Vision for Ministry

Our purpose is to be God’s hands and feet to the world around us. We commit to being disciples who make disciples, inspiring lasting change in people’s lives as they encounter Christ. We understand that one way to disciple Cambodian young people is through a business approach.  We aim to do this by modeling transformed lives through business. Our business aim is to create job opportunities with fair wages for Cambodian young people. We strive to nurture a working environment where young people feel safe, seen, and encouraged to become who God is calling them to be.

Phase one of Launch includes personal discipleship activities through online modules. For phase two of Launch, participants spend two weeks at the end of June learning alongside their Launch cohort (a group of others preparing for service) before heading to their outreach locations. In phase three of Launch, workers continue to connect online with their Launch cohort for up to a year as they navigate ministry in their country of service.
