Cambodia is struggling to regain some political and economic stability after almost total destruction by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970's. Most of a generation was wiped out in the killing fields, but a new generation is seeking God. Some have already found peace and security in Jesus Christ and want to study the Bible. Others are searching, desiring for someone to show them the way to a new life in  Jesus Christ.

Vision Fulfilled
On May 6, 2002, the leadership of the Light for Living Bible Training Center was placed in the hands of Cambodians. This staff touches the lives of the people of Kampong Chhnang through the Bible Training Center which provides a safe place for people of all ages to read Christian books, watch Bible videos, and study English. They are taught Christian songs, and games are an added attraction. The Center is located in Kampong Chhnang, which is about two hours north of Phenom Penh.

Lending Library
In addition to Bible teaching and English classes the center has a lending library with a supply of books, videos, etc. which the local people may read and view.

Light for Living Bible Training Center
Converts are discipled and national workers are being trained to reach and teach their own people.  It is the goal of the Bible Training Center  to help Cambodians to become mature Christians, able to share their faith with their fellow countrymen. The translation of Bible studies into Khmer, the national language, is being undertaken. The fact that these  people were born into a non-Christian culture without any concept of our Triune God, the atoning sacrificial death of Jesus Christ or salvation by grace alone, requires s special kind of Bible study. Our goal is not to change the culture, but to present the Good News that Jesus died as a sacrifice for sin. We seek to present the Gospel in a Cambodian basket, carried by Cambodians in whom the character of Jesus and love of God is manifested.

We believe that it is very important that local churches be established, led by Cambodian pastors. Our ministry interest in the Bible training center is to support, encourage and teach. We believe the foreign missionaries’ place is in the background, teaching and training. There is no other Bible training center in the area. Therefore, we see the Light for Living Bible Training Center as vital to the establishment of Bible based churches in the area.
