The Thar Desert between India and Pakistan (it was 114 degrees the day we were there!). See more photos from my trip to India.

Cambodia curriculum set

Our theme for Cambodia is generosity. We want to teach the kids about God's gift to us and how we can be generous with what we have.

Each morning we'll sing fun songs like "Father Abraham" and "If you're happy and you know it." We're taking over kazoos, slide flutes, maracas and tambourines. We know the kids love to sing and dance (even if they don't know what the words mean).

We'll then do a story and skit highlighting what God says about generosity.

We'll end the morning with crafts they'll put together. They'll give them as Christmas gifts to kids in the surrounding villages.

We'll spend the afternoons playing team games and just hanging out with the kids.

Here are the lessons...

Day 1: Lesson 1 - God wants us to give to others - 1 Timothy 6:18 - "...be generous and willing to share"

Day 2: Lesson 2 - Everyone has something to give - Mark 12:43 - The story of the widow giving coins worth only a few cents

Day 3: Lesson 3 - God loved us so much he gave us his son - John 3:16

Day 4: Birthday Party celebrating God's gift to us. We're inviting kids from the surrounding villages and the kids in the orphanage will give them the crafts they made
