Mission Kampuchea 2021

One Sunday morning, the visiting pastor at the Khmer service we attend called anyone who wanted special prayer or healing to come forward. A few people went forward, then more. First the older ones, then the younger. In the end, it seemed that more went forward than stayed in their seats. Those in their seats may have wanted to go forward too. To us, it was a simple picture of the desire of Khmer people for the presence and healing of Christ. God is moving in Cambodia. People are longing for the shalom that only comes from Christ.


One way that the church is responding in faith and obedience is through MK 2021. This movement aims to have a cell group/church in every village by the year 2021. Many church denominations and mission organizations in Cambodia have joined the movement. A survey of existing churches and programs is being undertaken with a view to determining areas of need and places that may have been overlooked or under-served. Based on the survey, more specific strategies will be developed and churches and missions will share the work.

We are very excited about MK2021 because the church is united in this effort. The movement is for evangelism, but not only for evangelism. The dream is for transformed people and a vibrant church to witness to the whole nation through Christian faithfulness. Though the church is small, the vision is big: for a great awakening in this great country.

We are also excited that the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia (EFC) is the backbone of the initiative. This blanket organization is coordinating and facilitating MK2021 alongside of its other work. One of our mandates is to support the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia in its ministry. Even while we are studying the language, we have set up an office at EFC. We have been invited to work with the staff at the central office in spiritual formation. We will also be consultants to some of its programs and agencies.


We are very thankful for the welcome that EFC has extended to us and the opportunities it is offering for us to support and empower its work in Cambodia.
