My name is Pavithra, and I am 15 years old. Today, I want to share what the true and living God has done in my life. I was born into a family where we worshipped cow and stone idols. From childhood, I bowed before things that could not speak, hear, or respond. I followed those ways because that is all I knew. But inside my heart, I still felt empty. When I started attending the CCI programs, I heard about Jesus for the first time in a different way. I learned that He is not a

“I asked Jesus to come into my life and change me”. My name is Anura, and I am ten years old. Last summer, I went to a CCI camp that changed my life. Before the camp, I was disobedient and dishonest at home. I did not listen to my parents or grandparents, and I often told lies. I did not care much about God or prayer. At the camp, Pastor Esther spoke to me about Jesus with love. She told me that Jesus can forgive and give me a new life. One night, God touched my heart deeply.

Ratha serves as a counselor at Khnach Romeas Methodist Church. She has always had a deep love for children, but for a long time, she did not know how to begin a children’s ministry in her church or turn her compassion into action. Everything changed when she learned about the Counselor Follow-Up Training offered by New Hope Children’s Camps (NHCC), our CCI partners in Cambodia. Encouraged by one of the Methodist pastors, Ratha decided to join the training alongside a close f

I come from a Gypsy family where people consider us low caste and avoid mingling with us. My ancestors worshipped animals and nature, not knowing the true Creator, Jesus Christ. When I was 10 years old, a Christian pastor visited our colony and invited us to a Day Camp. Unlike others, he loved and cared for us. At the camp, I learned songs, games, and stories about Jesus. That day, a light entered my heart that no darkness could overcome. I realized that Jesus came not just f

From January 9 to 11 , children gathered in Caucaia, Ceará, for a special-themed camp that left a lasting impression on their hearts and minds. This year’s theme, “The Escape from the Cave,”  invited campers to journey into the post-flood era while exploring a powerful spiritual message: how to flee from sin and experience true freedom in God. The theme sparked deep curiosity among both children and adults, creating an environment where biblical teaching could take root in me

In the border province of Banteay Meanchey, near the Thai–Cambodian border, a powerful story of faith continues to unfold—one that reminds us that the Church is not a building, but the people of God. During the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, Chhai Ra and several families from her church were forced to flee their homes. They temporarily sought refuge at a church in Siem Reap Province, leaving behind everything familiar. When the conflict ended, Chhai Ra returned to Si

Children are powerful evangelists, and Thavy’s story is a beautiful example of how God works through young hearts to transform entire families. Through the weekly follow-up program at New Hope in Christ Church, Thavy was invited by his friends and counselors to join the program. What began as a simple invitation soon became a life-changing journey. As he faithfully attended the weekly sessions, Thavy became convinced that Jesus is the true God, and he chose to give his life t

Pheak Sokha is a twelve-year-old girl who faithfully attends the weekly follow-up program at Eden Turl Sbov Church. From the very first time she joined, the program captured her heart. Everything felt new and exciting, and she quickly found joy in being part of a community that welcomed, valued, and loved her. Each week, Pheak Sokha looks forward to dancing, praising, playing games, and learning from the Bible. The program has become a place where she feels truly happy—a spac

I grew up in a small Gypsy colony on the edge of town — a place the world rarely noticed. Life was simple yet filled with silent pain; people saw us as outcasts, unworthy of belonging. Our families followed old traditions, worshipping idols and animals, hoping they would bring us peace. Deep down, I longed to know if there was something — someone — real beyond all this. But one summer, when I was just a little girl, a group of Christians came with Esther and her dad. They ran
