CAMBODIA MISSION IS HERE.........
The Louisiana Volunteers in Mission (VIM) mission to Cambodia leaves from New Orleans on October 21. The five team members from St. Andrew's are Harold Choate, David & Jeanie Howell, Larry O'Dell and Ken Musick. Other team members are Chuck Reynolds, Mary Holland, and Dorrit White. The generous hearts of many have provided a major portion of the project fee that will cover the entire cost of a 5-day men's retreat plus provision of construction materials for work projects at rural churches the second week
we are there. This will be the first time ever the men of the Methodist church in Cambodia have gathered. Lay and clergy from all 10 districts throughout the country will gather together to learn God's work and learn how to provide Christian leadership in the home and the church. The first week while the men are at the conference, the women will be working in the Global Ministries office. Many have contributed through your prayers and financial support. ...THANK YOU! We look forward to sharing this experience with our friends and family. Keep us in your prayers as we are traveling from October 21 and returning November 4.

As you leave tomorrow, I send you an Irish Blessing:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Amen.
Love you all (especially Chuck!)

I was curious about the flight. It's 27 hrs 6 minutes from New Orleans (MSY) to Phnom Penh, KH (PNH)for $1235 on tripadvisor. That's a long time.
