A PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE: JESSE MCCAUL T he Gospel could be summarized like this - 2000 years ago Jesus came to the earth, lived among us, died on the cross, shed His blood, and three days later rose again.  When Jesus shed His blood, He drew a line with His blood so that, by faith, all of us who were in the bondage of sin could cross over that line into newness of life. In the same way, the Great Commission could be summarized like this: making the Gospel available to everyone. For the past year, drawing lines in the sand has been what Potter’s Field Ministries (PFM) has been doing in five communities in Cambodia. Communities that have had generations of poverty, hopelessness, bondage, and darkness are now experiencing the Gospel for the first time because of PFM’s village transformation programs. Hundreds of children and their families are now crossing the lines that have been drawn and are experiencing new hope and new life.  Thanks to the thousands of sacrificial supporters of PFM and that ministry, the end of generational hopelessness and poverty is now in sight! PFM in Cambodia is best described as a “wholistic” effort that ministers to the spirits, souls, and bodies of hundreds of children and their families.  In partnership with our local community churches, we are now seeing a significant difference in the living standards of these families as well as a shift in the atmosphere over these communities. Thank you for taking the Great Commission seriously and reaching the “least of these” to help them cross over that line that was drawn for them.  We believe that from this generation forward, we will have the privilege of witnessing significant and substantive transformation for generations to come. To God be the glory! Abundant Blessings, Pastor Jesse McCaul New Life Fellowship Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. 5
