PSA!! We switched blog platforms! As much as I would like to stay here (and I‘ll be posting here until it physically kicks me out), I’d love you all to subscribe at the new site to stay updated: https://missional.life/sydney-heltong and continue giving on the new fundraising platform: https://adventuresinmissions.servicereef.com/events/adventures-in-missions-3/staff-support-251595353/participants/sydney-helton because I still need 3,296 dollars to be fully funded! I’m hoping to be fully funded by Christmas (what an amazing gift that would be!) Thank you all for supporting and staying updated with the ways God is moving across the world!! Back to your regular blog post…

We’re coming up on our third week here in Cambodia. It’s been crazy and fun and exhausting and filling all at the same time. The last 2 weeks consisted of village ministry, evangelism, many visits to Temple Coffee (our favorite place where the tables are beds), my 19th birthday which was SO SPECIAL, getting my first tattoo (eek!), making friends with locals and playing with kids every chance I get, sunsets from the roof, and worship nights and intentional nights with some of my favorite people on the planet. Cambodia is nothing short of difficult, but I’m getting used to this. Unfamiliar things now bring familiarity, and things that seemed so insane are now just part of our life. Ministry these past 2 weeks has been eye opening and led to a lot of growth within myself. I feel more in tune with the Spirit (thanks God!) and can’t wait to walk hand in hand with Him as we move into our next phase of ministry! Our team of 7 is moving to a different town to be english teachers at a private school!! I prayed for children’s ministry opportunities and I’m beyond excited to head into this new chapter!!! 

 

peace out from Cambodia!
