Destiny Rescue

When I was first determining what country to take an outreach team to, Destiny Rescue(DR) was one of the first ministries I had heard about in Cambodia. One of the staff members on base was a representative for them and was able to give me some contacts. I informed them that I would be going to Phnom Penh with an all girls team and we just wanted to be of service wherever they needed it. At the same time, Pat Frost (responsible for DR in three slum villages in Phnom Penh), had emailed a representative in Australia asking for a team to share the gospel in the villages. They had been working in the villages as a mercy ministry offering medical and financial help through a sponsorship program. In one of the villages they ran a daycare. They told us that most, if not all, the people we would be working with had never heard the gospel. Pat also shared with me that the women that she works with suffered from low self esteem. They are all trash collectors and each day they search the streets for trash yelling out the Khmer word for "trash". This is what everyone else calls them.
We decided that the best approach to get the message across would be to run kids programs sharing a simplified version of the gospel(which is actually incredibly hard to simplify). Our hope was that during the gospel presentation to the kids, their parents would want to come and find out what was going on as well. This was our ticket into building relationships with the women.
Destiny Rescue is known for it's efforts in stopping the trafficking of children into the sex trade, but also has supporting ministries throughout Southeast Asia. To find out more about this amazing ministry check out their website at:
