Welcome !!!

We hope you will check out our site frequently and be a part of our journey as we share our joys,concerns,progress,prayer requests,etc....!!! We are all so excited to be going, and thankful to be given this opportunity to serve in Cambodia for two weeks in January.I f we are to be honest along with the decision to go, comes nervousness,doubts,fears, and sacrifices.This we are finding is all part of the journey !!! It draws us closer to God as we give over these concerns to Him and also it has helped strengthen us as a team. We have had many opportunities to praise as we have seen God working. He has surprised us in big ways and in small quiet ways....He is awesome!!!

We have been meeting regularly praying...planning..preparing..training ..learning about cross culture missions..reading.. and we have all had our own assignments.We have talked to Joel Stewart, who we will be working with in Cambodia ,many times. We are working on getting Joel live via skype on the big screen some Sunday morning soon... so stay tuned!!!

Joel told us last we talked that he thinks he has come up with a construction project for us.....many of us are very excited about this. We have a team that has a wide variety of all different types of skills so it will be exciting to see the Lord work and use us.

Last, but certainly not least, we really, really need prayer support from all of you! We have a few people going who have health concerns to to deal with .We want to serve faithfully .We may be the ones going but it is our desire for all of you to be a part of of the sending out.We are being sent to encourage Joel and the Church of Changed Hearts in Preah Vihear just as the churches of the New Testament sent people out (on foot!!) to encourage Paul and other missionaries! I'm glad we get to fly although it is a looooooong flight ..about 23hrs !!

Please pray and visit this blog often. We will hopefully soon have an update on our Chick fil a fundraiser, thanks to all.... it was fun!!! We will have all the other members of the team share on this blog, their own ups and downs as we move along in this process and also as we are in Cambodia!!!!

Thanks Again.....Love Patti Lyons
