Ten Believers Baptised

Posted on 13 March 202513 March 2025 by admin

Recently, the CCC team joined members of the village church that they support and encourage for a trip to the beach. This was no ordinary church family outing, as they were making the journey for an important purpose: to baptise ten adults and young people who had professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Three members of one family were baptised: a husband, wife and son. Before going into the water, they agreed to the cutting off of the strings around their wrists that had signified their adherence to Buddhism. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! [2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV]

Members of the church that meets in the home of CCC’s Cambodia Country Director, Chanthoeun, are keen to share the gospel with the inhabitants of a village in Tbong Khmum Province. They are planning a mission trip there later in 2025, but meanwhile, they decided to send some gifts to encourage the children who gather together to worship and learn about the Lord Jesus Christ.

CCC made a contribution to pay for some food to be distributed to the children (including cakes!).

Football Keeps Youngsters Away from Drugs and Crime

Some years ago, while still a student, Pov Phearun began to be increasingly concerned about the destructive influence of drug pushers and criminal gangs on the young people of his village community to the south-east of Phnom Penh. Being an enthusiastic football player (and supporter of Manchester City), Phearun decided to set up a football team for the boys who lived in the village. Using his own money for equipment and training pitch hire, he built up the team steadily, training and motivating the players, enrolling the team in a local league and running evening classes in basic English and computer studies for the team members and their friends. As a keen Christian, Phearun shared his faith with the youngsters. Some trusted in Jesus as Lord and Saviour and found in Him a source of strength to resist the temptations of drugs and crime.

When Covid-19 restrictions on gatherings and travel came in, everything ground to a halt. Phearun suffered a personal tragedy and felt like giving up and moving to a different area. In spite of this, he waited and held on to the faithfulness of God until it was possible to start afresh in late 2021. Now Cambodia for Christ Sports Ministry has three football teams: one for under-17 boys, one for under-15 boys and one for girls.

A team led by CCC Country Director Huot Chanthoeun recently travelled to Kampot province to encourage a disabled widower and his children.

The team laid hands on and prayed for the family and presented them with a love gift from CCC (supplemented by gifts from team members). This has been used to purchase chickens with the aim of selling eggs to supplement the family’s income.

CCC is exploring ways of helping the family to become self-sufficient.
