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.
