STM 2017 Cambodia (Base)

An adventure awaits you in Cambodia!   Nestled between Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia boasts one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the temple Angkor Wat. However, the delicious food, beautiful scenery, and kind nature of the people mark the true wonders of this small country. Cambodia is struggling to heal the scars from one of the worst genocides in modern history. In just a three-year period, one of every five people died, decimating the population and trapping the people in terror. With a predominantly Buddhist culture, Cambodians struggle for hope for...

STM 2017 Jamaica (Montego Bay)

An adventure awaits you in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Jamaica’s beauty attracts millions of tourists every year, but poverty lurks just beyond the resort gates. Lush mountains descend to white, sandy beaches. High in the hills, families crowd into ramshackle houses, little more than sheds. And those families are the lucky ones. Homelessness is rampant, and mothers abandon children they can’t feed.  Many Jamaicans turn to false gods to answer their desperate pleas for help.

In the South Asian culture, daughters are viewed as costly. Not only is a girl’s family expected to pay the expense associated with raising her but a...

STM 2017 Thailand (Bangkok)

*Please note: Men are welcome, but will have separate ministry from the women on this trip. Serve God in Bangkok, Thailand, in Red Light Ministry!   Behind Thailand’s beautiful beaches, the Thai people’s ever-smiling faces, and the lush tropical jungles lies a terrible secret: modern day slavery. As the Thai economy strengthens and the natural beauty draws visitors, tourism of a different sort also flourishes. Human trafficking and sexual tourism continue to grow. Buddhism teaches that a person’s future is predetermined by karma. Because males can go to the temple,...

STM 2017 Thailand (Mae Sot)

Serve God in Mae Sot, Thailand, in Refugee and Children’s Ministry! Mae Sot sits on the border of Thailand and Burma, a stone’s throw from “No Man’s Land”, the strip of land not claimed by either nation. Residents of this area are Burmese refugees who Thailand refuses to accept into their population. Technically not citizens of either country, they live in crudely made huts and are governed by the “chief” of the area. Uprooted, they are essentially an abandoned people. These families need to know they are wanted. Ministry: When you join us in...
