IVAN YOW IN CAMBODIA 2016

 

Hello, my name is Ivan Yow; I am a junior doctor who worked in Preston, UK. I have been preparing to join Dr Filipe and his team at Solid Rock starting September 2016 to work as a medical missionary.

 

So…What will I be doing there? I was called to join the medical staff team, and will also be involved in gospel ministry. It is prudent to have realistic expectations and goals in mind, as not to be disillusioned. As such, I suspect the next few months will be more of a fact finding mission (like a case study) and a place to serve. In a scientific sense, we have to understand the issues before considering implementation any changes.

 

As such, I hope for His will to be done in Cambodia (and everywhere else), and to move despite uncertainties and risks!

 

So thus starts the beginning of the journey to Cambodia. Thank you to family, and friends for your support.  

 

Please pray for the things above and for the work in Cambodia.

 

Stay tuned for further updates. 

Ivan

Understanding Cambodia

Cambodia always seemed interesting and mystical to the tourists, with nice temperate climate, friendly people and a dark past. In the 2 weeks I was here, I have come to discover many of the culture, beliefs and roots hidden deep within the society, the issues not every tourist hears or knows about. It manifest in their healthcare, education, police, politics and work.
