Tim Maddocks is married to Wendy, and between them they have 78 years of foreign mission experience. Growing up in Western Australia, they met at Carmel College, marrying when still in their teens. In 1985 they entered foreign mission service in Samoa when just 21 years of age. Moving to Fiji saw the growth of their family with the births of Caleb and Shannon. In 1992, under direct inspiration from the Holy Spirit, Tim moved his family to war-torn Cambodia to work with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency. It was during this time that God laid out to Tim an audacious plan that would see his family move out into the Cambodian countryside to live incarnationally, trusting in God to provide for his family's and ministry's needs. Tim and Wendy founded SALT Ministries-Cambodia in 1996, primarily to prepare new members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to become church planters and facilitating the planting of churches in north-west Cambodia. This family-run ministry has subsequently built two schools, an orphanage, media centre, and butterfly garden. Tim enjoys speaking on missions, spiritual warfare, and living in the presence of God. He currently serves as a board member for the Cambodia Adventist Mission, Adventist Development and Relief Agency Cambodia and Jesus for Asia, and as a General Conference task force member for Adventist Possibilities Ministries. He has also held several honorary departmental positions at the Cambodia Adventist Mission and served as a lay district pastor in the northeast of Cambodia.
