The 2011 Cambodia construction team will be embarking on a journey to Battambang Cambodia this May. We will endeavor to complete multiple construction projects at an orphanage filled with 38 amazing children....The Adventure Awaits.....
Adventure is often defined as an exciting or unusual experience...or may be defined as a bold, often risky undertaking, where the final outcome remains unknown. Traveling to the other side of the planet, in and of itself, is an adventure. The same could be said of working on multiple construction projects in the extremely hot, humid, tropical environment of Cambodia. For the team members, leaving family and loved ones... leaving the comfort of our homes and everyday existence could also be defined by the word adventure. The word 'adventure' fits and defines a journey to Cambodia in many facets......
But....'Real' adventure will be defined in the journey of our hearts. Experiencing love and acceptance pouring out of the children is beyond exciting....it is intoxicating, it is extravagant! Witnessing joy, that can only radiate from God, reflected in amazing clarity, through the eyes of a child....to say the least, is unusual. Embarking on a journey into our heart is bold, it is risky, and the outcome is unknown. When you experience extravagant, intoxicating love..... When you witness pure joy emanating from the heart of an orphan that surpasses all depths of your understanding, .....When your hand is held by a child .... and that simple embrace from a tiny hand crushes the very fabric and understanding of your own soul....That is where the adventure begins....that is where adventure is experienced....that is where life change happens.... that is where you begin to experience true purpose. The Adventure Awaits.....It is hard to be satisfied with existence, once you've tasted PURPOSE
