Almost there

We have made it safely to Hong Kong and are waiting for our connecting flight to Phnom Penh. Yesterday we had breakfast in Norway, lunch in London and dinner somewhere over Lithuania and breakfast this morning over China! The overnight flight went smoothly and was on time. Some of us slept better than others however so it will be good to sleep in a bed rather than a chair tonight.

Dinner in a London pub

The final part of our journey is a flight of 2 hours 40 min to Cambodia where we will be collected by the rest of the team and driven by mini bus to Chukk. The final leg of the journey taking about two hours depending on traffic around the city centre. We will have the same minibus and driver for the whole trip. Cambodia is 6 hours aheas of Norway and 5 hours ahead of the UK.

Teaching preparation, the same book in two different languages.

We will spend tonight in a small privately owned guest house and I assume we will go out to a street café for a meal before turning in for the night. Our first teaching session starts at eight o'clock tomorrow morning (2am in Norway), a time when many of you will still be in bed!

Getting ready for another trip

I am getting ready for another trip to Cambodia. This time with a small team from Norkirken and Steve Bruns (Imi Church) who will meet us there. I will be travelling with and working with Tom Kenneth Ravnås and Anne Kate Usken and I am very much looking forward to it.

We will be visiting Tbung Khmum province which is towards the boarder with Vietnam and Chhuk province which is south of the capital Phnom Penh. I was at both places doing taster days when I was last there in February. It will be nice to go back to both places and see some of the same people again.

 



Sithuon

Chakreya

There are also three other people I am looking forward to seeing when I arrive. Members of Normisjons local team, Sithuon, Lysom and Chakreya. They will, along with Steve, be at the airport when we arrive and we will travel in private minibus directly to the first province.





Anne Kate has been to Kambodia twice before although she is not so heavily involved in the leadership training we are giving to the local churches. Her role on the team will be prayer ministry and general information and support. Tom Kenneth has not been to Cambodia before but he and I have been involved with the leadership training for some years.
