Hi, I’m Liza Wilson, a third-generation Seventh-day Adventist from New Zealand. God willing, I will be serving at the Pnong Project in Cambodia in 2026.

I was raised in a single-parent home and baptised at 19. Calm, caring and creative, I served God in church for many years, participating in music, youth and administrative activities, but I did not truly know Him. God has been faithful through every one of my challenges, growing my faith and trust through each one.

In 2010, I visited Cambodia on a fly-and-build trip. I loved it, it felt like home. I never imagined I could go again.

Now in my early 50s and rebaptized last year, God has opened the way for me to better understand the health message and help in ministry. I am currently serving at Wilderness Wellness in New Zealand. Spiritual lessons come thick and fast, more so, I think, than when I was studying at university, tech or serving at church, though the lessons learned then were valuable. God has taught me a great deal about people, their needs, and myself as I have helped them during the four-day wellness program. At the right time, He brought the people we needed to learn from. Praise the Lord that through helping them, we were blessed.

I have prayed often for the 10/40 window over the past few years. Earlier this year, Pastor Conrad Vine talked with me about AFM, and God planted some seeds that grew months later. Although the Cambodia project was not what I initially applied for, God seems to be opening a door for me to revisit a place I recall fondly. I am happy to serve God wherever He leads. I want to serve Him faithfully, to have His great joy and peace. The only way I see it is through serving Him and others. Please join me in praying for the project, the people and this region, that I may be a fit vessel for my Father’s use, that the gospel may impact lives for God’s glory.
