The Words of God

For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
– Matthew 25:35

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”
– Matthew 16:24

CCM’s Mission

The mission of Cambodian Children Ministry is to partner with the Cambodian family in the discipleship of their children, guiding their children to know, love, serve, share and worship God in a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ.

CCM’s Core Objectives

• To proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.
• To Prepare children to be involved in church ministries and their communities.
• To give them good health by providing two meals a day plus sports activities.
• To give them opportunities to do ministry in the Center, communities, and churches.
• To further their education by having Khmer and English classes, Bible studies and worship services.

The Need for a Cambodian Children Center

After the genocidal regime of Pol Pot, that killed 1.7 million, ended in 1979, God opened the door for us whom He spared to minister to His people in Kompong Chhnang Province in Cambodia. In Melum Commune, there are 450 children and youth who are struggling to stay in school because they are growing up in poor families and do not have enough financial, education, and emotional support.

During their weekly activity, they continually pray for their Activity Center to be built. They continue meeting under the cashew trees with joyful hearts, under the leadership of our youth pastor along with youth leaders. The property is 4.8 acres. The fence and the well have been completed and we are ready for the next project: building a more suitable kitchen.

The Cambodian Children’s Center is located in the Kingdom of Cambodia, about 19 km from Kompong Chhnang Province’s city center toward Posat and Battambong, along Highway 5 on the Right side of the highway. It’s about 200 meters off the highway.

CCM’s Partnerships

The Cambodian Children Ministry relies on partnerships with local churches and individuals like you. Under the leadership of Pastor Peter Im, the ministry partners with local Cambodian families in the discipleship of their children, guiding their children to know, love, serve, share and worship God in a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. Contributions from individuals and local churches have resulted in the construction of the ministry’s first Cambodian Children Center, which continues the amazing work of spreading the love and teachings of Christ.
