“And He Himself gave some to be ….. teachers,

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,

for the edifying of the body of Christ,”  Ephesians 4:11-12

ETS supports missionaries with education.

“After Bible, math homework was our nightly routine.”

Pictured are Ddembe kids taking a break after school. They struggle because they missed key learning opportunities when they were young and their minds were in survival mode.

“Your sending Margie there means the missionaries can do their job and stay on the field while their own children can be educated at the American level. Hard Places works with children 3-14 who are sexually exploited on a regular basis. Children will be set free if we can continue.” -Alli Mellon, director

Pictured are missionaries celebrating serving in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for 10 years. Some not pictured have had to return to the US to meet the educational needs of their own children.

  • Experience I have to share includes science education degrees, teaching and administrative experience, and experience of navigating disabilities of students, including my own children.

  • At Hard Places Community, I will tutor missionary kids with the struggles they have as they navigate frequent travel and learning challenges, to free the parents working to bring Jesus to the sex tourist districts of Phenom Penh. I will also train youth and kids’ club staff in Phenom Penh and in Siem Reap, and collaborate with the youth director in writing a youth curriculum. A new goal this year is to travel to the new site in Madagascar to help train the staff there.

  • In Kenya, I will work alongside Youth Venture in the schools. I will also work with CMM’s college conference, teaching break-out sessions to students desiring discipleship.

  • Here is how your financial support through IOM will help me help missionaries:

    • Provide travel expenses

    • Pay for expenses while living there so as not to burden the missionaries

    • Purchase educational materials
