All proceeds will go to my daughter’s (Kristi Ralston Ashmead) missionary in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where she has been working for four years. This year she has started a new mission working for Hard Places Community and below is their mission statement:
Hard Places Community (HOC) is an organization that exists to bring light and the Gospel into dark places, focusing on helping individuals that are vulnerable to abuse and human trafficking. They do this through having kids clubs, investigating and rescuing, and teaching new skills to men taken out of brothels. The newest ministry of HPC is the Punlok Thmey Early Learning Center, which seeks to provide a safe place for children of single mothers who are unable to work because they have no one to care for their child. They will get to learn, play, and hear the gospel while giving their parents the opportunity to find work and provide for their family.
