Cambodia

People group: Khmer
Population: 14 million
Main religion: Buddhism

Our team in Cambodia lives daily life alongside their Khmer friends, engaging with cultural and community events and celebrations. They serve the community through supporting local schools, offering therapy for children with disabilities, mentoring young people and discipling Khmer believers.

“Khmer people are highly committed to their families and community. Hardships are owned by the entire family and life decisions are made together. In this context, it can be difficult for someone to make a personal decision to follow Jesus.

‘It’s a hard life, but a good life’, a Khmer person once told me. Khmer people accept the uncertainty in their lives. Nevertheless, seeking a better life for future generations is important.

This desire for a better life provides opportunities for the team to support Khmer people in a range of areas, including health education, social work, disability support, life and vocational skills training, spiritual formation and sports ministries.”
