the Prossers in Cambodia: MFI Cambodia

About two weeks ago, we found out that there was going to be an MFI conference in Singapore. Unfortunately, we found out about it just under a week before it was supposed to start. However, because Jetstar Airlines has cheap flights and because of the generous hospitality of some of our Singaporean friends, I was able to go at the last minute. I also don’t want to overlook the most important reason that I was able to go, and that was because Angie graciously agreed to hold the fort while I was gone. She is a champion!

MFI stands for Minister’s Fellowship International and it is an association of church leaders from around the world. It was started at City Bible Church in Portland, Oregon and it is one of the avenues that led to us being in Cambodia since our church in Hamilton is also a part of MFI. Angie and I have been members of MFI since 2006 and have really been blessed by the relationships that we have through MFI.

Pastor Frank Damazio was the main speaker at the conference, and he was joined by Pastors Mike Servello, Bob McGregor and Jerry David. It was an awesome time of casting the vision of MFI for many new leaders in Singapore, and I really received a lot through it. Some of the things that we talked about and studied, I am going to use and teach to our leaders here in Cambodia. In fact, one of the lessons, I am going to use next week in our School of Leaders. Some of the other messages are still going through my mind and have been a blessing to me personally. The whole trip was a great spiritual refreshing.

While in Singapore, I was able to stay with some friends not very far from the church where the conference was hosted. Joshua and Angie Sundram were a huge blessing and took care of me very well. Of course, while there, I had stop at some of my favorite places, McDonald’s, (I know, I know, I’ll probably get mail about McDonald’s being one of my favorites, but after working there for eight years and now not having access to it in Cambodia, you do get the occasional craving for a Quarter Pounder!) The Coffee Bean, IKEA and our kids also made sure that I stopped at Toys R Us to pick up some surprises. J

It was also great to meet lots of new people through the conference. I met people from Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore of course, and other places. It’s amazing how MFI brings people together and we’re looking forward to see what the future holds for MFI in our region.

Now, it’s so great to be home again. Thanks to modern technology, I was able to call almost every day from Singapore and say hello to the family, but nothing beats being together again. Also, the month of July promises to be an exciting one in our church. There are many special events on the calendar and lots of guest ministry. It looks to be a very pivotal time for our church. But this letter is already too long, so I’ll have to save some of those details for another e-mail.

Blessings!
