There is such an unexplainable joy within me as I witness how these "Buddhist" Cambodian youths have turned their hearts and focus to Jesus. Each of them has story to tell only when you make time to listen. Numbers of stories are still fresh in my memory when they sweetly whisper or proudly proclaim how they find their new faith to the God who they are now serving . As I intently listen to each of their story, all have something in common that is the subject of unconditional LOVE. The love that they experience from Jesus thru the people who lead them to know more about Him. What is that love that's so intriguing? Love that causes them to go thru discipleship. Love that keeps them as a part of the so called "family".
(Today's Youth Service - Cambodian youths on the stage playing the guitar, leading the praise and worship and beating the drums.)
As I look at them, I utter a simple prayer of thanks to God for the miracle that he has done into the hearts of these young men and women. Before me is the impossible turned to possible ! Yes, it's God's work with man's cooperation. If you enter the place, you can experience the purity and truthful spirit of worship that envelops the place. The youth in front are not performers they are worshipers.

They are being trained for L.I.F.E. - Leadership, Integrity, Faith and Excellence. Their decision to be Jesus' disciple is to make the Word reality in their lives. On top of all the teachings and learning is the heart to willingly obey what it says.
(A shy girl to a powerful prayer warrior!)
(A Khmer who does teaching - He is a man of leadership and humility! A miracle from God!)
(Leaders and local students excitedly share their learnings to the group. This is such a vibrant atmosphere where each one is heard and has spoken their thoughts.)
This is a community where each one is heard, cared and on top of it all - LOVED. This is a display of God's miracle - a miracle authored by Him. No one knows when, where, who and how... But the WHY is because of His unconditional love to everyone regardless of your color, age,.... and nationality.
For all those who are taking part in the labor, "YOUR LABOR IN NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD." for the next generation is rising for LIFE. They are ready to battle starting from the victory to victory.
No man could ever measure the depth and width of God's joy who made all these miracles possible !
Thank you for reading!
