Welcome

Welcome! This is a blog to track the mission trip to Cambodia with the Andreaus 2006 group from Pastoral Leadership Institute. We're glad you're here! Please check in and journey along with us as we travel to the country of Cambodia by way of Chicago, Illinois & Seoul, South Korea.

There are 8 of us headed out tomorrow morning. John & Karen from Iowa, George & Donna from Maryland, Paul & LoriRene' from New York, and Paul & Carrie from Illinois. We will meet at Chicago's O'Hare airport and head over non-stop to Seoul, South Korea. There are others we take along with us in our hearts -and that could be you! We are thankful for your support and are glad you are along with us for this journey.

We have collected the funds needed for travel, soccer balls, vitamins, money for water filters and many small toys to deliver to the people we meet. Oh, and can't forget the M&M's! THANK YOU! We know that all of this has been given out of many generous hearts and by the grace of God - May He be praised!

We look forward to meeting with Rev. Rudy Schaser and wife Dorothy as we tour Immanuel Christian School in Broyuk and some of "With God's Little Ones" facilities and partners, including an orphanage in Phnom Penh. Then we will also meet the missionaries we have been planning and working with for what seems such a long time now, Rev. Fungchatou Lo, his wife Kalia, and others like Jesse. They will be our guides, interpreters, and partners in ministry as they lead us around Cambodia learning new things and meeting new people. We look forward to all that is in store for us!

We will leave Phnom Penh late Thursday, Feb. 3 and fly out of Seoul at 11:40am on Friday, Feb 4. The fun part is we are scheduled to land in Chicago at 9:15am the same morning - yikes - real live "time travel" Your prayers are coveted! We are not sure how often or well the internet will work along the way, but we look forward to being able to update this blog. And most of all, we keep you in our hearts, our prayers, and along the journey with us!
