- Where We Work -

Cambodia is a land of tragedy. Years of war have wounded her beyond comprehension...yet her compelling beauty draws me deep into her heart. Her beautiful people, her exotic smells, her kaleidoscopes of color invite me into the poem, anguished and amazed.

A family destroyed. A nation devastated. A wound inflicted so deep that it goes beyond the cracking of a skull or the smashing of a tiny life--it sinks deep into the soul. On the "killing fields" of Cambodia one-third of the population was tortured, starved and murdered through the evil regime of a man named Pol-Pot. There are no words to describe the scars on the tree where thousands of children were beaten to death. No words adequate to tell of the prison cells where men and women were tortured and killed...simply because they were educated. They are squatters on the edge of a city that doesn’t want them--thousands of Cambodians living in makeshift shacks scattered through the city and ringing the edges of Phnom Penh. Some of them have been there for 20 years or more.

It is here, among the makeshift shacks and the heaping trash that we seek to minister to the poorest of Cambodia's poor.

In Cambodia, Orphan Voice works closely with Meng Aun and Rady Hour to support and administrate The Jesus School. The children attending our school would otherwise be scavenging through the local garbage dump, their families unable to provide for their education. In a country where Christians make up no more than 2% of the population, children attending the Jesus School are able to hear Truth. Praise the Lord, most all of the students have accepted Christ as their savior!
