The old adage says, "If at first you don't succeed ..." This is the story of partnerships. We have had a couple of possible partnerships which did not bear fruit. Last week Tom met a young church leader in Kampong Thom (pronounced "Tome") who genuinely seems to have a heart for the Kuy (pronounced "Gooey") people. He grew up in the church and is very active as a youth leader. He has made a couple to trips to Kuy areas on his own initiative. We are very excited to see God raising up Khmer believers with a heart to reach the unreached in their own country. Jet (pronounced like the airplane) will accompany Tom next week on a trip to Rumchek (pronounced "Room jake"). This is the village in Preah Vihear ("Pray-uh Vee hia") where we are trusting God that a cell group of believers will begin this year. We are hoping that Jet will be God's man for the Kuy and a good partner to work with us in preparing oral materials and doing evangelism among the Kuy.

P.S. I have included pronunciation guidelines for a few words this time as suggested. Please let us know if there are ways you feel we could improve these communications. Thank you for praying!
