PRAYER for Unreached People Groups: Cham | Country: Cambodia | Population: 258,000 | Language: Western Cham | Main Religion: Islam | Evangelical: 0.01% For almost a millennium, the Cham ruled the Champa Kingdom—a fusion of Malayo-Polynesian and Indian cultures—in south-central Vietnam. In 1471, Champa was conquered by the Vietnamese, and most nobles and freemen escaped to Cambodia. The Cham thrived in Cambodia until the civil war began in 1969 and the Khmer Rouge began targeting the Western Cham for being Muslims. Hundreds of thousands died. Today, they often work as farmers, fishermen, boat builders, and shopkeepers, but most are extremely poor. Most Cham homes are simple, sparse, and have a feeling of impermanence. They often have enough food to eat but have very few possessions. Ask God to raise up and equip faithful Christians to reach the Cham. Praise Him for a Cham Bible. Pray that He would strengthen and grow the tiny Cham church. Pray for believers to share the Gospel and help meet their practical needs. (fb)

The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.’” #HeIsRisen #EternalLife #JesusLives #ResurrectionSunday #EmptyTomb #ReachBeyond (fb)
