Collaboration In Cambodia In his final prayer for the future generations of disciples, people that would someday become menbers of the kingdom, jesus prayed.... that all of them may b one. And while most Christians would gladly acknowledge that they value oneness in the Kingdom, living and acting that out can sometimes be another story. It seems that the more we invest and sacrifice for something, the more tightly we want to hold it. Imagine how much more careful we are eith a special family heirloon than something not-so-special from Walmart. The more precious something is to us, the more difficult it is for us openly share. Its no wonder then, in the world of Christian ministry, that its hard for us to let go and to share with others.Despite this prayer for oneness from John 17, many people in ministry have individually given up jobs, houses, fields, relationshiop, etc., to seek Gods mission ofr their lives. They have spent endless hours in prayer, rallied support from their families and couunities, and labored painstakingly to craft the vision, the mission, and the message of what God has called them to do. Most then rightly value this mission not only as something near and dear to the heart of God, but something that belongs to them as well. It;shard to work together.. it makes sense...its hard to let go. But at World Orphans, we dont think that lets us offthe hook. Webelieve God has called us to something higher than being defined by our individual missions. We believe that how we do our work can communicate more ofthe godpel than we do. And son in Cambodia, as World Orphans strives to do the work of God with the values of the Kingdom,we are excited to enter a partnership with a local organization named Children in Families (CIF). The goal of this partnership is to provide a better platform for serving the needs of children, families, and chruches in Cambodia through collaboration. In this joint project, CIF will focus its recources on the clinical and administrative needs of the children, and World Orphans will seek to work through chruches to help for the relational and spiritual needs of the children and families. We believe that working together, collaboratively, with open hands an hearts, faithfully seeking to honor God through out Partneships, brings to Him and help to his people.
