To say that Pat faced a challenge in Cambodia would be a gross understatement. The Khmer Rouge Army was storming its way toward the capitol of Phnom Penh and the Vietnam war was raging next door. Pats job included working shifts of 50 hours or more and getting food and supplies to nearly 2 million refugees seeking safe haven from the Khmer Rouges advances. He endured miserable tropical weather and survived malaria. all while keeping tens of thousands of refugees alive. When asked about the experience. he said. "The whole experience. in Cambodia really drove home my niche in life." Many may have quit. but not Pat Johns. Instead. he dedicated his life to serving those in desperate need in the most dangerous parts of the planet.
