There are more than 100 children meeting to pray every week in the 3 provinces. In addition we support the communities to run the provincial children's prayer fellowship events once a year in each province. The topics that the children raise up to pray for are their own needs, their families, their communities need, the leaders for the churches, the leaders for the nation and so on. This year we are working together to develop a curriculum for prayer for the children's teachers to use. We will print and distribute children's prayer testimony booklets to churches in 2010.

Background - Christianity in Cambodia Under the Khmer Rouge thousands of Christian's were murdered. Any form of religion was banned and Christianity was wiped out. However, since, the numbers of Christians are growing, thousands of churches and house churches are scattered around the country now from maybe half a dozen in 1990. The current government has allowed freedom to practice Christianity.

In 2010, Kone Kmeng has a goal to mobilize 30 churches in 3 provinces to give courage to the children to pray regularly in their own churches.

We have heard many testimonies from the children how God answered their prayers.

Total project cost for the current year* $3,600.0

Testimony

I live in the eastern part of Cambodia near the Vietnam border. My father used to drink a lot and beat up my mother, brothers, sisters and me when he got drunk. The pastor at the church always encouraged us and taught us how to pray to God. One day we had the children’s prayer fellowship. Many children from my province came together. We prayed against the violence in our families. Mostly I prayed that God would help my family, especially my father. A few months after later, my father stopped drinking wine. He doesn’t beat us anymore. I praise God because He has changed my father’s life.
