The past week has been a whirlwind of new places and new ideas. My team and I (Kirsten) are now in Phnom Penh, staying at a beautiful hostel and taking the day to recuperate a little. With a little extra time, I am going to try to condense some of our recent thoughts so that hopefully you all can benefit from what we've been learning and discussing as well.
Approximately 1.2 million children a year are sold into the sex trade. Southeast Asia represents almost 1/3 of the global sex trade. That's a problem. Jesus said that he was sent to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and to release the oppressed. In Him there is healing and love. That's a solution. Three college kids with a couple of backpacks, a video camera, hands willing to help, and Jesus...hoping to help bridge the gap between the problem and the solution in Southeast Asia.

Everybody's got a water buffalo... yes, it's true!
Phnom Penh. Craziness from start to finish.
It began with a beautiful train ride from Bangkok to the border town- we arrived at the station at 5 am by faith that there was a train was leaving at 6 (we had seen it somewhere on the internet, but had NO idea when the blog was written and if it was still correct).
