L.H.I.C. II

My family has been attending a Cambodian church close to our house. Guess what's called? It's "Living Hope in Christ" Church. Very dynamic intergenerational church. Its founder Rev.Barnabas Mam has an amazing testimony of surviving Khmer Rouge era and doing years of ministry while at a refugee camp (actually many Christians here have unique testimonies). Barnabas is an evangelist, church planter and discipler. I tagged along with him and his team leading a revival meeting in a rural province. It was during Khmer new year holidays which is filled with pagan practices and was at a historic temple site (I went into one of the old temples and it was spiritually challenging experience). Imagine people singing praises to Jesus and responding to the gospel message confronting these dark forces. I was really encouraged to witness that. Here is a clip:



Clearly Cambodian people are very open and responsive to the gospel. But churches are young and small and workers are few. Please pray with us that the Lord of harvest will raise up more workers for His kingdom in Cambodia. - Gil
