Ken Cruz – Our Missionary in Cambodia
Our Christmas Offering - $2,500
|
|
by Marty Allison
We have helped support Ken’s missionary salary since 2013! Ken was born in the Philippines and has been serving in Cambodia since 2007. He and his wife have 2 sons and they have lived in Laos and Cambodia for almost 30 years. Ken has a Diploma in Forestry, a BA in Economics, and a Masters in Organizational Leadership.
Heart of Longmont, along with about 8 other churches, support Ken’s salary. Our share is $2,500 each year. That is why we make it our special Christmas and Easter Offering because it is a special commitment that we have undertaken. Please help us meet this financial opportunity to continue supporting Ken’s work in Cambodia. Remember we have a special tie with Cambodia through Thy & Kim Ear, Kim & Vannary Oun, Kang & Kimberly Sam, Kailla, Sovann, Kameron, and Sofia.
Ken works with the Community Health and Agriculture Development Program (CHAD). He is focused on church/community-based development, organizational development and program consulting. Much of his work has been among the poor in holistic community development. Ken shares that his compassion for the poor was nurtured through the modeling of his physician father who gave free medical services to the poor and sick.

Blessing Bags
Blessing Bags were assembled following the Feeding Our Souls dinner. There are boxes next to the main entrance and the West airlock containing these bags – please take one or two and keep them in your car. When you see someone asking for help, offer one of these bags instead of money.
|
|
We will continue to put Blessing Bags together after Feeding Our Souls (3rd Wednesday of the month). Your donations of any of these items is greatly appreciated!
Find the Blessing Bags box in the Gallery:
- Socks
- Water bottles
- Protein snacks

- Tooth brush and paste

What's Going On Up There???

You may have heard that our roof needs some repairs. We will be starting a capital campaign after the first of the year to address the roof repairs, but you can give before the end of the year towards the roof so you can get the best tax breaks for 2019.
Want to understand why we need these repairs? Watch the video below and see for yourself!
