Khmer Girls

Colin and Julie-April's son and his wife- will be leaving to be permanent missionaries in Cambodia around the end of the year. They have made several trips to the region over the last year. The photo that this painting was painted from is from one of thier trips. God seems to be moving in the area drawing the people to relationship with Jesus. This move of the Holy Spirit is among the youth. The average age in Cambodia is 18. The Khmer rouge under Pol Pot murdered a significant portion of the previous generation in the infamous "killing fields". At the time that Pol Pot began his murder spree the Church in Cambodia was in revival. Ninety percent of that church was tortured and killed. If you are interested in knowing more about the history of the Church in Cambodia, you might read, "Killing Fields, Living Fields" written by Don Cormack. Colin and Julie will be assisting the local church in the raising up and equipping of the next generation of native leadership. To learn more about Colin and Julie and the work that they have been called to do in Cambodia, please visit thier website by using the link on this home page or at www. colinandjulie.net.
