Kosal is Khmer. He was raised a devout Folk Buddhist in a rice-farming village that lies near the Cambodian-Vietnam border. Tori is American. She was raised in a Christian family from a small town in Alabama. They met at a local church in Southeast Asia in 2012, while Tori was serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators as a facilitator for a chronological Bible storying project. After God united their lives together in marriage, He also blended their visions to continue serving the Bibleless people of Southeast Asia.
Today, Kosal and Tori live and work among the Bibleless by translating Scripture materials and engaging local communities with God and His Word through trauma healing ministry. Kosal is also the director of the Healing Distress Organization, a local non-profit, that was established in 2022 to legally carry out the trauma healing ministry across all provinces in Cambodia.
Like the striking contrast of their childhoods, so is the power of God’s restoration for those suffering. God invites the Kongs daily to enter the pain of others’ lives. As His Word connects those suffering to God, Our Healer, you are invited to join God’s work through the Kongs’ Wycliffe ministry with your prayers and finances.

Wycliffe Ministry Budget
Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its members to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts members' ability to begin and remain in their assignment.
This monthly budget covers ministry-related expenses, insurance and retirement, social security and taxes, and Wycliffe administrative costs. The remainder is what the members receive as "take-home pay" for their daily living expenses.
