Visit to Cambodia

Nathan teaching at our team’s translator training this past October
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to spend time in Cambodia with our team this past month—God is doing so much! We held our first translator training as our team has grown rapidly over the past few years. This new phase of training is helping all of us deepen our ability to faithfully translate biblical resources into Khmer. My days were full—meeting with team members, reconnecting with old friends, and planning for the future of the ministry.
As I reflected on the past twenty years of serving Cambodia, I was overwhelmed by God’s faithfulness—to my family, to me personally, and to this ministry. By God’s grace, we’ve distributed more than 100,000 books, seen millions of audiobook and eBook downloads, and tens of millions of views of gospel-centered video content. Tens of thousands of people have been impacted by the gospel and encouraged in their walk with Christ.
None of this would be possible without your faithful prayers and support. What a privilege it is to partner together in this gospel work in Cambodia! May the Lord continue to use these resources for his glory—so that many more might come to know him and grow in faith.
Because He Lives,
Nathan & Christiana
Ava, Paton and John

Update on the Tales that Tell the Truth Project:
Praise God! We’ve raised enough to translate and print three more books in the series! We’d love to publish more! If you feel led, please donate to see these wonderful children’s books places in the hands of Cambodian children.
We are raising funds to translate and publish the entire Tales That Tell the Truth series into Khmer—the heart language of millions of Cambodian children. These beautifully illustrated Bible storybooks communicate the good news of Jesus in a clear and engaging way.
It costs just $2 to produce one copy, and we aim to print 3,000 copies of each of the 10 remaining books. That’s $6,000 per book—a small cost to make a big impact in young lives.
Total remaining need: $60,000
We've already published the first book, and the second is nearly complete. With your help, we can bring the rest of this gospel-rich series to life in Khmer and place them into the hands of children across Cambodia.
Your gift helps share God’s truth—one book, one child, one heart at a time.
