YOUTH MISSIONS TRIP- SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA

A group from the Youth Ministry went on a mission trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia, in Nov 2023 and this is their story. You need only to speak with any of these young people who went for the trip, and the way their eyes light up are a testament to how these young people went in faith and met God in a truly transformative way.
