Welcome to the Cambodia 2011 blog for the mission trip sent from Houston's First Baptist Church.

Please be praying for God to continually prepare the hearts and minds of Connie, Dan, Jamison, Kristin, Lonnie, Peter, and Sophia as they get ready for the trip, which is now exactly one month away!  That's right, they leave for Cambodia on June 1st.  So invite your friends to connect to this blog that we will be updating every day that we can while we are over there from the Internet Cafes.  We are all still support raising right now, so if you would like to contribute to this trip financially, you can click the link to give electronically HERE.  You can put in the missionaries name in there, and of course the trip is "Cambodia."  As I was studying Matthew this year in Bible study, I came across this passage that I had never thought as referring to rewards for missions supporters before.

In Matthew 10:41-42 it says, "Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward."

So by giving to support the help of missionaries, you are sharing in the work of the missionaries!  Isn't that cool? Not to mention that it will reap a reward in eternity because your reward will be in heaven!

Much love from Christ through us to you!
