In 2013, a
little girl would change Tracy and Jay Arntzen’s life forever. While on a
mission trip to Cambodia, Jay Arntzen met a 5-year-old girl named Vichika at an orphanage there. Not able to pronounce her name, Jay nicknamed
her “Susan,” and she became the catalyst for the Saving Susan Ministry which
has brought life and hope to many orphans in Cambodia.
Tracy and Jay
started the Saving Susan Ministry to reverse the effects of abandonment felt by
orphans. The God-inspired
vision of Saving Susan Ministry is to match orphans with Parenting Partners,
who will provide love, financial support and relational encouragement to these
forgotten children. Through regular Skype calls, orphans and families will grow
in their love and knowledge of one another. This covenant relationship helps these children build
their future with hope.
Through the
open hearts of Tracy and Jay, Saving Susan is currently giving life through
their work in Cambodia, a country whose borders are closed to international
adoption due to human trafficking. Their prayer is that doors will open in
other countries where the need is also great.
Meanwhile, in Cambodia, Vichika (“Susan”) is moving beyond abandonment
and being daily restored with hope and future through the love and support of
Tracy and Jay Arntzen.
