Injustice: Normal for Many in the World
Today I spent seven hours on the phone to three pastors in Nepal. They had been stopped by an airline from flying and sent back to Nepal. I knew too well what the problem was: they were poor Nepalese from the mountains traveling outside their mountains into the bigger world. You may

If you are like many people, you have a sad story of a dog dying when you were a child. Mine was a wonderful German-Shepherd named “Gretel”. I liked the story of Hansel and Gretel and named my first puppy after Gretel. I would spend hours planning with my beautiful dog. I loved he

Can you imagine a world without electricity? Actually, nearly 80% of Cambodian homes do not have electricity. In 2002 God led us to start our first Imparting Smiles children home in Kracheh, Cambodia. In a province of more than 300,000, most have no electricity. None of the children w

A few days ago I was going around Poipet. I was on the prowl. I regularly move around the city, in back alley side streets and in places where it is hard to go. I am looking for the people and praying as I go to see how God would use me to help people. By doing this, last year I fo

Almost a year ago on Christmas Day, 2010 we had just celebrated a joint Christmas party with all our kids (about 150 kids) from both Imparting Smiles Centers. We had a fantastic fireworks display which I will remember for a lifetime. Then, a little boy came up to me and pulled on my

I just came back from a special dinner. I wasn’t the honored guests, but I was one of the nearly 2000 leaders who were invited to celebrate in the inauguration of the Governor of Poipet city here in North West Cambodia. Even the Thai Governor of Sakeo province and military officials

Poo Lao is a villager from Ralouch village in Kracheh province. The first time I met Poo Lao he was standing in the middle of a road, with a krama (a Cambodian red checkered cloth: a towel) around his waist, shaved head but sporting a goatee, shirtless and with a bulging belly. If

You all know the expression, “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” In Cambodia, we have a similar saying, “If you want something done, do it yourself (‘cause no one else is going to help you!)” Over the years I have built homes, orphanages, roads, sidewalks and even at

The story of little Odom being rescued from a detention center in Malaysia was well viewed on my blog site. In fact, it was the most read blog ever on my site. (see Odom’s story here) I told you the heartwarming story, but not the “rest of the story”. Trafficking of any person is ho
