Lessons from 16 Years in Cambodia 🇰🇭

**Lesson #6 – Different doesn't mean wrong.**

When preparing young people to travel to Cambodia, I teach them something I call my **Chair Theory.**

Imagine sitting in a chair with your back to a door.

Someone standing in front of you insists the door is in front of them. You insist it's behind you.

You could argue about it all day.

**But you're both right.**

You're simply seeing the same thing from different perspectives.

Now move the chair, and suddenly you're both looking at the door from the same perspective.

Sixteen years in Cambodia has taught me that so much of what we consider 'normal' is simply what we're used to.

We travel with our own habits, expectations and ideas about how things should be done. But different doesn't mean wrong.

My Cambodian friends have challenged my thinking, broadened my understanding and taught me to see the world through a different lens.

And I'm still learning!

I believe God places people in our lives who gently remind us that we don't have all the answers.

**Sometimes, instead of trying to convince someone we're right, we simply need to move our chair.**

16 Lessons from 16 Years in Cambodia

LESSON #5 — Sometimes the person who changes the most is the one who came to help.

I’ve lost count of the number of young people I’ve watched board a plane to Cambodia, excited about the adventure ahead and eager to make a difference.

But some of my most treasured moments have happened after we’ve returned home.

The phone calls and emails from parents telling me they’ve noticed something different in their son or daughter. A lady who was once exhausted from carrying her families mental load, now has a renewed sense of purpose.

A newfound confidence. A greater appreciation for what they have. A willingness to step outside their comfort zone. Or perhaps, for the first time, a real understanding that they have something valuable to contribute to the world.

And here’s what I’ve learnt.

Sometimes we need to step outside our familiar surroundings to discover things about ourselves that were there all along.

I’ve watched young people who doubted themselves discover they could lead. Those who thought they had nothing to offer realise their kindness, patience, creativity or willingness to listen could make a difference.

But I’ve also watched our Cambodian friends teach us lessons about generosity, resilience, faith and community that we could never have learnt in a classroom.

The beautiful thing about serving is that learning goes both ways.

I believe God has created every one of us with value, gifts and purpose. We don’t have to travel halfway around the world to find those things, but sometimes stepping outside everything familiar gives us the opportunity to recognise them.

And after 16 years, I’m still discovering that myself.

I often say, “When you know better, you do better.”

Perhaps that’s one of the greatest gifts of these experiences. We come home knowing a little more, understanding a little better, and hopefully choosing to live a little differently.

There’s something incredibly powerful about women supporting women.

Think about the women who have made a difference in your life. The friend who stood beside you, the woman who believed in you, or the one who simply knew how to make you laugh when you needed it most.

Some of the greatest gifts I’ve received in my life have come through other women.

And sometimes, one of the greatest gifts we can give someone is simply JOY.

On our recent Ladies Cambodia trip, we spent time alongside some remarkable Cambodian women. No classrooms, no lessons, no expectations. Just women coming together, sharing laughter, having fun and enjoying each other’s company.

Different cultures. Different languages. Different life experiences. Yet laughter needs no translation.

Over 16 years of travelling to Cambodia, I’ve learnt that making a difference isn’t always about what we can teach, what we can do or what we can give.

Sometimes it’s about showing up, making time for one another, sharing a little silliness and reminding someone that they matter.

God has given each of us gifts worth sharing, and sometimes the most beautiful gift we can offer is the joy of simply being together.

Because when women encourage women, joy has a way of spreading.

HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES WITH TEENS — CAMBODIA 2027

We’re getting closer to our October 2027 Cambodia experience for homeschooling families, and our first online Parent Information Session is happening next week!

Monday 12 October | 10:00am Brisbane time

This trip has been created especially with teens in mind — combining Cambodia’s incredible culture and history with opportunities to learn about social justice, ethical service, local communities and the work of trusted organisations I’ve built relationships with over many years.

It’s designed for families to experience Cambodia together — to learn, ask questions, serve, explore and come home seeing the world a little differently.

Families with children of different ages are welcome, but some of the content and activities are particularly suited to teenagers.

If you’ve been watching this trip and wondering whether it could be right for your family, come along to the online session and hear more.

Comment INTERESTED below and I’ll send you the trip information and details to register your interest for Monday’s session.

GO. LEARN. LOVE. SERVE.

Every journey begins with a YES.

A willingness to step into something new.
To use what is already in your hands.
To learn. To serve. To trust God with the rest.

These women said yes.

Some came with years of professional experience. Some were still studying. Some stepped into classrooms and roles they had never imagined themselves in. Some travelled with people they had never met before.

They brought sewing, hairdressing, beauty, counselling, teaching, creativity, faith and a willingness to simply show up and give what they had.

And I had the extraordinary privilege of watching each of them discover that what they carried was enough.

That is one of the things I love most about these journeys.

You don’t need to be extraordinary.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You don’t need to know exactly how God might use you.

Sometimes you just need to say YES.

To Catherine, Zoe, Jamei, Michelle, Beth, Kiarah and Georgia — thank you for trusting me with your journey and for the way you loved, learned and served.

It was an absolute privilege to share Cambodia with you.

GO with courage.
LEARN with humility.
LOVE with compassion.
SERVE with purpose.

And perhaps 2027 is your year to say YES.
