November 2017:
Prek Ho
,
Cambodia

iLive Cambodia operates two key projects: Stars of Peace, a program for children under five; and RESTORE for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. These ministries work to help build the family unit in order to give Cambodians a strong foundation.

Church on the Rock is partnering with iLive Cambodia and this was their first trip to serve in Cambodia. The team assisted in repairing homes for families living in poverty in the community of Prek Ho, and also hosted a youth camp for local youth to help them understand who they are in Christ.

Symbol of Hope

Oh man! Today was our last day on the work site. As I think back to our first day on the work site, and where we ended up there is much to say.

Thankful

I'm thankful to God for placing me with this group in Cambodia. That our lives do count. We can make a difference, letting the Lord stretch and test our relationship with him.

Be Still and Know He Has a Plan

After a great start yesterday to the foundation of the new home build, today's work was slow to start but a reminder to be still and that God is in control.

“It Is What It Is”

How do you write in a short blog every thought of this trip? It seems a task too daunting, but one that we are more than glad to take as we reflect on what God has been doing in Cambodia.

When it Rains

As I reflect on today, I am reminded of God’s goodness and his faithfulness. Today was our day off. I will admit, I wrestled with the idea of having an off day.
