Pioneer Training Camp

This past week marked the beginning of our mission to Cambodia. We were able to spend a week of intense training at Mount Moriah Christian Camp. This Pioneer Training Camp was filled with practical and helpful sessions. We received training on everything from making balloon animals to airport procedures. We even received many hours of instruction on conducting Neighborhood Bible Clubs. On Tuesday through Thursday, we were able to put this training into practice and conduct a Bible Club. The Lord brought in one girl who realized her need of a Savior. She received Jesus Christ as her personal Savior as a result of attending the Bible Club. Praise the Lord!

Each day of camp brought new surprises and something new to learn. Activities included painting, setting up chairs, physical training, cooking, cleaning, and even picking strawberries - we learned so much from every experience. We are so thankful for each person who gave of their time and effort to be a help and an encouragement.

Monday, May 25, we were able to see most of the Pioneers head out on the road. This was a time of sad goodbyes, but hopeful anticipation of how the Lord will bless each team's efforts this summer. We know that if any of us try to go in our own strength, we have failed. As New Testament Church Pioneers, our goal is to be fully dependent on God and allow Him to do a work that only He can do. Please pray for us as we fly out tomorrow morning at 6:10 a.m.
