  • Cambodia 2024 was a trip to remember for our mission team members! 🇰🇭

Our students spent a total of three weeks overseas in Cambodia during which they worked with 5 churches and 5 schools who all serve nearly 500 children in remote and rural areas or in communities struggling with poverty. Our Beacons were moved to compassion by the numerous students they met and inspired by the leaders, pastors, and teachers who tirelessly love, minister, and advocate for so many vulnerable children and families in the country.

Great job, Beacons! Way to embrace the journey!
