For our first-time visitors, in case you don't know, there are 2 ppl in that pix - pretty & handsome, so you can obviously guess which of the two am i! =p

i think it's gonna be a great trip up with the fantastic bunch of people that have volunteered for this trip. being out with young ppl, makes me feel like i'm still in my teens! haha positive benefit there!

so i am isaiah, 26 years of God's grace to be on this earth. by day i work in the financial sector, trying my best to be relevant and a marketplace Christian. at night - i go out with Ms Pretty or play ping pong!

i have to say that i have not been on a mission trip since my last one in 2004 to North East Thailand. and i am totally excited about having another opportunity to spend even just a short time out in the field! all the more cos cambodia is a special place to me, cos that's where pretty & handsome met! =)

at the group level, i look forward to having the opportunity to experience God's blessing through the team, into the people that we will come into contact with. 

personally, i believe trips like this always bring a transformational element into our lives. the last trip was an eventful one for me and through the more challenging situations, it forced me to confront flaws in my character and to be willing to submit them to the Lord as He moulds and changes me. 

this would really be something that i hope for the whole team, that we come away, not just with a stronger understanding for the need for both local and overseas missions, but more that our lives be able to better reflect Jesus Christ as we learn to enjoy being His hands and feet in Cambodia, and even while we learn to work in a different culture, environment and with diverse personalities and strengths and weaknesses!

so i'm totally psyched! let's go have some fun in cambodia! whoo! =)
