Roads

Today is Sunday on our side of the globe, we are traveling from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. This used to be a 2 day boat ride way around. Overland was just too dangerous with the KumerRuge controlling the countryside. When the war calmed down, road travel was possible, but because of the poor roads the trip was over 12 hours. Some claim this trip can be completed now in around 6 hrs, though with the road construction going on, the size of our group, and the videographers on board, I hope we make it in 10. (Took 11!)

This is the Cambodian National Hiway 6, and some of the road was nice. For the last 6 or so hours, I would say this road is like a rough washboard dirt road back home. We are traveling from 3-20 mph. The bus is bouncing, jostling and vibrating in the most vigorous manner. In some places the dust clouds are thick enough to cut with a knife.

I would say this trip is right up there in the difficult trip category. But it is not as difficult as others missionaries who have gone before us. Will you travel under hardship for Jesus? Will you sacrifice comfort for others? Will you come to Cambodia to help spread the Gospel?

Pray with us for a spark!
