This month we are in the city of Phnom Phen, Cambodia! We are partnered with Team Oasis and doing a different kind of ministry than we’ve ever done before. We are helping an organization called Cambodia Outreach re-launch their website. Their current site is outdated and has too much information on it, which makes it difficult to read and get the correct information from. So we are redesigning, streamlining and editing. The website is getting a complete revamp.They want the site to be easy for westerners to read so they can be aware of what is all going on with Cambodia Outreach and all the different ministries they facilitate.
We are working at a non denomenational church called New Life Fellowship (NLF) which was birthed out of Cambodia Outreach. Our job is to go around and interview staff and collect up to date information to put on the web. NLF has tons of amazing and different ministries so it makes the task a bit daunting. They have wanted to clean up the website for a long time but the staff are so busy that its basically impossible to get a task of this magnitude done. It is one of their biggest needs as a ministry right now.
Here’s the cool part – they have been praying for months for God to send them a team that is skilled in media. God gave them several confirmations and then we showed up! It is so awesome to be an answer to prayer! Not all of us are major media people, but we have two people who have had jobs as web designers and have worked in IT. We have editors, writers, creative types and talented videographers – which is exactly what NLF has needed!
Their top priority is this website so they can get the word out about Cambodia Outreach and direct people to the website instead of handing out tons of pamphlets or having to email the same information over and over again. If properly done, it will be a major time saver, especially for the busy staff.
Praise God for hearing his people and answering their needs!
