The day started out with breakfast and a devotion lead by Will Tilley. We headed then to the boardroom and talked about what not to do in Cambodia. Then the surprise happened. Ever heard of the Great Race? Well, Frank and Kelly prepared the “Penang Race” for us. Giving each team a cell phone and a map of the city, we experienced the culture of Malaysia and at each turn we had a chance to discover how to get a taxi, riding in a Rickshaw, and try new fruit. The experience lasted over 5 hours.

When we got back from the adventure we slowed down and headed back to the boardroom. We learned that up until this point there has not been any REAL Youth EE in Cambodia. The Youth EE book has just been translated into Khmer (the Cambodian language) last month and we are the first group to use it in a clinic. We also learned how unique our mission is. Usually mission trips have a picture of roof to take back to their church but we will be building into the kingdom.

Tomorrow we leave for Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Pray for us as we travel. Pray for Frank, Kelly, and Steve (their missionary intern) as they organize this clinic and prepare. And pray for the kids, that they continue to learn what it means to be in this country and to be flexible with the schedule and culture that surround them
