Saving Susan Ministry was blessed in many ways in 2021! Read more in our Year in Review!

I was blessed by participating while the Cambodia students and the Guatemala students listened to Saving Susan Ministry Associate Board member Jeremiah Aiken give a devotion on the spiritual discipline of fasting.

Tuesday evening at the beautiful Strand Theatre, as we hosted our Parent Partners for a Christmas celebration and Zoom call with our orphan community partners. It was a special time to see the kids on the big screen, wish them Merry Christmas, and hear them sing Christmas songs.

This year at Saving Susan Ministry, we are thankful for many things - our amazing Parent Partners, staff, orphan community partners, the children we serve, our donors, prayer warriors, board members, volunteers, and everyone else who makes this ministry possible. You are a big part of the “abundance” the Lord provides for our ministry.

In late September, we funded a retreat to the seashore in Kampot Province for the children and staff at Bileg Solid Rock. The trip was a rest for all amidst the restrictions and lockdown due to Covid-19, and was filled with fun, laughter, new memories, fellowship and bonding together. More than that, everybody was able to rest in God’s presence as they explored His wonderful creation and took a break from work and school.

We are blessed to announce a partnership with Mario and Rose Morales to be the Discipleship Mentors for our Next Steps college and trade school students in Guatemala.

Last month the Next Steps group had the opportunity to take our first retreat together to Kep, a province on the coast of Cambodia. We left from Phnom Penh and spent two nights enjoying nature, the beach, and the mountains. We also built friendship, reflected, prayed and learned God’s word.

Darren Zelgewicz has worked as a Genesis Elevator mechanic for the past six years. He and his wife Kaydee went on a field trip with Saving Susan Ministry to Cambodia in 2019.

In 2017, the first of Saving Susan Ministry’s Parent-Partnered children graduated from high school - Sona, Sopheak, and Pov. With this, our Next Steps Program was launched, with these three students entering college on Baskin-Bowler Scholarships, a scholarship named in honor of Pastors Jack Baskin and Craig Bowler.

Saving Susan Ministry, Inc. (SSM), a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit organization based in Kennesaw, GA, announced the hiring of Pastor Bill and Allyson Overstreet as Field Trip and Partner Relations Directors. Bill is Senior Pastor at Indian Lake Peninsula Church in Hendersonville, TN, and he and his wife Allyson bring over 30 years of ministry experience to the organization.

The Next Steps community in Cambodia is growing as more of the kids in our parent orphan communities are graduating High School and heading to University. We are grateful for Sokion Ki, who serves as our Discipleship Pastor, and his family as they mentor and love on these students as they grow into adulthood.

Every year at Christmas time, Saving Susan Ministry puts on a campaign we call the Christmas Give. Each year it grows to include more children, more staff, and more people impacted by the gifts received from the dedicated supporters of our ministry.
