In December 2025, our Senior School mission team had the incredible opportunity to travel to Cambodia and partner with Asian Outreach in their ministries in Stung Treng. Our trip began in Phnom Penh, where students learned about Cambodia’s challenging history and how it continues to shape the nation today. We then travelled north to the Hope Centre, where students supported Asian Outreach’s work by donating school packs—fundraised by our school—which provided tuition for local students. This was a deeply meaningful experience for everyone involved.

During our time in Stung Treng, we visited local villages and helped run Happy Clubs, where students built special connections with young children through games, activities, and encouragement. Another highlight was hosting an English Day, giving our students the chance to engage with local high schoolers and enjoy a rich cultural exchange.

Students also shared their testimonies and had the privilege of preaching to Asian Outreach staff and at a local church. It was powerful to see their faith expressed with confidence and humility. The team planted trees at the Hope Centre as well—investing in something future mission teams will one day see and enjoy. We are incredibly proud of this team, their unity, their commitment to prayer, and their genuine love for the Cambodian people and for Jesus.

Here are some reflections from students about the impact of the trip:

“What impacted me most today was meeting an elderly lady who couldn’t speak English but clearly showed she struggled to walk. We prayed for her knee and later learned she also had blurred vision. After praying, she said she felt the best she had in a long time and told Pisey, one of the AOC staff, that she would follow Jesus if her knee was healed in the future. I could clearly see God at work in the team.”

“The kids here have so little, yet they’re always smiling and full of energy. We’ve played games, kicked a ball around, run small lessons—so many good memories already. It’s amazing seeing how happy they are with so little. I’m really enjoying it here.”

“Going to Cambodia was truly transformative for me and helped me see life, and my faith, from a new perspective.”

We extend heartfelt thanks to Glenn Carter from Asian Outreach, and to James Forrest, Nikki Clark, and Julie Moynihan for accompanying the team. Thank you also to our wider community for your encouragement, prayer, and financial support. Praise God for His protection, provision, and the impact of this mission.
