You will learn Khmer language and have opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus through many avenues such as teaching English, village outreach, and working with other NGOs who help vulnerable women and children.

Note from the Site Leader:
Hi! I’m Collette! I’m 30 years old and have lived in Phnom Penh about almost 2 years now. Before I became a missionary, I worked as a Children's Director at Harvest Wesleyan Church in Washington. Currently, my main focus has been language learning and cultural acquisition. I hope to empower our church leaders by training them in ways to grow their youth and children’s ministries. I love trying new coffee shops, going on adventures, eating sushi, and binging a good TV show. One of my favorite things about living in Cambodia is that I’m never cold anymore!
