the Return...

After spending just over a year away from our families and friends, we have eagerly returned home to Canada, our home.  Our time away had given us so many new experiences, and insight into the hidden passions that exist within our hearts.  My eyes have been opened to the many social issues that exist both outside and inside Canada, and I now have a longing and eagerness to be a part of the solution to these issues.  I am not sure just yet how this will look, or when it will occur, but my heart longs to bring change.

As for now, Jeremy and I have decided to return to Place of Rescue in Cambodia.  At this moment we do not have a ticket booked, but we are looking at leaving mid-Novemeber until around April.  Our time at Rescue had opened up a new definition of what LOVE truly means.  All the children living at Rescue have been saved out of devastating situations through God's love, and have been embraced into a large family eager to reign down love on the new addition to Rescue.
On return to Cambodia, we will once again teach English to elementary, junior high, and high school students, as well as some additional teachers.  We are also looking forward to spending our extra time with the children we have left behind and miss so much.

Please partner with us in prayer as we move forward in our immediate future, but also search for direction for our distant future as well.
