TABITHA CAMBODIA HOUSE BUILDING PROJECT
It remains one of my greatest pleasures to return to villages which were all in scrap materials turn into villages of substantial houses. It takes anywhere from 4 to 6 years to accomplish. I thank God for this great privilege of project.
From TORONTO to FRANKFURT π
I am beyond humbled to have my book, βI Am Who I Amβ featured at two incredible book events this year. The Word on the Street Toronto 35th Annual Festival (Sept. 28-29) and the renowned Frankfurt Book Fair in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (Oct. 16-20).
Ritskes navigates life by relying on God for every need, placing trust in His provision, and taking one courageous step at a time. "I donβt know how to live any other way," she says. She encourages everyone to follow suit. "Embrace a holistic way of living. Walk alongside God."
Snaps from our UWCSEA Family House Building Trips
Since 2009, UWCSEA family house builders have built over 200 homes alongside the most deserving families in the Cambodian provinces. It has been such a privilege. Thank you, Tabitha.
I lean on God for every need, trusting his provision, one courageous step at a time. Dare to live holistically. Dare to walk with God. Dare to be who youβre created to be. And you can change the world.
