  Teddy and Linda Hoare have served as missionaries in Quebec for over 25 years. Their passion for introducing and connecting people to the God who loves them remains strong. Their outreach ministry, called “Connections,” focuses on building relationships and demonstrating the love of Christ.

Nhep has a deep passion for Christ. As a survivor of Cambodia's “killing fields” under the regime of Pol Pot in the 1970s, her love and care for the people of her Cambodian homeland is at the center of her ministry. She uses her skills as a dentist to train students and to provide dental care to those living in rural Cambodia on behalf of the FAIR (Fellowship Aid and International Relief) mobile dental clinic.

Although her ministry focus is medical in nature, she continually use every opportunity to share the love of Christ with her patients and the students that assist her during the clinics. Many have prayed to accept Christ and several churches have been established because of her ministry.

Nhep's husband, Oeut, who faithfully and diligently worked alongside Nhep in her dental ministry in Cambodia, passed away in early 2022.
