It is a privilege to be God’s messenger and caring hands to some of the poorest suffering in Cambodia. We clearly explain the loving gospel of Jesus Christ as God’s plan of salvation to each patient. We pray with them for healing and comfort. As before, I work when back in the USA so I can provide my own funding for any personal expenses. 100% of your donated funds are used for patient care. We are a 501c3 tax exempt organization. Thank you for your past donations and continued support to include praying God’s wisdom for me in prioritizing spending. And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday. And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. Isaiah 58:10-11
