Well, today was the busiest day thus far - we ministered to two villages in Osmach, Cambodia which is located just beyond the Thailand/Cambodia border.
After an early rise, we managed a fairly quick pathway through all the passport and visa points to where we were supposed to go. The first village we visited consisted of mainly Khmer people. There were many children who enjoyed the presentation we provided which included a song and a skit. The gift giving was ordered chaos! It was touching to see the delight on the children's faces when they received, but also sad to see their disappointment when we ran out of gifts towards the end.
The second village was smaller in size, but certainly not enthusiasm. The people here are more of a Vietnamese origin. We were all buoyed by the enthusiasm and cooperation of all, especially the adults who chanted towards the climax of our lost sheep skit, and called for an encore of our dramatised version of 'Give Me a Home Among the Gum Trees'.
