7. PRAY FOR CAMBODIA The Marxist Khmer Rouge, headed by Pol Pot, took over Cambodia in 1975 after the Vietnam War and brutally suppressed all opposition. Over 1 million people died through executions and the resulting hardships of population displacement, as people were forced from towns into rural communes. The Vietnamese army invaded in 1978 and 20 years of civil war followed. A semblance of democracy was restored in 1998.

10. PRAY FOR CAMBODIA The church has grown significantly in the last 15 years, from a small remnant that survived the Khmer Rouge genocide. The church is now young and enthusiastic. Although written resources are scarce, there is a wealth of indigenous songs and hymns of worship. Such rapid growth presents challenges in the areas of discipleship and leadership. The quantity may be increasing, but quality and depth still seem to be lacking. Many of those who profess faith in Christ seem to fall away at the first sign of difficulty. Although the church in Cambodia is growing, the challenge of evangelising the unreached remains. Most of Cambodia’s cities, towns, and district centres now have a church. The rural areas however, where most of the people live, still have little Christian witness. There are significant Christian populations among a few of Cambodia’s tribal people such as the Jarai; but many of the other people groups have few or no believers.

11. PRAY FOR CAMBODIA Pray for lifelong commitment to Christ. Pray for a complete harvest among each of Cambodia’s ethnic groups. Pray that the reached tribes will send out workers to those that remain without the gospel. There are current attempts to unite under umbrella groups such as the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia. Pray for further strides towards unity. Pray for the Holy Spirit to direct mission efforts to use funds to extend the Kingdom of God rather than for denominational goals. Pray that the church in Cambodia will unite under the banner of Christ and his word and spread his Kingdom.
