great length. We gave them a radio with the Bible on it and now they listen to it together every evening and discuss it amongst themselves like true “Bereans.”

Acts 17:11 ESV2011:

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

In that same village was a younger grandfather who has also been listening intently to the scriptures for a couple months, his back had been bothering him for a long time. He had altars and stuff for worshiping other gods but he claimed they were his son’s. Finally one day he prayed to Jesus and was healed.

So in his excitement he came home and burned his altars and things that were for other gods (because they were his after all) and he decided to serve Jesus and Jesus only for the rest of his life. Hallelujah!

Praise

• We have purchased all the land for the base.
• Expeditions are starting next month!
• Charles has returned to Cambodia!

Pray

Pray for me, that I would be a good example and a model to others.

Pray for the whole Cambodia team that we would be unified.

Pray for the kids camp happening this week that the kids would be filled with passion and fire for Jesus.

Yours truly,

Tommy Downs.
