Training Tomorrow's Leaders

Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We thank God for a fruitful month of training, teaching, and empowering leaders across Cambodia.

In June, we visited a remote CCI class in Takeo Province to encourage the students and observe their progress. The class includes eight students, most of whom are pastors and church leaders who faithfully gather every Sunday afternoon. During our visit, we taught a session on Church Administration and Leadership and enjoyed a meaningful time of learning and fellowship together.

Our monthly pastoral training in Kampot Province also continued as planned, bringing together leaders from 13 local churches. This month's focus on biblical leadership equipped pastors with practical, scriptural principles to strengthen their personal integrity and lead their congregations more effectively.

We also held our monthly Youth Discipleship and Leadership class, with 32 young people participating. These gatherings continue to ground the next generation in God's Word, inspire a mission-minded perspective, and prepare young believers to serve as future leaders in their churches and communities.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and generous partnership. Because of your support, pastors, church leaders, and young believers across Cambodia are being equipped with God's Word to strengthen their churches and faithfully disciple others. Your investment is helping raise up biblical leaders who will impact their communities for generations to come.

In Christ,

Sitha and Srey Nit Dourng

Testimony

Nguon Houng, CCI Bible Student

For nearly four years now, I have had the privilege of studying God's Word in Bible school. Looking back to the beginning of this journey, it was not an easy path. Coming from a traditional Buddhist background, my decision to follow Jesus Christ brought heavy persecution and opposition from my own family, most notably from my own children. They strongly opposed my faith and even hated the God I chose to believe in.

Yet, in those dark and painful moments, God gave me the strength to endure. I chose not to give up. Instead, I continually held them up in prayer, loved them, and never stopped sharing the good news of the gospel with them.

Today, my heart overflows with joy and gratitude. The very children who once persecuted my faith have now surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ! The Lord has broken the chains of this world and opened their eyes to find the true path of salvation. Not only have they believed, but they have also become active, passionate servants of God, dedicating themselves to the work of the local church.

Here is what I always remind my children of, reflecting on God's incredible faithfulness: I still remember vividly when I first believed in Jesus. You, my children, persecuted my faith and hated the God I believed in. But look at you now, you have also come to believe in Jesus because He allowed you to find the way of salvation and set you free from the bonds of this world. Today, you have even become servants of God. The grace of God is truly overwhelming and boundless, having called our entire family to become His children.

Our family's turning point and the anchor of our lives rests upon the truth found in Scripture, Acts 4:12: 'Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.'"
