Cambodia
October 30 - November 14, 2009
Ages: Teenagers and Adults
In the late 1970s one of the worst genocides in history took place in Southeast Asia. Prime Minister and dictator Pol Pot was leader of the Khmer Rouge (Cambodia's Communist party) and forced hundreds of thousands of people into labor camps. An estimated 1.5 million people lost their lives from malnutrition, disease and torture.
Years later, this country is still rebuilding from its tragic past. But many would agree that a new day has arrived in Cambodia. There is optimism about opportunities for the future. The many youth bring vitality and ideas to the Khmer culture. And many people are turning to the hope found in Jesus Christ. New churches are being started everywhere!
