Cambodia part 2

I'm sitting in Dublin airport about to bring a group from church to Cambodia. It's the second time that I will have gone and I sit here filled with a mixture of emotions. On one hand I'm excited to be going back to a nation which has gripped my heart since laura and I were last there 2 years ago. On the flip side however I'm an emotional mess as I feel like I've had to leve my heart at home as laura has been unable to travel with us. With her being pregnant she was never able to travel but over the last few days she had to spend some time in hospital with some complications. The husband part of me is naturally anxious about my wife and also for our baby which is now only 9 weeks away from birth but they have had to start giving treatment for her in case of early delivery. Some people have questioned my decision on going saying that I should be staying at home but I feel a peace that this is the right thing. As we go to work with children that are daily being sexually exploited I have faith in God to look after my own wife and child. I'm excited to explore more on Cambodia and see what God has in store not just for me personally but also for us as a church. Over the next two weeks the 19 of us will be working in a variety of projects as we week to share the hope and love of Christ with those that need it so badly. Please join with us in prayer for the team that God will clearly guide and use us for all that he desires to do. Please pray for laura and our baby as well that the doctors will have wisdom and understanding to know the right path to take. I will Try to blog now and again and share some of our stories with those who want to follow along. I'm sure many others will be facebooking and tweeting so please journey with us as we head away.
