Metamorphic:Blog

Once again, it has been a busy year in Asia for the Metamorphic crew. This year saw us focusing our energies on Cambodia and Myanmar, where we have seen around 40 new churches planted. On top of this, we were also able to assist several thousand people in Cambodia to gain access to safe clean water for not only the first time in their lives, but for life. Additionally, it was pleasing to see previous church planters initiate disaster relief plans in their provinces when floods hit in the latter part of the year. Metamorphic was excited to jump on board with these guys and assist them to provide and distribute over 1000kg of rice to families in desperate need as a result of these floods.

Exciting opportunities have opened up in both of these countries for next year. In Cambodia, we will run two programs and start planting churches in the northern areas, while in Myanmar we will run one program and train 80 church planters from around the entire nation. In Myanmar we are also launching a pilot project that will provide several thousand people with access to safe clean water for the first time ever.

We are looking forward to 2012, with so much already planned and plenty more in the planning and proposal phase, including an HIV program and a large scale sustainable agricultural venture in Cambodia, as well as continuing to expand our partnerships to deliver safe clean water to thousands more people.
