We share these common convictions, which motivate us to serve God in Kampong Cham:
greatest 2 Jesus was theall time and his 3 God uses his followers to missionary of inform people of his work: final words to his followers were to baptize all nations and teach them about him
Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:13-14
All authority has been given to me in Heaven and on Earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20
Getting Ready
Once we were chosen by our churchs board of elders we underwent a rugged week-long missionary assessment with World Team, our missionary organization. We passed the assessment and after talking with several current missionaries on the field in Cambodia, we were invited to join the field in Kampong Cham! We have lots to do to prepare ourselves for the field including reading several books, taking an online Bible course through World Team, and participating in six weeks of intercultural training. Our formal language study will begin once we arrive in Cambodia, but we have already begun to learn conversational Khmer.
