Day 2 in Bangkok

First thing in the morning the Interns received a Truth Challenge. Where they would take time to learn about the culture and information about the country of Thailand. The team had the chance to go to the Grand Palace and take a tour of this beautiful place. Later on that afternoon we had the opportunity to go to a English exchange center where you can go and speak with Thai students to practice their English, and talk about any subject you’d like. The team had a complete blast! They loved creating relationships with the students. Check out the photos below!

Day 1 in Bangkok

The day started pretty early as we got up to catch our flight from Cambodia to Thailand. We arrived in Bangkok at around 12:00 noon. After getting settled into the hotel, the team was so excited to be in Bangkok and have the chance to see some of the city! We spent the last half of the day shopping and just enjoying seeing Thailand!

Last Day in Cambodia

Sunday morning we attended a service at the local church that we’ve been working with. The team performed the drama “Bondage,” and Greg Baca shared a word in season. After church the teams went out to their final ministry sites while in Cambodia. We had the chance to minister in some villages, and it was a perfect end to the 3 days we had in this beautiful country. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to spend time in the villages surrounding Kampong Thom and love on the people there. What a beautiful place!

Discovering the Next Destination

The night before, the Interns received a Travel Clue saying: “Tomorrow at 7am we will travel to one of the ancient wonders of the world, Angkor Wat! Surrounded by a moat stretching in the length of two football fields. Choose to explore these grounds either by foot or on the back of an elephant.”
The next morning, the day started at 7:00 am and we drove from the village we were staying in to Angkor Wat, which was 2 hours away.  After arriving at Angkor Wat, the team was ready to explore and see this beautiful world wonder. Little did they know, that they were about to start a Travel challenge that would reveal their next country destination!

As a team, they would thoroughly search the grounds of Angkor Wat to find 6 puzzle pieces that when put together, would reveal their next country destination! After an hour and a half of searching the temple, the team found all 6 of the puzzle pieces. They all gathered together, and worked as a team to assemble the puzzle that when put together, was a word spelled out in Khmer (the language spoken in Cambodia).  After getting the puzzle translated, they found out the puzzle read: THAILAND.

Cambodia Day 2

Everyone is already falling in love with Cambodia! In the morning we headed out for the second day of ministry to some villages an hour and a half away to perform dramas and love on the people there. Some of the team members had the opportunity to spend time with and minister to a woman who had never heard of Jesus before. She invited them into her house and asked the team members to pray for her newborn twin babies. They then were able to share the Gospel with her for the very first time, and she accepted Jesus into her heart!

After an incredible day of ministry spent in the villages, the team headed back to the town in which we are staying. That evening one of our team members, Lauren Tohline, had the chance to speak an encouraging word to college-aged Cambodian Bible school students.

The team had the opportunity to participate in a language exchange at an English speaking school that is operated out of the church we are working with, as well as minister in a Bible school. They had a chance to build relationships, and take time to get to know the Cambodian students! We are blown away that this is only the second day of the trip, and it has already been such an incredible time of ministry.

Day 1 in Cambodia

Today was our first full day in Cambodia! The day started off with a travel clue and the interns found out they would be leaving the capital city of Phnom Penh and traveling 4 hours away where they would be ministering in the villages of Kampong Thom.  After we arrived to the village we visited a local orphanage and got to have lunch and play with the children. After lunch we had the opportunity to visit a youth service where multiple youth groups from the surrounding villages gathered for a Christmas party. We performed the drama called “bondage” and the band also performed a song. We left the youth service and traveled to a nearby village where we were able to share the gospel message and many people received Christ for the very first time.
