A new day dawns in Phnom Penh.Early morning 5:15 AM workout. Think I can be like the guy behind me in two weeks?The “A” Team ready to go on an encouraging expedition.But first, coffee and Bible study before hitting the road.Traffic is always fun with near death experiences at every intersection (I’m not joking).This guy found a good place to take his 10 minute break.Hello? AT&T? I’m having problems with my reception.Boys of summer.Chimran, was recently deported. Arrived last Thursday. Homesick, scared and absorbed with culture shock. We prayed with him and gave him hope!Kuhl (cool name) arrived three weeks ago. Deported from Los Angeles.Listening to his story.
He sees better days ahead. Is willing to give himself a new start in Cambodia.Condo for sale. Riverfront view. Affordable.Empty bottles ready to filled with pure…tap water.A special find in the city! Mama came here about 12 years ago from the Bronx.Oh my. I have already confessed.My buddy, Mout. He’s an encourager and finder of jobs for the deportees.We picked up Sa along the way. Went to my high school in Long Beach. Deported in January.Sa joined our “A” Team later in the day.Figuring out our strategy.Two great encouragers! Chantha and Mout.
Roger help me understand this, These guys are deported, I am to assume they were here illegally and in that not by choice but because parents brought them and raised them here and its the only life they know.. When we have a state full of illegals and they are not being deported back to Mexico, I don’t get it, Its so wrong, my heart goes out to these young men.
