Cambodia is a rebuilding country after war. Over ninety 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 disappeared, causing indelible pain for Cambodians. Alliance Global Serve (AGS) has been involved in various life reconstruction projects in both urban and rural areas of Cambodia, including establishing churches to care for communities and building schools to nurture children.

In recent years, despite Cambodia’s rapid economic development, more than forty percent of the population still lives in multidimensional poverty according to the United Nations. The issue of children dropping out of school is severe, with only one in five children completing junior high school. Through poverty alleviation and holistic community development, AGS is fulfilling the Great Commission by “sharing the Life-transforming Good News of Jesus Christ to All Peoples and Build up Christian Communities in All Nations.”
