Who we are

    
           
   

  Tim and Darlene Ratzloff

   Tim and Darlene Ratzloff have lived and worked in Cambodia since 1996. Specific ministries have changed and developed over the years. They taught English at University of Phnom Penh. Darlene developed an English training program for a Hong Kong-based mission. For five years, they helped a Cambodian organization to strengthen its orphanage ministry and develop a variety of agriculture activities and outreach ministries.

   Now Tim and Darlene are building and empowering a team of Cambodians to serve the needs of other Cambodians. Jumpah has initiated holistic responses on behalf of orphans, families living with AIDS, and poor villagers.

   On the side, Tim has established a project offering professional video production services to the mission and non-government communities. Darlene manages the Tuol Koak Coffee Grounds, offering a variety of coffee and fruit drinks, as well as homemade desserts and delicious lunches.

  
           
 


    Mountain View Community Church

   The people at Mountain View Community Church have 'sent' the Ratzloffs to minister in Cambodia.

   MVCC, located in Snohomish, Washington, is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination. The MVCC governing board has seconded the Ratzloffs to work with an international organization in Cambodia.

  
           
 


    Christian Care For Cambodia

   CCFC is a Non-Government Organization formed by a consortium of Christian agencies. CCFC provides a variety of compassionate and holistic ministries that address humanitarian concerns. CCFC has an international board of directors. In Cambodia, the Ratzloffs and other teammates are accountable to a country director.

   Member agencies of CCFC include American Baptist Churches, Missionary Aviation Fellowship, Church Missionary Society, and Pioneers.

  Who we serve  

   Whoever falls within the boundaries of our projects will have opportunities to grow and develop in skills, knowledge and experience.

   But activities will always 'target' disadvantaged and marginalized people in Cambodia. These groups will include orphans, widows, terminally ill and the poor, particularly the rural poor.
 
Why we serve

   Our faith in Jesus motivates us to serve other people as Jesus served people. We desire to help people improve their quality of life, to realize their potential. As people are transformed, they can then help transform the lives of other people. In the process, we want people to know and understand Jesus and have an opportunity to accept the claims of Jesus.
 
How we serve

    Project activities first motivate, train and equip Cambodians to serve the needs of other Cambodians.

   Communities, families and individuals impacted by our activities quickly learn and understand that our services are done 'in the name of Jesus.'

   Relationships foster understanding and trust.
Training is demonstrated through modeling.
Partnerships are long term.
People who work hard and participate are 'rewarded' by receiving additional opportunities to learn and grow.

   A Jumpah flower rarely blossoms in Cambodia. People pluck the slender white buds to enjoy their elegant beauty and their mild fragrance. In the same way, orphans and other children, widows and poor Cambodians have very little opportunity to reach their potential as people created in the image of God. With your help, we can encourage, nurture and enable at least some to blossom.
