Dear Ministry Partners,

We hope that you have had a great start to this new year and are looking forward to what God has in store for 2006. We are believing that we will see some real breakthroughs in ministry here over the coming year, hardships and difficulties notwithstanding. God's grace is surely sufficient! Thank you for partnering with us in this great endeavor. Your prayers and financial gifts continue to make it possible for us to serve the Lord in Cambodia!

I would like to highlight three areas of our ministry that we feel God is blessing. It is vital that you join is in praying for each of these points as it is through prayer that the hand of God is moved and that we can truly hope to have success!

O'Russey Market Area God has called us to establish his kingdom in an area that has been left utterly unreached. For the past year we have been actively working and ministering in the area and intend to start a church planting movement (CPM). There are more than 60,000 people comprising 7 unreached people groups located in an area of less than 1/2 sq. mile! We have a number of outreaches planned for the area in the upcoming months and covet your support in prayer and intercession.

Pray that God's kingdom of righteousness would come quickly and that we would begin to gather in the first fruits of harvest in the next two months.

Prey Veng Churches The housechurch that we have been working to establish in Tbeng village is bursting at the seams! The church now has believers from 9 different villages and some 40 families. Two cell groups have been established in outlying villages and one of them has grown to more than 20! The next step for this church is to train leaders so that they can start and lead new churches in each of their home villages.

Pray for God's blessing and anointing on our monthly Church Leader Training beginning this month.

Church Planting in Phnom Penh We are involved in three different church plants in Phnom Penh, all of which are at various stages of growth and development. Our hope is to see these churches firmly grounded in their faith in God and quickly begin to reproduce. It is crucial that in each of these efforts God's Spirit is poured out and believers commit themselves to God as his disciples.

Pray that God would grant us wisdom and anointing to effectively disciple believers.

Finally, may the grace and peace of God our father and our Lord Jesus be with you always!

In Jesus,

Dale and Cathleen
