Dear John Doe

This coming Thanksgiving, I will be going to Cambodia to teach at the Cambodia Bible Institute. I will be teaching Biblical Geography with Rich Dolan. I will be in Cambodia for two weeks staying with the Dolan’s.

Will you share this ministry with me through your support? Please pray for me while I am in Cambodia, and be prayerful about financial contribution. I need to raise $1700 for the mission trip. These funds go toward airfare, food, and lodging. Please make the checks out to Broken Arrow Church of Christ and in the memo put “Matt-Cambodia.” The checks can be sent to Rich Kilmer at 505 E. Kenosha St. Broken Arrow, OK 74012.

During this mission trip, I’ll be focusing on Biblical Geography. I have three topics I will be teaching on: The Biblical Setting, The Old Testament, and The New Testament. Physical and cultural geography of the Bible lands will be the focus of the three topics.
The Bible is an intensely geographical book. It tells the story of God’s redemptive work in human history. This story is revealed through the nation of Israel, Jesus, and the early church. Specific geographical and cultural settings form the backdrop of the Bible. By utilizing maps, charts, and timelines I will be able to introduce the students to the physical, cultural, and historical settings of the Biblical narrative.

Along with teaching Biblical geography, I will teach English to students. As students who are interested in improving their English to read
