Into the Fields - A Vision Tour

Welcome to Into the Fields - A Vision Tour

We are so excited to be offering this next tour as we sense the urgency of responding to God's calling.

We'll be going into Phnom Penh and working with Destiny Rescue, helping them at the day care center they provide for children under the age of five in one of the poorest areas of the city.
Then, we'll be able to actually spend time with these children's mothers, ministering to them in practical ways and showing God's love through service and testimony.
We will tour the Killing Fields where Pol Pot's destruction of this nation was unearthed and also visit the palace where the King stays when he's in country.

We will also enjoy coffee and cake at Bloom Cafe.  A ministry that Ruth and Murray Lawrill established two years ago to train underprivileged girls in cake making and decorating giving them a suitable income as well as adding value to their lives through the love and hope they bring to  these girls.
We'll travel to Siem Reap and view Angkor Wat one of the most beautiful wonders of the ancient world.
We'll work with orphanages and schools and become immursed in Camboidan culture.

PURPOSE:  TO ENLIGHTEN AND MOBILIZE WOMEN TO PRAY, GIVE AND GO

Jesus said that the fields were ripe unto harvest and that we should pray that God would send laborers into those fields.  There is so much work to be done in the nations less fortunate than ours  and God has raised up ministries in which the captives are being set free but it takes His hands and feet to accomplish this task and our desire is to help you see the needs and to find out where God’s heart is for you.  None of us have the option to do nothing! Jesus said He came to heal the broken- hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of prisons to those who are bound.  If we are truly his hands and feet then this is what we must be about as well because this is where His heart is. Cambodia is a lovely enchanting nation but the spirit of these people has been devastated by the atrocity of genocide, and the ensuing years of hunger and poverty in a nation where illiteracy is rampant due to the dispelling or murder of the intelligentsia during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. School is not mandatory and it is above the average worker’s means. Many boys go into the monastery to be schooled as reading and writing their own language will assure them a job.  Learning English will enable them to earn a good living but it is $100.00 US to take an English speaking course and that is out of reach for most Cambodians.

However, there are ministries that will teach English but they too need funding. And they are desperate for teachers.

Every child in the outlying villages of Phnom Penh is at risk of  being sold or stolen into sex-slavery; both boys and girls. Families that are starving will sell one of their children for enough rice to feed the rest of the children.  Families are also tricked into selling children to work as factory laborers or in laundries but the truth behind that is that these predators will actually sell the children to brothels.

There are several organizations that rescue children from the bondage of prostitution but they need help to house, feed and clothe the rescued as well as train them to be skillfull workers so they can earn a decent wage and remain free.  Almost 90% of the rescued prostitutes go back into the brothels within a year of being set free because they are so traumatized by their freedom and can’t maintain a job or can’t find a job that pays as well. The cry for counselors is great in these ministries.

For the families that live in dump cities, schooling and childcare is needed so that the gathering of rubbish is not the next generation’s legacy.  There are organizations that sponsor free day care for these women who collect trash but they are in desperate need of larger facilities and workers as well.  2 years ago I visited a day care center in a dump city outside of Phnom Penh and they had 20 children and 2 workers; today they have 81 children and need workers desperately.  Just to bathe these children and feed them is an all day job and it may be the only time they are ever bathed, and for many, the only time they are fed each day.

Aids and venereal disease is wide spread and most of the aids infected women have lost their husbands and some have lost their children to aids, they live on the streets and continue to transmit the disease as they have no other way of supporting themselves. They are all destined to die from this disease without Christ if we who can do something……do nothing.

Our challenge is this:  Will you pray?  Will you intercede for the needs of these nations that cannot help themselves? 1) Will you give 15 minutes a day up to God for them?  Interceding and standing in the gap for people who God loves that cannot help themselves?  2)  Will you give?  Would you miss $30.00 a month that perhaps you spend on coffee or on a movie if you thought it would free another human being from slavery?  3) Would you raise funds for others to go that feel called to join one of these ministries?  There are so many mission-hearted servants that would gladly obey the call but they need our help to be God’s hands and feet;  And,  finally, Would you go? Would you like to journey with us into the heart of these ministries for 10 days and see if God is directing your heart to give a month, three months, a year of your time or perhaps the rest of your life?  I said it would be a challenge!

We would like to offer you the opportunity to seek the vision that God is birthing in you according to your own talents, gifts and passions. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity  to share what I believe is God’s heart for His body right now.

Matt.9:37 scroll down

Jesus said to His disciples: “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray the Lord of the Harvest will send forth laborers into His fields.”
