Happy New Year? Happy Khmer New Year that is – every April
brings in the new Khmer year where traditionally people return to their home
villages to celebrate with their families. This three-day festival is full of
celebrations through traditional foods, games, dances and visiting temples to
gain blessings and welcome the new Zodiac spirit for the year. Cambodian
Christians can still celebrate the holiday enjoying family and traditions
without the spiritual aspects. Our church had a Khmer New Year party where I
enjoyed learning new games, songs and dances. 
The two new Potter’s Field Ignite interns have arrived! Their names are Shelby from California and Kaitlin from Florida. Kaitlin is actually one of the past intern’s (Kaylee) best friends – small world! God made it very clear He wants to do a new and different work with these girls then He did with the last. Physically it is the start of a new year, it is a changing of the seasons from dry season to wet season, it marks the transition from harvesting crops to planting seeds and as I read chronologically through my Bible I ended Revelation and began Genesis (a book of new beginnings) the day of their arrival. I think you can agree with me that God wants to begin a new work with this team.
