ETS keeps missionaries in the field by supporting their highest priority, their own children, through 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.

  • Experiences to share include science education degrees, teaching and administrative experience, and experience of navigating disabilities of students, including my own children.

  • At Ddembe Ministries, I will bring educational materials which will help me tutor the children in areas of education gaps from the trauma, abuse, and neglect they were rescued from as they transitioned to the orphanage.

  • 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.

  • 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
