Thailand/Cambodia Trip

Catherine Walker and Samantha Crowder (cat writing here) are representing the LIFTED team as we visit Stef May to see what Remember Nhu (www.remembernhu.org) is doing in Asia and will spend time doing quite a few things including visiting the Red Light districts, the Pol Pot museum in Cambodia, going to the slums in Phnom Penn, visiting a temple, spending time at an orphanage for kids with AIDS, and will spend time visiting several Remember Nhu homes in both Thailand and Cambodia. This blog will be a hub for us while we are there to update you on whats happening as well as include prayer requests. You can look forward to pics and hopefully some video.

Just to let you know, here is a schedule of when we will be going where:
(keep in mind that we will be 12 hours ahead of you!)

Friday January 22-Fly out Friday morning from RDU
Saturday January 23 Arrive in Bangkok, Thailand just before Midnight
Sunday January 24th-Fly to Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Thursday January 28th-Fly back to Bangkok, Thailand
Saturday January 30th-Fly to Chiang Mai
Thursday February 4th-overnight train back to Bangkok
Saturday February 6th-fly home and arrive in Raleigh on the 6th as well.

Of course there are a lot of thoughts going through our heads right now, and we're pretty busy. I don't really know how to summarize everything I'm thinking now. Stef just visited with girls in the bars last night in Thailand and gave us an update. Reading her update both gave me joy and a sense of even more of the seriousness of what we are doing and how I feel called to go. We know we're in the Lord's hands & are truly trusting him to do things in us that we know we can't do on our own. We're also trusting the LORD to do some big things in us especially to dispel our fears and replace them with His Love.

Please pray for us and pray that the rest of our funds come in. We still need a few thousand dollars more.
