Cambodia, India and Egypt

Already a month and a half is gone, and I can barely believe all the things I have experienced and learned! Cambodia was a blessing - especially the joy of the people in spite of their tragic history. I have no specific highlight, because even the "not so nice" experiences (like visiting the garbage dump community) were very enriching. However, we had many fun moments as a team and also together with the Khamer people. India is a different story...chaotic, smelly, dirty, almost godforsaken. Yet, I have never " seen" God so clearly as in the lives of the dedicated orphans at Emmanuel and I never had a Christamas so close to God as when one of my fellow team mates and I got lost in the Himalayas on Christmas Day, in search of snow - we desperately wanted a White Christmas! Now we are in Egypt, resting and studying the stories of the ancient people of God who lived close to where we are now. What a priviledge to be touring with Global Challenge and God, my best friend!
