upcoming missions trips
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:19
Camodia 2026
This coming January we will be again be traveling to Cambodia to participate in a missions trip serving the people of Cambodia.
The team is set to leave January 22nd and return home February 1st. We are so excited to be partnering with the YWAM team as well as the team at Foursquare Children of Promise.
Below are important details about the trip:
Trip Overview
Building on the groundwork and connections we’ve been developing with YWAM and FCOP, this trip will take us back to Siem Reap to continue to invest in what God has initiated there. This trip will consist of two parts.
First, we’ll be facilitating after-school programs in a handful of local YWAM-sponsored schools and one or two of the local FCOP homes. The fruit of this effort was incredible during our last trip. Hundreds of children heard how God loved them and has a plan for their lives. Enrollment in some of the schools we visited doubled in the following weeks. To give context, these schools cover a crucial gap in Cambodian youth education as well as present a clear opportunity to share the Gospel through regular interaction and care.
Second, we’ll be installing a playground at one of the local FCOP homes. This playground will be a huge blessing to the FCOP home children and the surrounding village kids. We hope for it to also play a part in our long-term vision for these FCOP homes around Siem Reap.
The trip will culminate with a tour of Angkor Wat and kick off attending a Billy Graham conference outside of Siem Reap, expected to draw over 30,000 Cambodians.
Our vision for this trip is to continue to invest and care for the FCOP children and churches in and around Siem Reap, as well as further develop connections with other on-the-ground resources and people. Our mid and long-term vision is to establish an after-school program in cooperation with YWAM in one or two local FCOP homes/churches, raising and discipling young leaders from within the local Foursquare church to lead, teach, and minister. These after-school programs will be a crucial outreach to Cambodian youth, both from a gospel impact and educational standpoint. The longer-term vision is to create a pathway and model for additional Foursquare churches in the US to adopt and develop supplementary schools in other FCOP homes throughout Cambodia.

Next Steps
- Prayerfully consider your involvement in this trip. If God is calling you to this, He will make it clear! Count the cost in more than a financial way. On this trip, you’ll be expected to be last-minute flexible, have a humble, others-focused attitude, and participate in your team role wholeheartedly. You’ll be tired and stretched but in all the best ways. You’ll likely share your story in a gospel conversation and lay hands on and pray for those battling discouragement or looking for miraculous intervention in a situation, illness, or injury. You’ll pour out to everyone around you, from ten-year-old Cambodian kids, to YWAM discipleship students, to your fellow teammates. The Spirit and love of God will fill and enable you.
- Make a $500 down payment by October 1st
- We’ll meet several times from early October through late January in preparation for the trip, covering spiritual and personal preparation as well as cultural understanding, and practical trip tips.
