SCM Prayer letter July 2026

Social Concern Ministry

The Cambodian government has recently confirmed the implementation of a mandatory military service system for men; males aged 18 to 25 will be required to serve for 24 months, while participation for women remains voluntary. We pray that God preserves the peace and stability of Cambodian society and grants wisdom to the government and relevant authorities to ensure appropriate arrangements regarding the policy’s implementation and communication. We also pray that God guides the youth, granting them peace and direction as they navigate future planning and societal changes.
