American couple to help Cambodian church

Posted: 7 October, 2010

Jamie and Holle Wollin head to Cambodia.

Cambodia (MNN) ― A short term mission trip is what God used to draw a couple to full-time missionary service in Asia.

Jamie and Holle Wollin are in the process of raising support to travel with The Mission Society to full-time work in Cambodia. In their second year of doing short-term mission work in Cambodia, Jamie says, "We discovered that God was really challenging us to think about a new way of life and a new life that He wanted us to embark upon."

That new way of life will be in Cambodia.

Holle says they'll be focusing on two areas of ministry. "We're going to be looking at education and then also business development. I'll be working at an elementary school discipling teachers, developing some curriculum that teaches Christian values, and also teaching [English as a Second Language] ESL."

Jamie says these avenues of ministry came directly from national Cambodian believers. "After interviewing multiple people, it was an overwhelming response: 'Please come and work with us and help us establish better education for our children." And, "Come help the church establish small business enterprises, or things that will help the church get on their own feet (financially).'"

It's in these situations that the Wollins will be sharing the Gospel. "Most people spend--whether you're in America or in Cambodia--three-quarters of their day at school (if you're kids). Or for adults, you spend three-quarters of the day at work. So, discipleship is natural and integral to what we'll be doing," Jamie says.

However, Jamie and Holle still need support to get to the field. You can help them. Click on the link to help.
