About Freely Given

Our family of seven is called to serve as full-time missionaries and build a team of volunteers in the small, southeast Asian country of Cambodia. In this land of palm trees, rice paddies, and water buffalo, 98% of the population is Buddhist. The spiritual, economic, and medical needs are vast, making the words of Jesus keenly felt; “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” (Matthew 9:37) We are truly honored to serve the Lord among the warm-hearted and joyful people of Cambodia. Read on to learn about what the Lord has started through FreelyGiven!

What We Do:

Medical Ministry

Quality medical care remains a significant need in Cambodia. A large portion of the population cannot afford even basic medical care. We work with the local church to host monthly clinics at rural parishes. In this setting, we not only provide free medical care and free medication, but simultaneously draw unreached people to the church. We have been blessed to provide medical treatment for hundreds of poor Cambodians. In addition to our regular clinics, we provide well child checks at rural schools, the number of home visits Jacelyn provides grows every month, and she frequently helps patients locate and access care when they need a specialist.

Strengthening Local Churches

This aspect of our work takes many forms and is building treasured relationships with our Cambodian church family!

One of our greatest joys has been to partner with the Pastoral Home, a ministry for at-risk children. This beautiful work was started by a Cambodian family and is partially supported by our parish in Siem Reap. The children served at the pastoral home, which number about 75, are impoverished and come from homes disrupted by drugs, prostitution, and incarceration. These children have found a safe refuge at the pastoral home, where they gather twice a week for dinner, devotions, and prayer. It is a great privilege to be a part of their lives. Several of our specific contributions include providing medical care for the children and their families, completing renovation projects at the home with mission teams, and funding the annual Christmas and Easter parties. These parties are an incredible blessing to children who are rarely made to feel that they are important. Not only was our initial Christmas part the very first Christmas party the children had ever attended, but it was where they received their first-ever Christmas gift.

Additional ways FreelyGiven Inc. has supported local churches:

Rose Ministry

There is, sadly, a large prostitution industry in Cambodia. When confronted with this reality, we prayed for a way to bring the light of Christ to the women working in this dark world. Through our prayers we were led to bless them with a simple gift, freely given. We do this by presenting these women with a rose that includes an attached message of their immense worth and setting forth the hope of salvation. This effort has been well-received, and the women express heartfelt gratitude. We have steadily increased the number of roses we hand out each month, and there is definitely need to expand further as resources allow.

Nic and Jacelyn founded FreelyGiven Inc. We live in Cambodia with our 5 children and it is our hope to remain here long term doing medical missions and building up the local church. An additional aspect of our calling is to facilitate missions experiences for others, including both missions trips and long term assignments.

Keegan

Keegan arrived in late September and is excited to jump heart-first into the mission of Freely Given! Keegan is a social worker by degree, pickleball player by sport, and servant heart by nature. When she learned about Freely Given, Keegan quit her job, organized her affairs, and bought a plane ticket. The best and rest of the story is yet to come, so stay tuned!

Support Staff

(Team Members We Still Need)

 There are several roles that can provide significant assistance to this ministry, enabling us to not only serve more Cambodians, but also open our doors to more mission trips and gap year students. 

All teachers will adhere strictly to this dress code. :)

TEACHER: The Davidson crew will have 4 school aged children for the next 5 years, and our youngest hasn’t even started Kindergarten … so homeschooling will be a continuing need in our family for many years! First and foremost, we prefer to homeschool our children for the betterment of their spiritual lives. In addition, however, homeschooling is a necessity in our location. At the current time in Cambodia, only the capital city offers high school education that meets requirements for college admission outside of Cambodia. Due to this, some missionary families feel they have no choice but to return home when their children reach high school. Other families move to the capital, where the majority of missionaries already live. It is our hope to remain in Siem Reap, which provides excellent access to the rural villages where we desire to concentrate our ministry. Having assistance in the schooling of our children will help make this possible. The presence of a teacher has been an incredible blessing to our family during our first year here. It is our sincere hope that this same blessing will be poured out on those who are called to support our ministry in this way. 

Social_Media_Marketing_Images

MEDIA PERSONNEL: We are always blessed by any assistance in keeping our humble website up to date (or improving said website). We also love to share our work through online videos and blogs, but somehow struggle to find the time in the midst of caring for our children, schooling, language study, meals, laundry, sweeping, sleep (you get the idea 😊). Our ability to share our faith and calling, and encourage others to follow God’s leading in their life, would increase exponentially in the hands of someone with a passion for online media! Even more, our Christ-focused online impact would extend beyond the US to our brothers and sisters in Cambodia (who utilize social media on par with Americans). 

Joining our team in Cambodia to serve as a media specialist could be just the opportunity a creative, tech-savvy person is looking for, who desires to use their talents for the Lord.
