MEI comes to PP

From meicambodiateam

What a great time to visit with the MEI team! It was short but very sweet. The team made such a great impact here at our school. Over 40 kids raised their hands and gave their lives to Christ after they witnessed MEI perform the Drimes and heard the message of the Gospel. I am amazed. I couldn't believe that many kids opened their hearts and took the message in. Literally one particular student who, only days earlier, said the message of Jesus is a waste of time, came to the front and accepted Jesus. Very Powerful.

I love the fact that as an administrator, I can leave the school and go around Phnom Penh with the group. The team visited a local Khmer school and even there, many kids came forward and accepted Jesus and asked for prayer! The Lord is using the team as they are adding many souls to the kingdom of heaven.

We all had a chance to visit the garbage slums where families work and live as squatters. There is a local pastor Ross who lives beside the dump and takes kids in and gives them some education. The MEI group played with these kids and made them smile and laugh.
MEI also left some clothing for pastor Ross to distribute. Afterwards, pastor Ross took us through the dump area and allowed us to see what it is really like for these kids and their families. It is a very sad place to witness. The kid's feet are cut up, bleeding and their skin is in poor condition.
That is what we do see, I can't imagine what we can't see. Yet these kids, even there, are just smiling and laughing as they receive balloons. They are kids after-all with a terrible circumstance. With a guilty feeling, I really couldn't help but think how fortunate I was to leave this place.
Finally, we enjoyed having the whole team over for dinner at our place and before we knew it, the night was through. Our family is sooo thankful for all their prayers and the Canadian items. It was so nice to have regular Costco items in our cupboards. We really do appreciate it.

Anyways, there are many pics from the MEI team, so I will leave them for you to consider.
