Cambodian Ministry
Cambodian Ministry strives to reach Cambodians with the gospel of Jesus Christ and minister to them both socially and spiritually.
Most Cambodians immigrating to the United States came from the working class—farmers, laborers, merchants, craftsmen, and small business owners. Some were soldiers from the last democratic government. The educated and the elite were nearly destroyed due to the persecution of the Communist Khmer Rouge during its reign of terror from 1975 to 1979. An estimated 2 million Cambodians died by starvation, torture, or execution during this time. Many escaped to refugee camps in Thailand where some accepted Jesus as their Lord God and Savior through world missionaries. Many of the generation that was born or raised in America are college-educated and hold positions of leadership and responsibility.
Since 1993, the church has intentionally sought to reach Cambodians in the Spartanburg area for Christ and 77 Cambodians have been baptized. Cambodian Ministry assists the Cambodian people with social and economic needs.
