CAMBODIA

Prayer Journey - Cambodia is rich in history and many people remain unaware of the spiritual darkness which affects reaching Cambodia with the gospel today. Spiritual attack is very prevalent among missionaries; at least three families have recently needed to leave the field. This team will visit historical sites in order to learn Cambodia's past and also travel to various ministries praying for missionaries and their work to participate in what God is doing today. You need to be adventurous and willing to live among the people as they do.

This team will visit Asian neighborhoods, explore various Buddhist temples, learn about various sects and their beliefs as well as dialogue with Buddhists about their faith. They will seek opportunities to share the gospel message with Buddhists right here in America and pray onsite with insight for those they meet. Led by one of OMF’s experts on Buddhism, this will be an excellent training experience for anyone thinking about serving among Buddhists in Asia or wanting to learn how to share their faith with Buddhists right here in the US.
