Cambodia
Brian and Lydia are member missionaries sent out from Hampton Park. Brian was born and raised on the campus of Bob Jones University where his parents were on staff. He earned an undergraduate degree in Bible, followed by a Master of Divinity degree. Lydia grew up in the Philippines where her parents were missionaries. She attended BJU, where she met Brian, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Counseling. Brian and Lydia were married in 2001.
In the summer of 2002, Brian, along with Jeremy Farmer and Josh Jensen, visited the Crowley family in Ban Lung, Cambodia. Though the Kanes had long had a burden for missionary service, this survey trip turned Brian’s heart to the people of Cambodia. The following year the Kanes were accepted into EMU as missionaries to Cambodia.
The Kanes moved to Cambodia in 2007. After language study in Phnom Penh, they began serving the Krung church leaders in the Ratanakiri province primarily through Bible teaching and discipleship. Brian is also assisting with the Krung Bible translation.
The Kanes have seven children: Mia, Sophia, Hugh, Jackson, Julia, Brianna, and Natalia.
