Welcome to our 30-day devotional for short-term mission teams. The following devotional will be both tough and no-nonsense because we desire for teams to be thoroughly prepared to serve in Cambodia, and we want to limit the possibility that a team could hurt God’s efforts to rescue and transform the abused. Each day, click on the corresponding link below to get the devotional for that day. If you would like to download the full PDF devotional, please click on the PDF icon to the right.
