Missions

Country of Focus: Cambodia

General: The Church of the Nazarene began work in Cambodia in 1992. It is a country in southeastern Asia, bordering the Gulf of Thailand. It lies between Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Cambodia is a challenging missions setting. Despite these challenges and lack of resources, God is transforming lives as the church makes disciples who make disciples. The Cambodia District was first organized by a local pastor who migrated to the United States; however, the first work was not very successful because of the social and political situation. The district was reorganized in 2010 with 13 churches.
