For the Love of the "Khmers"

You may be wondering what is this and why am I blogging about this. Well, this is the map of Cambodia, more aptly called The Kingdom of Cambodia. A citizen of Cambodia is usually identified as Cambodian or "Khmer". My elder sister is there right now with her husband along with two other companions. NO, they are not there as tourists for a vacation, but as missionaries of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Once a year for some years now, the couple would travel to Cambodia, specifically to the province of Battambang, for a month's worth of mission work. Each year they would lead a group of people from different churches in Palawan. In 2007, they brought with them their 3 little boys so they may be able to experience the life of having parents as missionaries. A year before that, my brother-in-law had finally heeded God's calling and decided to become a full-time missionary. Not because he has no better things to do in life. In fact, he resigned from his work abroad as a civil engineer and rejected several job offers. Now, he is based in Cambodia, and my elder sister would go once a year to help him out. My elder sister is also a professional, an educator. She has yet to quit her job. Maybe move their whole family in Cambodia. All in God's time, according to His plans and purposes.
