March Praises and Prayer Requests

Praise God that the Khmer Evangelical Church (C&MA Cambodia) elected a new Church President, Rev. Sok Sophon, at their recently completed national conference. There was a good spirit of unity throughout the conference for which we praise God.
Thanks for your prayers for the leadership for the Cambodian field in the year that we are on Home Assignment. The Cambodian field unanimously decided to have a 4 person Field Management Team share the Field Director responsibilities for one year. Please pray for a good transition with the Field Management Team over the next three months before we leave.
In the middle of March, David and several others visited 10 large towns in Cambodia to consider a place where we should invest sending a missionary to live and start a new church. We are specifically looking for a good size town with no Christian witness. Of the 10 large towns we visited, there are 7 that could be good possibilities. Please pray for God’s wisdom as these decisions should be made in the next two months. The Harvest truly is plentiful and the laborers are few.
Pray for Joel as he makes his final decisions about where to attend college next Fall.
