Yes, while Cambodia is in the news for border dispute with Thailand and kidnapping cases, it is generally a safe country.

The government recommends to "exercise a high degre of caution due to increase in petty crime" and to avoid all travel within 50 KM of the Cambodia Thailand border.

Our partner organization, Care Ministries International, have conducted several mission trips in recent years with no issues. We will also take extra precaution on the ground to ensure the safety of all participants.

是安全的。 雖然新聞中常有泰柬邊境衝突和綁架案件，但總體而言，它是一個安全的國家。 政府建議“由於輕微犯罪增加，應高度謹慎”，避免前往泰柬邊境50公里範圍內的所有地區。 我們的合作夥伴機構“國際關懷事工”(CareMinistriesInternational)近年來已成功開展多次宣教之旅，未發生任何意外。我們也將在當地採取額外的預防措施，以確保所有參與者的安全。

Yes, since this is a mission trip, you will be sharing your faith in Christ with the people you encounter.

We expect team members to be baptized. If you are a follower of Jesus, but haven't had a chance to baptized, please speak with Pastor Ronnie.

是的，因為這是一次宣教之旅，你將與人分享基督信仰。 團隊成員都應受洗。如果您已經相信耶穌但尚未受洗，請與殷傳道聯繫。

You can expect to be involved in the following : 

1) Kids Ministry. Share Bible stories in a local school in Phnom Penh and a new church plant in a rural village

2) Visitation and Prayer Walk. Meet the locals, learn their culture and intercede on their behalf.

3) Close up time with missionaries. Learn how international workers build churches and share the gospel in a cross-cultural context

4) Cultural Learning. Experience the food and attractions. More importantly, learn the history of Christianity in the country!

1) 兒童事工 : 在一所金邊的學校和一所在鄉村的教會分享聖經故事。

2) 探訪，為人禱告 : 到當地人家裡探訪，了解他們的生活，為他們的難處代禱。

3) 關懷宣教士 ：了解他們的工作，學習他們如何在異族文化中建立教會傳福音；

4) 學習當地文化: 體驗不同的異域文化，了解歷史中基督信仰如何在苦難中被持守和傳揚。

We expect participants to be active members of the church. If you are regularly attending and serving in church, the Lord has already equipped you for the trip!

Here are skills/qualities we are looking for:

1) Evangelism. Talking about faith in everyday conversations

2) Kids Ministry. Teaching lessons and leading activities

3) Servant Heart. A willing heart to try new things and step out of comfort zone

4) Physical and Mental Health. Cambodia is hot, under-developed and much less comfortable than Toronto.

參與者都應該平時積極參加教會活動和服事。

若有以下恩賜會更好：

1) 傳福音。願意在日常生活中向人講論信仰。

2) 兒童事工。能教授小朋友課程，帶領兒童的節目。

3) 服事的心。願意嘗試新事物，願意走出舒適區。

4) 身體健康。 柬埔寨氣候炎熱，尚在發展之中，舒適度遠不如多倫多，擁有健康的身體特別重要。

Starting February, you will meet about twice a month with a small group of 3 to 5 people to go through a "Journey Guide", that prepares you for cross cultural mission through devotion and sharing. This will be 30 to 60 min, and the group can meet either in person or online.

Additionally, we will also host about 3 large group gathering on Sunday afternoon for team building, lesson plans, and very importantly, learn basic Khmer and worship songs in the local language!

從二月開始，大約一個月有兩次3至5人的小組聚會，研讀《旅程指南》，通過靈修和分享，為跨文化宣教 做好準備。每次聚會時長30至60分鐘，採用線下或線上進行。

此外，我們也有三次主日下午的團體聚會，用於團隊建設、課程計劃，學習基本的柬埔寨語，用當地語言演唱讚美詩!

Yes, since mission is important to our church, there will be subsidy for team members who regularly attend our church.

In the past, participants receive somewhere between 20 ~ 55% of the total cost in subsidy. This depends on a few things:

1) Whether you are planning a side trip (see next question)

2) The church's financial health

3) Mission team fundraising

是的，我們教會很重視宣教工作，將為經常參加教會活動的團隊成員提供補貼。

過去，參與者可獲得總成本的 20% 至 55% 的補貼，具體數額取決於以下因素：

1) 全部行程都在宣教團隊，還是有部分私人行程（見下一題）

2) 教會的財務狀況

3) 宣教團隊籌款

Yes, but with one important caveat.

According to CRA rules, your airfare will be excluded from subsidy if you do not travel with the team to and from Toronto.

For example, if you fly from Toronto to Cambodia with the team, serve in mission, and fly to Japan for personal travel after, the entire airfare itinerary will be excluded from subsidy.

In this case, the church could increase your subsidy on ground cost. But you would still receive significantly less because airfare is the largest expense.

可以。不過享受的補貼會減少。

根據加拿大稅務局(CRA)的規定，若不隨隊往返多倫多，機票將不予補貼。

例如，如果您隨團隊從多倫多飛往柬埔寨短宣結束後，又飛往日本進行私人旅行，則整個機票行程將 不予補貼。 機票是最大的開支，最終所得的補貼會大幅減少。

在這種情況下，教會會適當增加對在當地的食宿交 通等方面的補貼。

We welcome families to go on mission trips together!

However, if your child is under 16 years old, our recommendation is to arrange childcare for them back in Toronto so you can go. If that is not possible, you are welcome to join us in the future!

我們歡迎全家一起參加宣教之旅!

但是，若未滿16歲，孩子不能隨隊前往。請把孩子妥善安置在家後，方可來參加短宣。 如果沒辦法安置孩子，請靜待來年。
