Cambodia Ministry

Cambodia

The Kingdom of Cambodia (formerly known as Khmer), borders Thailand to the west and northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and southeast, and faces the Gulf of Thailand to the south. The capital is Phnom Penh, with a country population of approximately 17 million (2024).

 

Cambodia is a rebuilding country after the war. Over ninety-five percent of its population practices Buddhism, the state religion, creating a significant need for the gospel. Under the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, nearly all young people and intellectuals had vanished, causing indelible pain for Cambodians. Alliance Global Serve (AGS) has been involved in various life reconstruction projects for years in both urban and rural areas of Cambodia, including establishing churches to care for communities and building schools to nurture children.

From a war-torn land once covered in landmines to a place of learning and hope, God’s grace has been at work every step of the way. In 2007, AGS opened the Bahuy AGS Primary School in Pailin Province near the Thai border, which was filled with land mines. The founding of AGS Primary School in 2007 marked the beginning of early childhood education in the region. It currently has a total of 180 students. Along with the 150 junior high school students, following the completion of the junior high school building construction of Bright Pailin School (BPS) in 2022, and the completion of its Phase 2 expansion in September 2025.
AGS is currently supporting nearly 300 students. In addition, we offer English tutoring and computer classes and provide monthly financial assistance for students from kindergarten through university. By caring for their educational and financial needs, we can truly walk alongside Cambodian students and grow together with them.

The photos capture far more than buildings and classrooms — they tell stories of the Gospel proclaimed, lives transformed, and communities blessed. Each image bears witness to the love, dedication, and sacrificial service of churches and believers, and above all, to the grace of God who “Makes a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19)

First Fruit

Since we began ministering to university students in Phnom Penh in 2018, we are now tasting some encouraging results. Three graduates from the Pailin Bahuy AGS Primary School have returned to Pailin after their University graduation to serve at the Bright Pailin School, taking on roles in administration and education. On the church development side, the Pailin Bahuy Lighthouse Church has been established for over two years. In 2023, four new believers were baptized and joined the church, with an average attendance of forty people at various church activities.

Our Ministries Updates

Bright Pailin School

In 2022, we celebrated the opening of the Bright Pailin School’s junior high building, and God has blessed us with an overwhelming response—today, more than 150 students are learning and growing in this new space. Looking ahead, we anticipate that by 2026, every classroom will be filled to capacity. With the exciting launch of our high school and life-skills curriculum, the need for additional classrooms and facilities has become even more urgent.
The planned short-term ministry service and cycling fundraising activity for schools in Pailin were suspended under the influence of the 3-year pandemic. However, during the hard time, God’s grace never ceased. In January 2023, we organized a joint “Hong Kong & Canada” visiting team to attend the Bright Pailin School opening ceremony. Since then, the overseas short-term ministry service teams and the cycling fundraising activity have been re-launched in 2024. At the same time, we are also actively helping the development of various churches throughout the territory.
By God’s gracious provision and faithfulness—and through the generous partnership of friends like you—the construction of a new high school building began in 2023. We are thrilled to share that the project is now approaching completion! On November 26, 2025, we will dedicate this new building to the LORD, trusting it will serve generations of Junior and Senior High students, equipping them with both knowledge and life skills to impact their communities.

 

Thanks be to God! By His grace and guidance, Phase 2 has finally been completed.

 

Please continue to keep us in your prayers, especially for God’s provision in the financial support of our education ministry. Your partnership in prayer and giving enables us to nurture and equip the next generation through Christ-centered education.

 

Through our programme —“Walking with Cambodian Students”,  we invite you to join hands with us in supporting the education of children and youth — from kindergarten through secondary school — so they may grow academically, socially, and spiritually. Most importantly, through your partnership, we long to continue “Taking the forgotten Gospel to the forgotten places among the forgotten people.” — Dr. A. B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
