Once a year, for unification, encouragement and refreshment, our ACTION team enjoys a retreat away from the normal routine of life. This year, we were privileged to be joined by Glenn and Liese Ripley, former missionaries and members of our home church in California. They led us through several team-enriching sessions in Phnom Penh before we all journeyed to beautiful Siem Reap for a few days of rest and relaxation.
