Many of them have hardened their hearts and, out of that have committed crimes.  Our team will be sharing how God can taken the broken things in our life and make us new and give us a new beginning. We need women to join us and share the hope that is only found in Jesus Christ.

This team will be traveling to a rural area of Cambodia to provide dental care for the Hill-Tribe people, and those living with very limited access to dental care. This is a great way to show the practical love of Jesus Christ to those who don’t know Him.   Imagine yourself venturing through a land known for its breathtaking beauty and people.  But, when you take a closer look, you will also see a country that is so deep in false religion that people are willing to starve their families so they can leave food for the spirits.  The people of  Cambodia are in desperate need of a Savior - the One True God, Jesus Christ.  Don’t pass up on this once in a lifetime opportunity to serve and minister to this unreached people group.  We will also be visiting the local market and historical sites.  Space is very limited, you must apply immediately to be considered!
