We're thrilled to welcome the Caringbah Baptist Church (Caringbah, New South Wales) as our first partnering church from the great country of Australia!​

Pastors Jonathan "Jono" Shanks, Paul Summers and Broderick Storey visited Cambodia with a team from the church in February 2013 and returned home with a passion for the ministry of Asia's Hope and a vision for partnering with us to start a new home in Battambang that will rescue and raise 20-25 orphaned children.​

​They presented the vision to the congregation, who responded enthusiastically and generously. Within just a few weeks of launching the initial fundraising campaign, the church has already raised 100% of the funds necessary to start construction on what will be our Battambang 10 children's home!

​We're thrilled about this partnership, and believe that CBC is the first of many projects sponsored by Australian churches. We are already talking about establishing Asia's Hope as a registered charity in Australia, and hope to make progress toward that goal over the next 24 months.

Please pray for Caringbah Baptist, and for the children they will be sponsoring.​
