Rising Up a Generation

Yesterday we were greeted by 25 teachers to be trained.  Most seemed to be teens and young adults. Remember my earlier post saying half the population is under 25?  We were expecting to do a Pastor training.  I love the adaption that Linda and Becky can make on the fly to accommodate those they are training.  The teachers vigorously took notes.  They were taught how children learn through the 5 senses.  They learned different story telling ideas using the five senses, facial expressions, and tones of voice.  They giggled as they learned simple costume creation and story telling with simple props.  Many of them came in from the province.  It is our prayer that they take these ideas back to their churches and train others.  God is rising up a generation.

I was hoping to take a live Facebook video of the training but I couldn't get service.  I'll work on some photos today.  They are such a beautiful people.

Today will be another hot day.  It is 4:30 am and already 88 degrees (it does wonders for the skin).  Please pray that the trainers are energized today as well as our trainers.  There is a lot of information to finish up today.  

Tomorrow we will be going through a different neighborhood recruiting kids for a new Kid's Club.  Kayla, an american long term missionary, is going to start a kids club out of her home.  She's been our right-hand-woman at the training facility.  We will help her launch it.  In kids club they are multipurpose.  The kids will be provided a safe place to go while there parent's are at work.  This will assist in them not being vulnerable to those who prey on children.  She will teach them simple techniques like washing their hands and hair.  Most importantly they will learn about Jesus Christ. The sparkle in Kayla's eyes when she talked about it showed her love and commitment to the Cambodian people.  Please pray that God will use tomorrow to full capacity for His glory. 

Thank you for praying! Please continue to pray for health.  We are so grateful to Him for keeping us healthy.  Please pray that God would be glorified in everything these 3 days and not wo/man.  Please pray for clear communication and readied hearts.  Please pray that we'd continue to be in step with His will and plan and not ours.  I thank you for praying how the Holy Spirit leads you.  Thank you prayer warriors!
