We leave in 4 days...

Hello! I am going with a group of 9 other friends on a mission trip to Cambodia in 4 days! We are going as a team through the Wesley Foundation on Tech's campus. While we are there we will be working with a group called Asian Hope. You can look them up online to see what they're all about.

As many of you probably know, or maybe don't know, Cambodia is a country that has faced a harsh (to say the least) civil war in the past years that wiped out an entire generation of their people. This generation is the generation of my parents--people who would be middle aged adults today. So basically Cambodia currently has no middle aged adults.

As a mission team we are going over there with PLANS of working with youth. We will be working with a camp at a youth conference, and this work will involve each of us giving various "talks" during the conference to the youth/teens. We are all working on our talks now before we leave.

After the week long conference (which will happen the first week we will be in Cambodia), we will be doing various sorts of vacation bible schools with children. This is the plan for now anyway. I'm sure God has alot in store that we know nothing about.

I am posting this blog to keep friends/family updated on the adventures God uncover in Cambodia. I will have communication HOPEFULLY once a week or so while I am there. I will be there for the entire month of June.

Please pray for safe travels for our team, for good health and organized agenda as God works out all the details of our trip the way He wants them to be. I know He has great plans, and I am ready to be out of my comfort zone and in Cambodia, loving the people who I have never met before. Pray for unity within our team also. Everyone on our team is very different, which causes tension at times. It's good though! Because we have already worked through conflicts together. It's been hard but I know God has a reason for such a diverse group! It's beautiful to see a group of different people come together and serve in unity. Also pray for wisdom for our team leaders, because I'm sure they are and will be experiencing a lot of stress during this time.

Thank you for your prayers and your love.

One last thing- We (with your help) have raised over 63,000 dollars within a few days for all of our mission trips. I don't think it's even been 2 weeks, and people have donated 63,000 dollars.
GOD IS GOOD.
The money is coming in quickly and miraculously, so thank God that He is who He says He is. Thank you for supporting and donating!! Most of that money came through a foward email that we sent last minute. Amazing! He is faithful.

Thank you again for your support and I hope to post last minute updates before we leave on Sunday!
Love, Hailey
