Our PROJECTS
-
Food and clothing distribution
We are committed to caring for orphans, separated children, widows, the poor and those in crisis situations. Partnering with organizations as Church of Glad Tidings, Gleanings for the Hungry, Children’s Hunger Fund, Stop Hunger Now and, we are able to care for the kids in our homes and effectively conduct outreach to those in need without destroying the local economy.
-
Construction Teams
With over 100 building locations they are in constant need or repair. Currently most need new roofs installed and fencing. Our local staff and short term mission teams help us to fix our buildings.
-
Advanced Education
We have raised in excess of 25,000 kids throughout the years. Like children in any family, they do not get disowned when they turn 18. We do everything we can to secure scholarships, university educations and technical training programs to place every young adult into productive service in Cambodian society. Our children have become doctors, nurses, lawyers, accountants, pastors, mechanics, artists and skilled farmers among many other rewarding professions.
-
Wells and Water Filters
Although a large portion of Cambodia is under water six months out of the year, it is extremely difficult to find consistent supplies of clean water. To address this constant need, we, in cooperation with other organizations, is drilling wells and installing water filters to care for our orphans, widows and the local communities around our churches.
-
Medical Care
Medical Outreach Teams are not the only way that we offer medical care. We currently employ a full-time Cambodian doctor as part of our staff. Dr. Lina is responsible for overseeing the medical care of all our children and staff. He regularly treats the desperate and needy throughout Cambodia. A permanent medical clinic was constructed at the National Training Center in 2008. This clinic offers a wide range of free medical services both to the community and to all our children and staff. The clinic demonstrates the love of God to the community that we serve.
-
Medical Outreach Teams
Medical personnel from around the world assist us by serving on Medical Outreach Teams. These teams of licensed doctors, nurses, paramedics and EMTs travel to remote locations all around Cambodia and partner with local Foursquare pastors and churches setting up clinics where they offer free medical exams and medicine to the community. These teams are able to show entire communities the love of God.
-
Blood Testing and Vaccinations
We are equipped to test for Hepatitis B as well as other diseases. Transmitted through blood and highly contagious, Hep B is a growing problem in Cambodia, due to lack of awareness, limited health care services and the cost of testing and vaccinations. Testing will also be offered to the local church communities, providing an example of the love and care that Christ has for the sick and hurting of the world.
-
Disaster Relief
We do not regard ourselves as a disaster relief organization. However, we also do not regard ourselves as a orphan rescue organization. We view ourselves as the church in action. When disasters happen, people have needs and Jesus responds.
-
Traditional Crafts, Music and Dance
Cambodia has an ancient performing arts heritage. Today, traditional music and dance are still highly valued in society. Many of our children are known as some of the best dancers in the whole of the country. Utilizing both traditional dance and music, the children choreograph various bible stories and evangelistic messages. They are always eager to travel and perform for events and outreach opportunities.
Children at the National Training Center in Phnom Penh also have the opportunity to learn traditional Cambodian weaving and textiles development as well as a valued trade. A variety of handcrafts such as scarves, purses and dolls are made by the children and staff. They are sold to help support the church orphan homes.
-
Music Training
Each summer, orphans and separated children from all over Cambodia attend three months of instrument and vocal training sessions at the National Training Center. After successfully completing the program, each student receives an instrument to take home with them. The program is geared to equip each music student with the necessary tools and preparation to lead praise and worship in their home church.
-
Vegetable Gardens
Gardens provide the homes with food, teach the children about agriculture and provide a micro-enterprise that supports additional projects within the church and community.
-
Playgrounds
Cambodia suffers a major lack of public recreation. Parks and playgrounds are virtually non-existent. In most towns, the streets become playgrounds. We have found that providing safe, supervised playgrounds at our homes build relationships with children in the community. Through these relationships, many families come to know Christ.
-
Custom Harvesting
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of rice that must be harvested in Cambodia. Seasonal labor used to be abundant throughout Cambodia, but now it is close to impossible to find due to the growth of the labor force at garment factories. We harvest about 500 acres of rice each year to feed the orphans. But, when crops sit in water un-harvested for weeks, there is great economic loss due to rats, insects and rotting. Combine harvesters are the answer. They can do the work of 1,000 men in one day. The net revenue from these potential harvests would fund the planting of 100 new churches.
-
Agriculture Extension
We own a rice mill and a rice farm in the Northwest part of Cambodia. Housing and training facilities for 30 to 40 staff have been constructed at the rice farm and nearby at our Balang church home. The plan is to train 20 young rice extension agents to carry modern rice technology to the farmers of Cambodia, along with the good news of Jesus Christ.
-
Dental Care
Dentists, dental assistants, hygienists and dental students generously donate their time, skill and equipment to provide world class dental care to our children and staff. These generous professionals are truly putting beautiful smiles on the faces of Cambodian children.
