Cambodia

Pray with us for the imminent launch of our Harvest Appeal, seeking to address hunger in multiple countries. Please pray for: - a positive response to the appeal - wisdom for both governments and local communities seeking to address the causes of so much hunger - conflict, climate change and the rising cost of living - our partners in countries affected, all seeing a rise in families struggling to feed themselves, including in Zambia, Malawi, Cambodia, Uganda and Bangladesh

From the 21st to the 17th July we give thanks for work delivered through our Children At Risk fund, helping us act in times of crisis, deliver planned interventions and start new initiatives. Give thanks for: - helping domestic violence victims and HIV+ children in Sri Lanka - improved educational facilities in Ethiopia and South Sudan - bikes for secondary school students in Zimbabwe - the delivery of urgent medical help for children worldwide - all the donors who support our Children At Risk programme.

Mekong Minorities – The Dong people group live in very remote areas in the region around the Mekong River. Pray for creative ways for gospel workers to share the good news of Jesus in these areas.

Please pray for Al Massira International and for several trainings (some already underway) in countries in SE Asia. A worker couple are witnessing to Middle Eastern students; others are witnessing to people from East Asia; others are witnessing to SE Asians. Please pray for another training in the SE Asia region next month. May the AM resources (currently translated into 38 languages), continue to help resource the Body of Christ to further train and equip Brother and Sister-workers in their faithful, prayerful pursuit of reaching precious people from all nations, with the glorious Gospel. To the glory of God!

Give thanks for the recent festival celebrating 100 years of Protestant missions in Cambodia. Held in the capital Phnom Penh at the end of January, the Cambodia Gospel Centennial Celebration included exhibitions, concerts, dances and children's activities. Pray for the conference vision statement - that Cambodia would become 'the aroma of Christ in Asia and around the world' would be fulfilled.

Western Cham in Cambodia: The Western Cham are found near Cambodia’s main cities. They had a flourishing empire, covering southern Vietnam until the 1400s. When their territory was invaded, the Cham fled to Cambodia. Cham villagers are very poor and follow a distorted form of Islam. Pray for those currently ministering among these people to make progress and see a spiritual breakthrough, as there has been limited fruit so far.

Bamar of Myanmar & Cambodia: The Burmese people are largely buddhist and have had a turbulent history. Thousands have fled to other countries, such as Cambodia, due to the instability of present-day Myanmar. The people need peace and stability. Pray that Burmese people will encounter Jesus and find that his peace and security speak into their hearts and lives.
