We are excited to inform you that we are seeing fruit from our October ‘08 trip to Cambodia! One of our contacts, the Shanti Volunteer Association, has invited us to come back to Phnom Penh in May ‘09 to train parents, teachers, and other volunteers to build BioSand water filters. This organization has built nearly 1000 schools throughout the country. After presenting our mission in October, and after some research on their part, they have decided to implement this technology in all their schools.

This will be a significant labor for the two of us, and a huge opportunity to share the Gospel to hundreds of Cambodians. Shanti (SVA) has already started training the teachers and parents in sanitation and hygiene issues associated with the filter, and we will be providing molds and construction techniques during the month. We will leave in late April, and come back to Colorado when the project looks like it is well underway. This means we could stay several weeks and be traveling to many provinces.

Please pray for us, and if the Lord tells you, we would greatly appreciate your financial support as well. Our tickets will be around $1200 each, and accommodations will be about $15 per night. Translators are $25 per day, and we will need them! Your partnership will make a huge difference in the country of Cambodia.
