School is in Session (Almost)

We have been so blessed that most of our readers have been on this journey with us since day one and we wouldn't want this special moment to be any different. Most of you know the story of Lahn our spiritual son in Cambodia. You might have read the blog about how we first met and followed his journey of transformation over the past year.

If you haven't heard this incredible story, click here: Lahn's Story

We have continuously been astounded at his rapid growth and his ever increasing hunger for more of God. Last year Lahn wanted to attend Growing Trees Internship, a program offered at New Life Fellowship (an incredible church located in Phnom Penh). Unfortunately the school was full at that time, but that didn't deter him from his passion. Lahn created relationship with one of the pastors and has been volunteering his time helping the church in many ways. It has been an incredible year of learning how to serve leadership, as well as what it takes to be a pastor in day-to-day life. We know that this year was essential to his growing process and we are so thankful that he has had the opportunity to be mentored under such great leadership.

However, as summer starts to wind down and the school year draws closer we have some very exciting news. Lahn has been accepted into the Growing Trees class of 2016. Starting this September just as all your kiddos start back to school, Lahn will get the opportunity to attend this incredible school as well. Growing Trees is a course designed to give the Cambodian people a solid Biblical foundation, teach practical ministry tools, and create a place to learn core values that will shape their lives forever. We are so excited that Lahn has the opportunity to take this course, we know it will be a great step in launching him forward into his calling.

As we approach this school year we would so appreciate your prayers as he begins this new endeavor. If you feel led to join us in prayer: Pray for the teachers and staff of Growing Trees and New Life Fellowship, pray for the students who are signing up for this years class, and pray that these students will transform their culture from the inside out.

Check out the video below to learn more about the Growing Trees course and the things that Lahn will be learning this year. Again, thank you for partnering with us.

Love and Blessings,
