Teaching The True Way
BUILDING UP THE CHURCH IN CAMBODIA
1. Gospel Discipleship - I lead classes every weekday at a local Khmer-speaking church, doing daily discipleship for young adults through English lessons and teaching through the Bible. In addition, I'm involved in discipling younger men in weekly studies to know God's word more deeply.
2. Gospel Resources - Solid biblical tools are scarce in the Khmer language. I'm involved in marketing and media with ACTION Cambodia to increase local and international awareness and support for their publishing team. The publishing team helps to created incredible Christian books and online resources from names like Ligonier, Desiring God, 9Marks, Crossway, Truth For Life, Gospel Coalition, and Tim Challies.
3. Gospel Education - I am a teacher at a local post-secondary Bible school known as Global Life University. This University offers Christian education for free to the local Cambodians.
4. Gospel Missions - The work of ACTION International is shared worldwide so that the global church would know God and take action thought sending missionaries. I serve to communicate these mission mandates of God as the social media manager for ACTION.
5. Gospel Church - There is an English-speaking international church in Cambodia named Shalom Phnom Penh Thmei. I am serving as a worship leader and lay-preacher at this local Bible church.
PRAY AND PARTNER
"Most men are not satisfied with the permanent output of their lives. Nothing can wholly satisfy the life of Christ within his followers except the adoption of Christ’s purpose toward the world he came to redeem." (J. Campbell White)
Pray for fruitful harvest in this country that was devastated by the 1970s genocide that killed nearly a quarter of their population. I need prayer support for the next year of missions work with Action International, desiring that God might keep me here longer.
Partner with me as I commit myself to God for missions in Cambodia. In this unreached nation, 99% of their 16 million people do not know Christ as Lord. My mission in Phnom Penh is to live and share Christ among the people, leading urban ministries with daily discipleship and English classes, and supporting the growth of the local church with Bible teaching and resource distribution. I've made a brief summary sheet of my 5 Focuses for ministry for you to click and review. Learn more at my Cambodia and Updates pages.
Help me work alongside the Cambodian church to make disciples in this unreached and under-developed nation. May the serious joy of Jesus Christ shine light into this darkness. Together, may we bring the hope of the gospel to Cambodia through evangelism, discipleship, and development.

ABOUT CAMBODIA
During the Marxist dictatorship of Pol Pot from 1975-1979, the rice fields of Cambodia became forced labor camps known as the “killing fields". The Khmer Rouge guerrilla army massacred an estimated two to three million people. Cambodia is still recovering from this gory civil war. [Read the full article at: The Gospel Coalition]
Dominated by Buddhism and still recovering from the Khmer Rouge genocide, this nation has the lowest GDP per capita among all the Southeast Asian countries. Spiritual darkness, lacking quality of educational and health institutions, and widespread poverty are daily realities in Cambodia.
