Hi all,
Well it is still a bit surreal, but after lots of emails, prayer and phone calls the decision has been made. Graham, Fiona, Naomi and Nathan are heading to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to work for a small Christian Mission based School called Hope International School, (http://www.hopeschool-cambodia.org/).
Graham and I visited Cambodia in October 2006 with Nowra Anglican College to build houses in association with the Tabitha Foundation. (http://www.tabithafoundationaustralia.com/) We developed a heart for the place, saving to return in the short term, for a short time.
One of the most challenging bible passages to me is when Jesus instructs his disciples to "pray that the Lord of the harvest would send out harvesters into the harvest field", and the very ones who pray this, are the ones who are sent. God has a way of taking our prayers seriously and blessing such hopes and dreams.
Time will still tell, of how, and when, this will eventuate, but I will keep you posted.
Pray for guidance as we minimise our possessions..
Fiona

We understand what you are going through with "minimising possessions"! We are preparing for another move - and have the "advantage" of realising there are things we have moved in the last six months that we will not use again - for instance all those books!
