Food has a special way of drawing people together, and Cambodian food is no different. 

The "Taste of Cambodia" on May 24 was a memorable evening of:

  • Eating tasty Cambodian food including; Loc Lac (beef steak), chicken curry, wings and papaya salad washed down with delicious lemongrass iced tea.
  • Hearing from folks that have been impacted by Cambodian including one of our missionaries serving in Cambodia with DOVE, Lynn Ogata. 
  • Learning more about our 9 years in Cambodia and our amazing partners.   

Moving forward with our vision over the next few years will require a Vancouver-based Cambodia team that will serve Cambodia in the following areas:

  1. Marketing and Communications:  Writing and sharing partner stories to show impact / changed lives, raise awareness and raise funds.  Includes copywriting, filmmaking, photography, social media. 
  2. Events and Hospitality:   Sharing the vision and educating the community through holding events and hosting missionaries.
  3. Finances and Legal:  Creating and rolling out MOUs with Cambodian partners, and ensuring high-quality book keeping and accountability. 
  4. Team Leadership:  Developing servant leaders to assist and eventually lead teams in Vancouver and to Cambodia.
  5. Business as Mission:  Supporting and developing business as mission in Cambodia and Vancouver. 
  6. Partner Liaison:  Serving as a key point person for a Cambodian partner in prayer, relationship and communication. 
  7. Regional Missions Liaisons:  Serving as a point person for a regional group of our 25 missionaries that we support in Africa, Europe, Canada, Asia (excluding Cambodia).
