New Churches Planted in Cambodia Despite COVID-19

Spiritually oppressed people are being freed, and those with chronic illnesses—including a man lame from birth—receive healing in these new village churches.

"Pastor Dy, our national ministry partner, led 8 families (23 people in all) in the sinner's prayer, resulting in a new church being planted."

“Four new village churches were planted here recently, in spite of coronavirus restrictions,” reports Alliance international worker Syna Lao, who serves with her husband, Soeuth, in Cambodia. At this writing, “God has added three more to the list! For the past few weeks, we saw 3–5 people pray to receive Christ every week; in just 10 days, 50 people from all 17 Alliance village churches accepted Him as Savior!”

Every week during evening worship or discipleship classes, believers and non-believers have seen God at work. Demon possessed people were set free, and those with chronic illnesses were healed—including a young man severely lame from birth. One boy, aged nine, could barely see for most of his young life because of cloudy particles covering the lining of his eyes. But the church family prayed, and God restored his sight. He began to see blurred images at first, then gradually he could see everything clearly. More than 30 villagers testified to this miraculous healing.

As a result, more and more people have joined the already full classes, saying, “We cannot wait any longer for you to start a new class! We want to study God’s Word now.” In the evenings, every potential emerging church leader guides a small group through Bible studies and prayer meetings at every village church. These leaders diligently study with the Laos once or twice weekly, using their spiritual gifts to lead and teach others during these small group services.

Pray for all the new churches, believers, and leaders as they grow closer to God and bring more people into His Kingdom. “Intercede for us also as we work hard to keep up with the amazing things God is doing!” Syna adds.

Such stories are made possible by your faithful prayers for Alliance ministries and your generous gifts to the Great Commission Fund, which keep workers like Soeuth and Syna on the field. Thank you for partnering with them as they build Christ’s Church in Cambodia!
