Can you even begin to imagine what it would feel like to live right on a garbage dump?  The putrid air as plastics and chemicals are burned, the disease, the filth… the stench!

For a group of people near Siem Reap in Cambodia, this is their reality.  They have no other source of income, but to glean what they can from what the garbage trucks dump at this site.  If the discarded food is good enough, they’ll feed their own family with it.  If it’s already rotting, they’ll sell it to people who own pigs to feed them.  Any little thing that can be salvaged is carried away like a prize, either used themselves, or sold, if they’re lucky.

The yellow and black tarp you see in the picture is someone’s home for their entire family. XP and our team of January outreach students had the opportunity to minister to these precious ones that Jesus loves and values!  They are not rubbish to Him!

God showed up in many ways, with healings, salvations and through our team with handing out rice, fruit and fresh water for many.  We also shared small toys with the children, who so valued even the smallest treasure that wasn’t broken, discarded, and dirty.  We played games with the kids, we hugged and loved on the people there, and to see their faces light up when she realized that someone took the time to value them was unforgettable!

God loves the forgotten, the down-trodden and the poor.  And so do we at XP Missions!  Visit XPmissions.com for ways that you can help.

Many of you know our good friend’s, Heidi and Rolland Baker, and the amazing work they spearhead through Iris Ministries in Africa and around the globe.  What some of you might not know is that their airplane that they have used for years to reach out into the unreached people’s groups, crashed last year.  Thankfully no one was killed, but the plane was a complete loss.

They are committed to purchasing a new plane, but these are not cheap planes, given their need for a heavy payload, a short runway in the jungles, and their reliability in adverse situations.

The plane that best suits their missionary needs is called the Quest Kodiak – the cost of this aircraft is $1.63 million and already, $741,000 has been raised by Iris, but an additional $681,000 is required before they can purchase the plane.

So, true to our other friend’s heart, Kris Vallotton from Bethel Church, has started a “680 Club” – if 680 people could donate $1,000 each, this plane can get into full-time Kingdom work!!!!

God is a God of restoration – He loves to restore people to Himself, he loves to restore others to healthier relationships, He loves to restore people’s health and lives in all kinds of ways!

In Phoeniz, Arizona, we have a home called Restoration House, in which we house women that are in the process of having their lives restored.

We bring women into our home, both young and old, for about six months and offer them a great environment to bring support, love and training to their lives.  It has been a joy to watch the love of the Father bring restoration to these lives, showing them the worth and value they have in His eyes!  Some have moved onto jobs within the ministry, others have moved on to other jobs and all have come into a greater revelation of the love of Christ in their lives.

Watch to this video by Patricia King, as well as testimonies from some of our earlier residents:

Restor8ion in Jesus!

This is a powerful program, being used by the Lord, to bring hope and restoration to the lives of these precious women!  Yes, God loves Restoration!!!

Patricia King recently spent the better part of two weeks in Poipet, Cambodia, and it’s been an amazing time for her and the team, as well as the business & ministry leaders that joined her for a few days.

God did amazing things while in Poipet – lives were powerfully touched by God’s love, many people received healing, donations for a new building were given, vision for new business was launched, and fun was had by all in the midst of bringing God’s Kingdom to the people of Poipet!

For the first official outreach school, there were 15 students for the first week and they were all amazing – they had hearts full of Jesus, they worshipped and interceded like crazy, they served, they preferred others, they put up with challenging conditions and saw a harvest of good fruit because of it all!!!

If you’re feeling called to join an outreach in Cambodia, be sure to visit xpmissions.com and choose the Training/Outreach tab on the LH side of the menu – you’ll be so glad you did!

Patricia King and XP Missions is honored to be serving in the country of Mozambique, in a unique community called Meize Village.

Under Iris Ministries, Don Kantel & his wife, Elizabeth, started a sustainable village, with homes, community gardens and schools.  They place the orphaned children in homes with widows and as well as provide an education and Christian training, they train the children in life skills to become responsible adults in the future.

There are goats, chickens and gardens, operated as a church co-op, so they can supplement their diet and their incomes with extra produce, milk and eggs.  It’s an amazing project and we’re honored to be supporting the building of homes, schools and the development of these self-sustaining programs.

Here is an amazing video that shows some of the community children and the projects that are happening in the Meize Village:

Bless you as you enable us to help the work in Meize Village, Mozambique – it’s so amazing to see the Kingdom of God come to these children in very practical ways!
