Team Trips
Every year we bring teams in-country to serve the children of Saving Susan Ministry on our Team Trips.
These trips are focused on building and strengthening relationships with the kids we serve and with those who care for them.
Are you ready to join us?

In June Saving Susan Ministry poured into our Next Steps students in Guatemala City and served with a team for the first time at our newest children's home partner, Manos de Compasion.

In August a team returned to Cambodia, including four Parent Partner families, who were able to spend time with their kids for the first time since the pandemic. They spent time pouring into our Next Steps students, serving at each of our partner children's homes, and planning for our Music Academy in Cambodia next year.

In September a team of 13, many on their first mission trip, from 7 different churches joined to serve with our partners and children in Guatemala.

2018
April 2nd-7th - Guatemala
Away from the hustle of city buzz there is a compound focused on healing and restoration. House of Hope children’s home is a safe space where loving staff utilize a variety of opportunities to rebuild orphaned and abandoned children. Our team joined together for a week of pouring into the children, the staff, and the facility.
August 11th-18th - Cambodia
In August 2018 we returned to Bileg to spend time with our kids and participate in local mission programs. One highlight was attending graduation at Bileg, with Jay Arntzen as the featured speaker, and taking part in celebrations including music and games. We also led a baseball clinic with more than 100 kids, shared the gospel with them, worshipped at Pastor Sihok’s church, and walked the Killing Fields, a sad reminder of Cambodia’s tragic history.
2017
July 13-22 - Cambodia
UPDATE: Check out the recap here
In 2017 a group of twenty nine people visited Cambodia and serve Sanctuary Church and Saving Susan Partners in Cambodia. The Lord provided a team full of unique talents and skills that was utilized to love on and help the great people in each of the ministries we served in country.
2016
November - Guatemala
We spent four days with House of Hope in Guatemala serving the staff, giving Parent Partners time with their children, and praying for the children who do not yet have Parent Partners. House of Hope is a unique facility that not only houses the children, but also provides schooling and raises chickens and goats used fund and feed the children. God is alive and at work here and we would love to talk to you about participating in a future trip to Guatemala.
