Children at Risk (Battambang - Cambodia) Video

As most of you know, Cambodia has left an imprint on my heart, and will always tug my heart strings. This video was created by the Battambang (North East Cambodia) University of Nations (YWAM's tertiary study facility, similar to our TAFE, University, etc.), where it represents just a snipit of what Cambodia is like and the need that has not yet been filled in Cambodia, as well as other parts of the world!

This is something I know I am on this planet to do. What I cannot do physically, monetarily, or spiritually; I can do with the gifts God has given me. I want to genuinely care for those who are looking for love and a purpose in life. Whilst I still have not worked out what my purpose in life is yet, I am using what I have, and hoping God fills in the rest.

If we each do what we can, who knows what the world would look like!

Excitement has been unleashed.

The YWAM Compassion DTS teams have been announced and released. It's kind of exciting but scary at the same time.

The two teams that the Compassion DTS are being sent to are as follows:
Team A: Toowoomba and Cambodia - 2 weeks in Toowoomba helping with flood relief and setting up the new YWAM base, and 8 weeks in Cambodia.

Team B: Latvia and Russia - 5 weeks in Latvia and 5 weeks in Russia.

This is all the information that has been released to this date, but it is exciting. It is also going to make it harder to be able to define my ambitions and God's desires. I don't think I have ever fully recovered my heart after going to Cambodia the first time, but I only want to go if I am 100% sure that is where God wants me to go. I also drive for the sense of adventure... of exploring new places, and that is where Russia and Latvia have a little bit of a kick in the side as well.

So at this moment, I am putting my thoughts of YWAM off for one week and just digging into God's Word. I want to be on fire for Him first and to have no one but Him as my source of life. So this blog will not be updated for a week, unless there is urgent news and a flame is turned into a bonfire! Until next week, GBUG
