Building the Church Beyond Borders

Healthy Local Churches Seeing Lives Transformed

New Life Fellowship Cambodia

New Life Fellowship in Cambodia exists to be a community of overflowing love, where people encounter the presence of God. 

Since its beginning in Phnom Penh in 1994, the church has grown across 17 provinces, establishing communities of believers and planting churches to bring lasting transformation.

Leadership development is a key focus. Currently, 55 leaders are being equipped through training programs across multiple locations, ensuring the growth of healthy, sustainable churches.

Another key part of the mission is reaching and equipping the next generation. Skills Training Centres are helping over 2,000 students develop language and computer skills while providing opportunities for them to hear about Jesus. In 2025, over 450 students accepted Jesus and many connected into church life for the first time, just like Kakada: 

Kakada is a young woman who has grown up in a difficult home that is impacted by poverty and her father’s alcoholism. She was very quiet and withdrawn when a friend brought her to study English at New Life Fellowship’s training centre. There, she encountered a community marked by love, hope, and joy. Not long after, Kakada decided to give her life to Jesus. Her life has completely changed. Today she is confident and joyful, part of the youth group, and serving in children’s ministry. 

Three new church plants in Chbar Mon, Stueng Sen, and Soung are thriving, offering Sunday services, youth and children’s outreaches, discipleship pathways, cell groups, community learning centres and a skills training centre—helping build strong expressions of the local church. 

Across Cambodia, people’s lives are being transformed as they encounter a healthy local church community, connect with Jesus, and are empowered to live out their faith.

Standing with the Persecuted Church

Open Doors

Open Doors’ local partners in Iraq are serving the Church as it continues to face pressure, with believers navigating discrimination, displacement, and ongoing instability.

Christians are a small minority, and many face daily challenges in living out their faith. Yet even in this environment, the Church is being strengthened. 

Believers are being equipped through discipleship, biblical training, and leadership development—helping build resilient communities that will endure in a complex and changing context. 

In 2025, 225 teachers received training, over 500 believers participated in discipleship programs, and nearly 2,500 Bible resources were developed for churches and educators. 

These efforts represent individual lives being strengthened. Nihad*, a young woman in her early 20s who participates in a discipleship school for young adults, shares: “When I spoke about my faith with others, people would laugh at me; it made me an introverted person. When I’m participating in these sessions, I’m getting strengthened and becoming a leader.”

The impact that will extend beyond individuals into families, churches and future generations. And in places where the Church is under pressure and threat, that investment matters more than ever.

Called to Stay

Bishop Chimon Daniel was just 16 years old when his family received a death threat. 

“We found a bullet wrapped in paper, dipped in blood,” he recalls. “It said we had 24 hours to leave or we would be killed.” That night, instead of celebrating his birthday, he packed what he could and fled with his family.

In the years that followed, many Christians left Iraq, including members of his own family. But Bishop Chimon chose to stay. “God called me to serve His people here,” he says.

Today, he leads and supports believers in a nation where following Jesus can come at great cost. As more families leave, the weight of that calling only grows heavier. “We are the salt and the light of this country,” he explains. “Whenever someone leaves, the light fades away.”

Still, he remains.

“The people I serve, I consider my family.”

In a place marked by uncertainty, his life is a testimony to faith that stays and a Church that continues to stand.
