Cambodian Missionaries to the Kuy

Meet Sambo and Chantrea. They are sent out by the denomination planted here in Cambodia by the Christian and Missionary Alliance missionaries.  Having left their home area they now live in the capital of Preah Vihear province and minister to the Kuy. They live in a dorm set up for Kuy girls so that they can get a high school education. Chentrea is the dorm mother. She is discipling these ten girls. She has already learned a good bit of one of the Kuy dialects in the process.

Sambo is leading a church plant in a Kuy village of Prame just outside of town. The church started when relatives from the village, who had come to Christ in Australia, asked for an evangelist to be sent to their family to share Christ. They recently had a baptism together with some other churches including 13 from the Prame fellowship. Sambo has been enlisting his own family members and local development groups to help the villagers improve their livelihood by using better compost and growing mushrooms. He has been encouraging the church members to write their own worship songs in Kuy language.

• Praise God for this missionary couple and their love for the Kuy people.
• Pray for wisdom for them in their ministries and as they parent their daughter.
• Pray that all ten of the girls in the dorm would come to faith in Jesus and that this will lead to churches in their home villages.
• They have recently learned that current funding for the dorm will stop at the end of the the year. Pray for a new sponsor for this ministry.
• Pray that the church in Prame will grow spiritually and will begin to reach out to Kuy in other villages, particularly those who speak the same dialect.
