Pray for Cambodia

I keep on reminding myself that this preparation to getting to Cambodia is a PROCESS!
Over the last few weeks I have been trying super hard to get everything ready to send out to churches and friends. Right now I am in the process of gather names of those who would like to recieve my prayer letters and more information about Action Cambodia. If you would like to be a part of this mailing or you'd like to support me as I prepare to be a missionary long-term in Cambodia, you can check out the Action International website at http://www.actionintl.org/ and look for my name : Jen Duff under Missionaries :).

Just want to give God glory on a few things He has been doing in my life:
1-He is growing me as I read His Word
2-He is allowing me to get to know the team in Cambodia more via email :) They are great! I hope you each can meet them one day!
3-He has provided a college student from BBC (because of his parents business) to provide all the printing for my support letters and prayer cards!
4-He allowed my mom to be here for almost a week for Ladies LYFE (living your faith everyday) Conference here at BBC. It was a sweet time of fellowship in His Word together.
5-My parents will be here the 2nd week of July for Volunteers week at BBC and I'll get to see them everyday for a week! :)
6-I had my first church meeting 2 tuesdays ago, it was both affirming and encouraging
7-For the Huteks who are graciously welcoming me into their home while I raise support!

Here are some prayer requests:
1-I will need to go to PILAT (Language school) in Colorado before going to Cambodia. Pray for funds to go ($1500 plus plane ticket there) and when I should go
2-That God would allow me to finish strong at BBC. That He would allow me to recruit many students to go into full time ministry.
3-For a part-time job in MI when I move out there in September 2008
4-For all the TRANSITIONS...for my family as I leave, for me as I get adjusted to a new culture, for my friends here in Clarks Summit that I will be leaving.
5- That in His Timing I would raise my support to go to Cambodia
6-For the salvation of those that I work for in Scranton
7-For God to work out the arrangements for this summer in some specific areas that I am praying about.


I know this is just a snapshot of life here in Clarks Summit, but I wanted to get some info out there so you could be in the know! I am so thankful for each of you! I know that you are praying for me! I am so grateful!!

Until the Shout,

Jen :)

well it has been almost 2 months since I've been back from Cambodia. Funny how life doesn't slow down, just because you are gone. I have had many days to pray and think through..."What Next?" I feel so blessed to be his child...His little girl. The fact that I am HIS pocession amazes me!
Since Cambodia, I had the opportunity to be the Sales Director for Ladies LYFE, a conference held for women at BBC. It was neat to see all the hard work of planning what to sell in the store, and then having the ladies purchase these items. All the $ from the sales went to scholarships for young ladies at BBC who are studying for full-time ministry. We were able to raise $13,000 in scholarship! :) It was awesome to have my mom here for the 2nd weekend. God really did give me great parents. It was fun to hang out with mom, she is such a blessing to me! Fun side note: She won the grand prize at the ladies retreat..DIAMOND EARINGS! (no this was not rigged..lol). She also helped me with a garage sale that we had the day she left. it was good to get rid of junk and put a little bigger dent in my school debt. :) whoo hooo beep beep!

I am currently hosting a Bible Study for College and Career class in my house on Wednesday nights. we have a bout 10-15 people there each week. It has been good to have that fellowship!

So what now?
I have heard from ActionCambodia and have began to step out in faith and began the process of applying. I hope to talk to my former pastor sometime this week :). I kept in contact with the ActionCambodia missionaries (BECKS), as well as the ABWE missions(CADYS). I am fervently trying to pay off my school loan to make myself financially available to serve on the mission field.

How can you pray? (thanks for asking ;) )

-Pray that I would be able to pay off my Student loans at a more rapid rate. (praise I am able to work on Saturdays at my fun babysitting job! :) )
-Pray for the His Word would dwell in me richly! I want to be close to HIM!
-Pray that I would have wisdom to know what mission's agency to have come alongside the church that sends me.
-Pray that I would have the $ and time off work for Action's Seminar Class in Washington (state) September 11-14th (if this is what God wants)
-Pray for me as I prepare for what God has in store.
-Pray that I would be an effective Admissions Counselor here at BBC. Able to build good relationships with my applicants, saftey as I travel the NY, New England, PA area this fall, good times with the Lord as I travel alone for many hours in the car :).

I appreciate your prayers and input in my life! I am one blessed lady! Our God is Sooooo GOOD!

Until the Shout,

jen duff :)
