I start this post with a thank you to those who donated to this trip. I am with Least of These serving in Cambodia for Agape International Ministries. AIM fights child sex trafficking. We will be doing construction in this effort. 10 of us met for our drive to SFO where we will meet two additional team members. Our first flight leaves at 11 pm Thursday arriving in Hong Kong at 0600 Saturday due to the 15 hour time difference. In Hong Kong we met the remaining 3 people making up our team of 15. Another short flight to Cambodia arriving at 1030 am Saturday.
We met our driver for the week and loaded up for a drive to the killing fields to help us better understand the history of Cambodia that contributes to the battle we are standing against.
******WARNING dome of the pictures and narrative are graphic and heavy ******
We arrived to the killing field memorial for a self paced walking audio tour.
April 17, 1975 the communist dictator Pol Pot with his Khmer Rouge followers march into the capital city of Phnom Penh. Millions were rounded up and taken to the killing fields where many were executed or assigned to forced labor. All belongings were taken, land was taken, families or split apart. Humanity was stripped away.
After completing the tour, we gathered somberly and reflected on the evil of the fallen human race, but also the grace of God and His forgiveness for those who turn and accept Him. We prayed for the country and people we are serving this week. We load back on our bus and head to the lunch before our hotel
After lunch We went to our hotel and begin to rest and recover from our very long period of travel.
