Our Story
How We Got Started
Youth With A Mission, Cambodia, was established in 1991 when a small team pioneered a ministry in the north of the country, which was at that time war-weary and war-ravaged, in the border province of Stung Treng.
We followed God’s prompting to work in one of the more remote and least developed parts of the country, and to go where there were no Christians and no existing Christian witness. YWAM Cambodia has sought to work where the need is greatest. Stung Treng province continues to be one of the least serviced provinces, who will then affect their different spheres of life.
Cambodian Government
The Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia recognizes that improving community health is essential for national development; therefore, we have focused on community health. The project works in cooperation with the Provincial Health Department (PHD) to help bring about some of the recommended changes of the Ministry of Health.
Vision
We do this to demonstrate and proclaim God’s love. Our vision is to see the people of this province living with the quality of life which God intended when they were created in His image, and that they will turn to glorify God.
