At the beginning of this summer, I had the pleasure to hear Jeff Lai share about his journey to full-time missions in Cambodia. Before the pandemic, I had aspirations to travel to see the world, embrace different cultures, and explore God’s creation. However, God had different plans for me at the time which was when I realized that he wanted to prepare my heart first for greater things.

The pandemic led me on a journey of spiritual growth, seeking God and finding myself. Eventually, I moved to Vancouver where God has steadily been working in my life, putting His mission in my heart to build the church and make disciples of all nations! I got the opportunity to get involved in my church by serving the local community through outdoor events, alpha programs, and street ministries, where I got to meet people from all over the world and from different walks of life than myself.

As the world opened up again for travel, God reawakened my desire to see the world but also to keep seeking God first and His mission for the world. So when I heard Jeff’s story, I was inspired and wanted to find out if there was more I could do to help than to pray and donate to his ministry.

By God’s providence, Jeff had been praying for someone with technical skills who would be able to help their team, so this was confirmation for me that I should go on this short-term mission trip to Cambodia! Since then, God has truly paved the path for this trip and has been putting the right people in my path to help prepare me for this mission.

I’m very thankful for Jeff’s guidance and discipleship as he’s helped me prepare for missions. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure to get to know him better as a brother and getting a glimpse of what it actually looks like to be a missionary. I’m looking forward to getting to come along with Jeff and his team as they continue to seek God’s mission to make disciples in Cambodia.

This was the reason that I set up this fundraising campaign to help support Jeff and his team because I firmly believe in what God is doing in their ministry in Cambodia! Please help me support Jeff and his team financially and in prayer! Even though I'm funding my own trip, I would also greatly appreciate it if you would pray for me as well as I go on this short-term mission trip from October 24 to November 24, 2022.
