“Choum Reab Sour!” (that is, “Hello!” in Khmer language)
Thank you very much for partnering with me! God is indeed faithful and made our missions trip to Cambodia a fruitful one. It was another life-changing experience for me to be among the Khmer people and learn, first-hand, their culture. Let me share with you what transpired during our missions trip to Cambodia.

We were able to pray for the different universities and government offices of Cambodia on site. The locals were so warm and friendly. We were able to meet some Khmer students and got to know them better; most were working students. They are already the children of the Khmer generation who experienced the cruelty of the Pol Pot regime. We spent time hanging around with them after their classes which gave us the opportunity to inform them about the Post-Valentine’s Party that our host church, Every Nation (EN) – Cambodia, organized. This is one of the events of EN-Cambodia to attract students to their English Language classes which make use of the Bible as textbook.

It was indeed a humbling experience to go back once again to the campuses and be able to share the gospel to Khmer students as it was done to me during my college days in Manila. I felt the same compassion for these young people who are mostly Buddhists. As the group shared the love of Christ with them, I felt in my heart that, beyond their smiling faces, they were longing for something deeper, spiritually, which only our Lord Jesus Christ can give them.

Again, I would like to thank you for believing in the call of God in my life to go to other nations and share the good news of Christianity! You’ve been a part of the continuing fulfillment of God’s destiny for my life!

Aw-kun Charran, (Thank you),
