Sometimes I forget that I look different…that I don’t blend in…that I’m not Cambodian. This is where we belong. But it hit me one day as we were driving to church. I was looking out the window at views that have become “normal” to us…then it hit me: I’m not Cambodian. No one looking in our window thinks we look “normal.” And we never will. We’re different. Our skin is light, our noses are pointier, we sound different…and WHOA we have three “different” looking little kids.

This is one thing that makes the body of Christ so refreshing. In Christ we are one – there is no Jew or Gentile: One Lord, one faith, one baptism. We have come to Cambodia to further His kingdom. The fact is that we are all strangers in this world, and we look forward to our heavenly home where we will stand with people from every tribe and nation free from distractions of differences but joined together in worshipping our Lord.

The picture above is of our friend Sherif. Sherif is an Arab man who left his country nine months ago because he became a follower of Christ. He has been told if he returns to his home town, he could be killed. Please pray with us that he will grow in Christ and that the Lord would provide for his needs as he starts to rebuild his life. Please pray for wisdom for Josh as he meets once a week with Sherif to study the Bible.
