Got Water?
Now that over $100,000 has been donated and pledged for the Freedom Orphanage Project, work has begun in Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia. Last week, our pastor received the following email from missionary Steve Hyde.
We are in Banteay Meanchey. We put in a well for the kids at their site so that we can help them immediately. The well driller tried drilling on three adjacent properties and got no water. We convinced him to drill on ours...he even wanted to sacrifice to the spirits to get water, but we would not allow. The only well in the area drilled 90 meters for water.
We got water at 23 meters! Great fresh clean water!
It's a miracle!
Thanks for your donations to the orphanage project. 72 Cambodian orphans now have clean water, and they will soon have safe and comfortable housing as well.
This Sunday Will Be A Celebration!
This Sunday Freedom Church will be celebrating as we bring in the donations and pledges that have been promised to the Freedom Orphanage Project. With these funds, we will build an orphanage for 72 orphans in Cambodia that are currently living in two grass and bamboo shelters, and whose only source of water is a muddy pond nearby. We already have over $30,000 to complete the $50,000 project, and that was just in the first week! I'm excited to see what will happen this Sunday! Please share the video below to remind everyone about what we're doing, and who we're doing it for.
Bringing Change to Cambodia
This Thursday, a team from Freedom Church will be heading to Cambodia in the hopes of bringing change to people who desparately need it in their hearts, minds, and lives. The doors that have opened for Christian ministry in Cambodia are nothing less than miraculous. Please pray for our team as they share the love of Christ with their talents, skills, and compassion.
I also want to make you aware of a filmmaker who has traveled to Cambodia to document the need and opportunity there. His name is Josh McKague, and he has done a great job using his talent to make people aware of what is going on in Cambodia. I hope you'll watch the short video below and take time to visit his site at www.joshmckague.com. You can also follow him on Twitter, where I found him at twitter.com/joshmckague.
