Team Trips
We go in country to serve the children of Saving Susan Ministry on our Team Trips. These are different than traditional mission trips as our focus is building and strengthening relationships. The relationships with the kids and those who care for them are at the heart of our ministry.

In August a team returned to Cambodia, including four Parent Partner families, who were able to spend time with their kids for the first time since the pandemic.

2018
April 2nd-7th - Guatemala
Away from the hustle of city buzz there is a compound focused on healing and restoration. House of Hope children’s home is a safe space where loving staff utilize a variety of opportunities to rebuild orphaned and abandoned children. Our team joined together for a week of pouring into the children, the staff, and the facility.
August 11th-18th - Cambodia
In August 2018 we returned to Bileg to spend time with our kids and participate in local mission programs. One highlight was attending graduation at Bileg, with Jay Arntzen as the featured speaker, and taking part in celebrations including music and games. We also led a baseball clinic with more than 100 kids, shared the gospel with them, worshipped at Pastor Sihok’s church, and walked the Killing Fields, a sad reminder of Cambodia’s tragic history.
2017
July 13-22 - Cambodia
UPDATE: Check out the recap here
In 2017 a group of twenty nine people visited Cambodia and serve Sanctuary Church and Saving Susan Partners in Cambodia. The Lord provided a team full of unique talents and skills that was utilized to love on and help the great people in each of the ministries we served in country.
2016
November - Guatemala
We spent four days with House of Hope in Guatemala serving the staff, giving Parent Partners time with their children, and praying for the children who do not yet have Parent Partners. House of Hope is a unique facility that not only houses the children, but also provides schooling and raises chickens and goats used fund and feed the children. God is alive and at work here and we would love to talk to you about participating in a future trip to Guatemala.
