| Welcome
to Cambodia Christian School
Cambodia
is a country recovering from a generation of warfare and violence
including almost four years of rule by the genocidal Khmer Rouge.
It abolished all education, healthcare and currency, and execution
of all educated people killing almost two million in total.
After 20
years, Khmer Rouge was finally extinguished but their legacy lives
on in broken families, the law of the gun and the landmines littering
on the remote areas.
Situation
Today: Diseases in the country rife with AIDS and tuberculosis.
Poor health care standards mean that even a simple treatable illness
can be fatal. There had been violence and instability but now
Combodia is at peace.
By God's grace, the number of Christians is increasing day by
day. Due to increase in number, the need for church building arises.
We also had to consider about the believers and especially the
younger generation about their future. They should be taken cared
of for a long term future. Majority of the Christians in Cambodia
are leading a life of poverty that hinders them in their day to
day living and spiritual growth. Most children could not attend
and enroll themselves as fulltime students in an educational institution.
Moreover, due to unavailability of church building, the believers
are scattered and started mingling together with other faith that
makes them weak in their spiritual life. No proper place of fellowship
with one another.
The
best solution of solving this problem is to set up Christian schools,
and provide professional training skills and education to the
less privileged. The government has set up a new education schedule
which forces students to pray (the Buddha prayer) after class,
so, the Christian school going students cannot follow these norms
because they no longer belong to Buddhist.
Presently, poverty prevents most parents to send their wards to
school. At present some churches in Cambodia have built primary
schools which enable the poor children and the orphans for full
time learning.
The main reason why we want children to go to Christian primary
school is that, it is the best period to make them known about
Christ. The school is one of the means we used in demonstrating
the goodness of God and in proclaiming the Gospel. The teaching
program of our church on our primary school will mainly focus
on two option; quality standard education and promoting Christian
faith.
Church
buildings also play a vital role in Christian community. A church
is one of the best places to have fellowship with one another.
To some extent, church building also attracts people. Many believers
scattered due to lack of specific place of worship.
Therefore,
we invite you to join hands with us in reaching out to unreached
and unbelievers of Cambodia.
We will appreciate whatever help you can extend to us in this
matter.
May
God bless you abundantly!
