Easter in Cambodia Part 1: Garbage Dump Angels

Easter 2010. Wayne visits one of his LTS graduate students, Joseph, who is now back in Cambodia. 
This is the reason why the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Hong Kong is so critically  important - Christian leaders are being shaped and strengthened to go back to their communities and serve in life-giving ministries.

Joseph leads a pastoral training school in Phnom Penh, serving, building up, and shepherding people who live in garbage dumps, orphans and their caretakers, and very young children with AIDS.  Here is Part 1 of the everyday sights for Joseph in his work with those whom Jesus considers his flesh & blood brothers and sisters:

"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"


"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did not do for me.' "                -- Jesus, quoted in Matthew 25:40 & 45
