Tenth Avenue Church and Cambodia

Through a process of discernment, it has become clear that Cambodia is the first strategic nation that Tenth Avenue Church will partner with over the next 10 to 15 years.

The first stage in this process is to gain understanding, identify key relationships and develop these relationships with slow and deliberate intention.
