The Drebes Family

We are amazed at the response of Davisville and our friends and family toward the support of the Cambodia team.  Not sure why we should be so shocked when God's purpose for the world is to make His name famous everywhere.  He is blessing our team so that we can be a blessing to the ends of the earth which will in return bring Him great glory as more and more learn to worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Cambodia.  So why should we be surprised that He has moved so many hearts to join with us?  Because, even though people look up to missionaries, we are still sinners, relying on God daily and constantly failing Him.  It is He who will accomplish His work through the Cambodia team, unbelieving and unfaithful as we might be.

We see Him blessing our precious time left with our family right now.  There are amazing praises that led to all three children being home right now with us when there were years that we only had one or sometimes 2 here because of colleges, apartments with friends, etc.  We treasure every moment left with them.  We realize that this is a blessing in itself, because when you don't know you could possibly be separated from your family someday, you may not have the opportunity to soak up every moment with them.  Many have asked us how it will be leaving them and possibly be separated from grandchildren in the future.  But we see our time spent home on furloughs to be precious times like these last days with them. We even hope to move in with them (still not sure of their complete compliance to that request!) and live with our (hopeful) grandchildren for a few months on furloughs.....a hope not many grandparents have.

God promises in Scripture that even though we leave, "home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in the present age...and in the age to come..." (Mark 10:29-31)  We already have two single daughters, 4 brothers and sisters (they're a little old to be married children) and 6 grandchildren going to the field with us.  So, you see, God blesses in ways we can't even fathom.  His ways are not ours.  The fears and questions we have are quieted in our spirits by Our Lord and His Word.

We praise God for Davisville's commitment to the Cambodia Team.

Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored...
