Youth Center
In September 2005 a DTS outreach team from Kona, Hawaii came to Battambang with a heart from God to pioneer a YWAM base, and their first step from God was to start a Youth Center. The doors were opened and young people began to flood in, hungry to learn English and Truth. The Youth Center is an English language school for Cambodian people from 15-30 years of age. Every day over 400 young people fill our classrooms as they study English and a variety of other subjects, ranging from Hip Hop to Foreign Languages and Bible to Computers. Our classes not only tackle learning a new language, but we also discuss topics relevant to the life of a young person in Cambodia. We discuss topics like: the environment, value and identity, violence, and the life of Jesus. Our goal in all that we are teaching is to start a discussion that leads our students to see the heart of God for individuals, young people, and their nation.
One of the awesome things about the Youth Center is that we are able to develop long-term relationships with the students as they study quarter after quarter, year after year. Over the past 5 years we have seen many students come to know Jesus, and many of those have chosen to study DTS with us! One of the young women leading the Youth Center right now was a former Youth Center student! God is using the Youth Center to raise up Cambodian youth who are now raising up other Cambodian youth!

God continues to speak to us about His heart for Cambodian youth. Every quarter we see that young people’s lives are being significantly impacted by the good news of Jesus. Come be a part of what God is doing as He transforms young people who are going to in turn transform this nation!
