Josiah's Outreach to Cambodia

Josiah would like to travel with Lynnette, this Summer, to Battambang, Cambodia, to serve the YWAM Ministry there. Here is a paragraph from Josiah, explaining his motivation for going.

"High School. This dramatic moment in life that I will be heading into next school year. Going to Cambodia this summer would be an amazing learning experience for me, and would set me up for this big next step in my life. My hope for this trip is that by seeing this place, I would grow in many areas of my life, like deepening my foundation with God, and increasing my compassion. I will also be able to use gifts that God has given me. For example, by helping out at an orphanage, I would be using the gift I have of working with kids. Also, my mom and I have wanted to go on an outreach together for several years. As a triathlete, I have learned that it is a very "me" focussed sport. This is a great opportunity to take the focus off of myself."


Check out the video above, made by University of the Nations Battambang. The video talks about some of the history of Cambodia, the huge percentage of young people (42% under the age of 15), and some of the ways that YWAM is raising up a generation for Jesus.

Would you consider making a donation to help send Josiah and Lynnette to Cambodia? This would go towards airfare, accommodation and food for their time there. They are planning to spend four weeks there in July, before Josiah starts High School.

For those in Kona, we are also planning on doing some local fundraisers (e.g. car washes, garage sales). Josiah is also available as a "Rent a Teen", to help raise money for this trip. MAHALO!
