Thank God it's Friday!
How's everyone doing? If you took Isaiah's suggestion to fast I suppose you should be feeling hungry now :)

So, I'm here to blog by order of big boss Jon Wong about last night's cambo briefing. If you weren't aware of it, now you do :) Yea we had one with... some other people who are also going to cambodia. Till now I still don't really know why I was there since I make a lousy secretary. I wasn't able to catch a lot of stuff that were being discussed, but what I did manage to catch I'm now here to present.

Brief Overview of what we're doing
5 Dec
Upon arrival in Cambodia, we would head for an orphanage somewhere in Kampong Chhnang (I think?) approximately a 6hours drive away. The ride would be quite bumpy (someone described it like driving on the moon) though it should be better now. So people who get motion sickness easily like Shalom may want to bring some pills?
- We'll probably conduct some programme for the kids there.
Then we'll stay overnight, which I heard would be an interesting experience for many of us. This would be the most uncomfortable stay in the whole trip I should think. Although if you love lizards, mosquitoes, bugs and what not, you'll love it at this "many stars hotel" :)

6 Dec
- Full-day programme for either the children or youth and possibly some ministering.
Overnight again at the same place. If you're scared of the dark please bring a BIG torchlight :)

7 Dec
- Conduct sunday service there.
Then we're off to the capital city of Cambodia, Phnom Penh!

8 to 10 Dec
What we'll be doing there have yet to be confirmed. A Christmas programme possibly?
At least we will be having better accommodations if that's a cause for concern :)

11 Dec
R&R!! :D

Things that were highlighted
- Drink packet-ed mineral water instead of their water. Unless you think you have a strong stomach :)
- Dressing. NO SHORTS. Yep, this again. This time it was brought up by the other people in attendance. Instead of arguing about the shorts length, let's just agree to stick to berms and jeans or track pants? Makes life easier. No sleeveless tops either.
- Money. We may have to pay more than what was estimated due to a rise in the price of food, petrol and what not. All the more we should work hard during this Sunday's car wash!

Someone who had been to the orphanage we're going to on the first day said that really, what these kids want is love. Even though they don't get to eat a lot, when we come what they want is not just our money nor our food. What they want is a smile, a hug, our attention, for us to play with them. What they want, is Love. And that's what we're there for right? To spread the love that we have unrestricted access to. Like the shirt design we agreed on, it's only LOVE that can make the world complete.

Lest we forget, when we're fighting battles for God, the enemy is not going to sit back and do nothing either. It's thus important that we start praying and fasting now as we prepare for the trip. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

41 more days to Cambodia!
Be prepared!
For greater things are yet to come! :)
