Pray for Cambodia (Info from Operation Word, 7th ed.) Population 15.1 million: Christians 3.2%. Evangelical Christians 1.6%. Largest Religion Buddhist. Fastest Growing Religion Christian. • Spiritual darkness persists in Cambodia, from the many spirit shrines, the powerful grip of Buddhism that opposes Truth, and the widespread loss of morals. Only prayer will lift it. The enemy of souls makes people suffer under terrible abuses and oppressive poverty. The drug and sex trades hold power over many people. Criminals exploit the high number of unprotected children and young people. Pray for the light of the gospel to shine on individual lives and all social structures in Cambodia. Christians can make a difference in the areas of justice, rehabilitation, orphanages, healthcare, and development. Cambodia also needs outside help with projects in agriculture, fisheries, water management, and education. • Cambodian people need freedom and deliverance from past sin, hatred, suffering, and abuse. This comes through the blood of Jesus. The violent Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979) destroyed millions of its own people. Ask God to heal deep psychological wounds through the Holy Spirit and counselling ministry. Many of the former Khmer Rouge who took part in genocide now follow Jesus. Pray for them to live in the fullness of God’s forgiveness for past crimes. Christians can bring peace and reconciliation. Churches can teach children and young people how to live in a healthy family. • The Cambodian Church survived great trial and grew! Missionaries worked for 47 years before breakthrough began, then genocide came and destroyed most of the Church. 90% of Christians died or fled to Thai refugee camps. God reaped a great harvest among those in the camps, but only a few thousand believers survived inside Cambodia. But churches spread to all 19 provinces during the 1990s, and now 470,000 Christians worship God there! Churches need mature and well-trained leadership. Most educated people died in the Khmer Rouge slaughter. Pray for pastors to have wisdom, holiness, and power in the Spirit. • Mission Kampuchea 2021. The national Churches share this vision to see a church in every village and people group in Cambodia by 2021. Currently 11,000 villages need a church. Pray for the less-reached Buddhists, the 18 unevangelized tribal groups, the Muslim Cham people, and 6 Chinese language groups. Cambodian churches and Christians from abroad can partner to share Jesus with these people groups. Pray also for Chinese believers from abroad to come as apostles to the Chinese peoples in Cambodia.

    Let the power of Holy Spirit outshines the Bhuddist monks chants and the twirl of the wind results in more miracle healing on churches, let those who encountered the Lord Jesus in dreams and visions, specifically to the enlightened teeners who are going to be monks, Lord Jesus reveals Himself to them during their praying rituals, the sound of chimes in the wind ...the Hosts of Angels come into their prayers and whispher to their inner ears, the name YESUDA...the name Jesus in Hindi language, Amen...it is the seed of faith...and they seek this powerful voice when they encounter missionaries in their villages...their spiritual ears and spiritual understanding be fortified, in Jesus Name and instead serving in their temples, be converted and that zeal with divine knowledge and divine appointment of Favor be upon these young teeners in orange tunics, Amen....then they will serve, shall serve the Kampucheans Bhuddist to become enlightened with Yesuda's Living Power Amen
