Photos from MEI team in Phnom Penh

From MEI visits poor area
It was sure great to see the MEI high school team from Abbotsford in PP. Always good to see Henry Z and it was nice to cross paths with Mary-Anne Quiring this time too. Henry seemed a bit more sedate this time (maybe jet lag?) The MEI students seem to be handling the heat reasonably well. Our school had a day off and it worked out well to have our whole family with them for the day and also use the school van as a means of transportation. They started off the day visiting New Life School, a cambodian

christian school (and also a school that many people from Logos have helped build up and support. Including bringing over two of our Teacher Assistants to become the principal and the head teacher.) After lunch MEI visited a slum area in the city. MEI did a great job while visiting and ministering with a drime, praying for people, handing out food and with Joel Reimer leading some singing. Joel Reimer is always a blessing when he comes down here and it was nice to touch base with him too. (Keep praying for him up there in Poipet.)

At the end of the day we let them visit our school for a swim and then off to our house for dinner and some worship time. The group knows how to pack away the Mangos!!!

Thanks to the group for sending along real chocolate chips and some Tim Horton's coffee - really special -many thanks. Also want to say a special thanks to MEI and Tim Smith for sending along a wonderful new volleyball net, jerseys, and some good volleyballs. Those items have been received with great excitement by everyone! Hope the team had a great time in Siem Reap and Poipet!
Blessings,
Dean

Thanks again Leslie, for hosting our group at your home. It was so refreshing!
Enjoyed reading your write-up on our trip through the slum. It was very insightful. Even though it was so poor and dirty, it was great to know that since last July when there was only one Christian family, there are now about 25 Christian families. God is moving there. Prasie Him!
