Saving Susan Ministry, a Christ-centered non-profit organization dedicated to reversing the effects of orphan abandonment, is the vision of Jay Arntzen. In 2013, a team from Sanctuary Church travelled to Cambodia and spent seven days in churches, orphan communities and other facilities encouraging, worshiping, preaching the gospel, and praying with and for missionaries, orphans and others in the v
illages. An orphan community located within a Christian compound, Bileg Solid Rock Baptist Church, through God’s intervention became the birthplace of Saving Susan Ministry. It was at Solid Rock that Jay and Jared Arntzen met a 5-year-old girl named Vichika. Jay, not able to pronounce her name, nicknamed her Susan. Their bond, through God’s grace, became the catalyst for Saving Susan Ministry. The God inspired vision of Saving Susan Ministry is to match orphans with Parenting Partners, who will provide love, financial support and relational encouragement. Through regular Skype calls, orphans and families will grow in their love and knowledge of one another.
