The Call to Cambodia

This is where God led us, and the story is still unfolding.

How it started

In 2022, during a discipleship school, God planted a quiet desire in our hearts: Cambodia. We didn’t fully understand it at the time, it started with a step, a dream, and a longing to follow His lead.

Over the next two years, God spoke through moments, dreams, and unexpected connections including a real map pin that matched the vision He gave us. Each piece confirmed the same thing: we weren’t imagining it. He was showing us where to go.

It’s not about a destination, it’s about obedience.

Where We Are Now

We are currently in Cambodia, nearing the end of a season that has stretched, humbled, and taught us more than we expected.

During our time here, we have built relationships in the neighborhood, prayed with people, taught English and a practical Bible program to children on Sundays, and begun recording local testimonies. We are also developing a short film about the full Gospel—a resource we hope will eventually be available in Khmer.

Life here has not always been easy, especially while adapting as a family, but we can see how God prepared the way. The provision for our flights, visas, documents, and the doors that opened remind us that this journey has been a miracle from the beginning.

We will return to Canada in fall 2026. We do not yet know exactly what comes next, but we believe this is not the end of the journey. It may be the foundation for something greater in Cambodia and across Southeast Asia.

    💔 Many families remain vulnerable to economic shocks

    Cambodia has made important economic progress, but many households still live with limited financial security. Rising food, fuel, healthcare, or education costs can quickly place additional pressure on families already working hard to meet their daily needs.

    🙏 Christians remain a small minority

    Estimates vary, but Christians represent only a small part of Cambodia’s population. Faithful churches and believers are present and growing, yet there remains a deep need for biblical teaching, discipleship, and Gospel resources in the Khmer language.

    👥 Cambodia is a young nation

    Nearly half of Cambodia’s population was under 25 in the 2019 census. This young generation carries tremendous potential, creativity, and influence. Encouragement, mentorship, education, and strong spiritual foundations can help shape what comes next.

    🏚️ Household debt can threaten family stability

    Cambodia has one of the region’s highest levels of household borrowing. For some families, heavy repayment obligations and loans secured by land can lead to financial distress, loss of property, or reduced spending on essential needs.

    💡 Rural communities face gaps in essential services

    In some rural areas, families still face limited access to safe water, healthcare, education, transportation, and stable employment. Distance and limited infrastructure can make everyday needs harder to meet, while local churches and Christian resources may also be difficult to access.

    ⚠️ Pollution affects Cambodia’s air, water, and communities

    Plastic waste, open burning, traffic, industry, and unsafe water all contribute to environmental and health concerns in Cambodia. In some areas, groundwater may also contain naturally elevated arsenic. These challenges affect ecosystems, public health, and the daily lives of local communities.

There is truly a need for the God of hope.

That is why this time in Cambodia has mattered so deeply to us. We have not only read about the needs or watched them from a distance, we have lived here, listened, learned, built relationships, and seen both the challenges and the resilience of the Cambodian people.

As our return to Canada approaches, our desire remains the same: to follow God’s leading, help build strong disciples, and support work that shares the full Gospel in Cambodia.

How You Can Pray

🌿 Finishing well in Cambodia

Please pray for the time we have left in Cambodia, that we would finish well, remain present with the people around us, and complete what God has entrusted to us during this season.

🏠 Our return and family transition

Please pray for a peaceful transition back to Canada. Our family routine and homeschooling have been challenging here, so we are asking God for stability, rest, and clarity as we adjust again.

🌱 The WeGo project

Please pray for the WeGo project, which remains very close to our hearts. Ask God to guide its direction, provide what is needed, and connect us with people who believe in the vision.

🎥 The Gospel film and testimonies

Please pray for the short film about the full Gospel and for the testimonies we have recorded. May God’s favour be on these projects, and may they become meaningful resources for Khmer-speaking people.

🌾 Cambodia, its workers, and its disciples

Please pray that God sends workers into the harvest and raises strong disciples with deep foundations—people who know Him personally and help others grow in faith.

🙏 Faith and wisdom for what comes next

We do not yet know exactly what the next season will look like. Please pray that we remain patient, obedient, and attentive to God’s direction without moving ahead of His timing.

“We don’t just ask for prayer, we depend on it. Thank you for covering us.”
