MISSIONS ON THE MOVE

Oeut and Nhep are survivors of the PolPot regime that devastated their people and nation in the 1970's.  Nhep is a dentist trained in Kampong Cham in Cambodia.  Together, with their team, they bring dental care to the poorer areas of their country.  Through this outreach, they have founded four churches in different villages.

 Our church "put on" the terra cotta roof for the new church at Boksnor with funds raised as an Easter offering.  This building is also used for the dental clinics, mid-week Bible studies and a primary school for children whose families can't afford the uniforms required for public schools.

 Nhep teaches at the local university and with her husband, Oeut, welcome students to study the Scriptures in their home and enjoy a meal together.

Staff since: April 2005  

Shu Yin loves staff and students because God loves them first. She equips staff and students to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ on campus and throughout the world. 

 She loves seeing staff and students encounter God’s love and truth. Her educational background includes studying human resources and religion

.  

One of her favourite things to do is watch documentaries. An impactful Bible verse for her is Romans 3:22-24 (NIV): This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.Running a holiday sale or weekly special?

The Danas have been in ministry for 41 years bringing the love of Jesus Christ into the lives of native people through camps, visiting in prison, through their radio broadcasts. https://arrowheadradio.podbean.com/  Mark himself is of the Penobscot (Eastern Abenaki) nation. They live in NB.  Having led the camp for many years, they are now passing on the baton to Naomi, their daughter and son-in-law, Martin. Their primary role is the connection to the Algonquin First Nations community at Rapid Lake. Martin leads a teen canoe trip for boys and keeps in touch with them throughout the year. 

Translating Scripture, Transforming Lives

Together with partners worldwide, we serve indigenous people through language-related ministries, especially Bible translation and literacy.  Our goal is to empower local communities to express God's love in both Word and deed.  The result is personal, social and spiritual transformation.

Wycliffe invites like-minded people in Canada to participate through prayer, service and funding.  Nearly 2,300 minority language groups still wait for the power of God working though their own language.

 Due to circumstances in the country, the missionary cannot be identified.

 Over 2 million children in 25 impoverished countries are being given Jesus' hope for a better future through individual sponsorship.  Children take part in a program in their community which is linked with the local church.  The benefit is evident.  Those children in the program are more likely to finish high-school, get a good job and be active in their church.  Sponsors are invited to correspond with their child.  Sometimes a visit can be arranged.
