Over the next few weeks Cambodians will be celebrating Chinese New Year with street processions, idol worship, gruesome rituals, and drunkeness. This brings an atmosphere of chaos and carelessness that results in many traffic accidents and other issues.
Please pray with us for peace and safety for our staff, their families, our community, and Cambodia as a whole.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day here in Cambodia, and sadly what should be a benign celebration of love is interpreted as a day where rape and immorality are considered normal (you can read more about Valentine's Day rape culture at
Please pray with us that young people in Cambodia would not use this holiday as an opportunity for abuse or sin, but rather that God would reveal His love and His design for loving relationships.
In two days Cambodia will have one of it's many religious holidays. Meak Bochea Day is for honoring Buddha and offering numerous sacrifices at local temples. Much time and money is put into these sacrifices by families who don't have enough to take care of themselves. Pray for Cambodians' eyes to be opened to the waste and futility of these rituals, and for revelation of the FREE gift of salvation which Jesus offers to them. Also pray that new Christians would not be swayed by family pressures to take part in idolatry.
