Dear Praying Friend and Family,
After a long, bitter, cold winter, it is refreshing to welcome spring at last. Flowers and buds are pushing their way from the ground, showing vibrant colors, despite the cold weather in South Jersey. As Easter approaches, it is a great reminder that seasons change, and life circumstances do too, but God remains faithful and steadfast…

Counting Down…
With the arrival of spring, we are counting down the days remaining until we return to the mission field with great anticipation to begin another three-year term serving in northern Cambodia. We have the tickets scheduled to return on May 31st from Philadelphia International Airport. In light of the ongoing war in the Middle East, we pray that nothing will hinder our travel plans. Also, many ministry opportunities await us upon arrival and we ask that you earnestly pray with us for wisdom, discernment, and clear direction as we embark on Cambodian ministries this summer, especially those related to return and restoration of war refugees in the northwest region of Cambodia. As of now, there are still about 80,000 Cambodian war refugees who are living in refugee shelters because their homes and properties were either destroyed or taken during the December Cambodian-Thailand border clashes…
Date & Events Needing Your Prayers…
1. March 25-April 6, we will be visiting friends and relatives in Atlanta, GA, and then in Tacoma, Washington State. Pray that our visits will be sweet as we say goodbye and that the trips go smoothly despite the challenges with TSA at many airports.
2. Justin and family are still on schedule to return from the Middle East to Minnesota in mid-April, traveling with three small children and a pregnant wife. Pray for safety and smooth transitions. We can hardly wait to see them in the Stateside at the end of May…

3. April 14-16 is a three-day festive Khmer New Year in Cambodia, the year of the horse of the Cambodian lunar calendar. It marks the end of a dry season, involves religious ceremonies, traditional games, and lively water fights. Because people tend to celebrate this holiday in wild and festive ways, they often have accidents and fights as a result. Pray for safety and protection for all…
As you celebrate the Resurrection Day of our Risen Lord, may the miracle of Easter bring you renewal, hope, faith, love, and joy. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
Because He lives,
