SCM Prayer letter May 2025

Social Concern Ministry

1. There are two major festivals in Cambodia in April, one of which is the New Year, when Cambodians usually return home to reunite with their families. Thanks to God’s protection, our co-workers and those we serve all spent a happy Cambodian New Year with their families.

2. Another major festival in April is Easter. Thank God for allowing us to reflect deeply on the meaning of Easter with our ministers through various celebrations.
   

   

Pleroma Schools for Girls:

hank God! We have a group of patient and loving teachers who not only impart knowledge but also shape the healthy character and mind of our students.

Prayer Requests:

2. Two high school students dropped out this month: one in grade 9 and one in grade 11. May God watch over their lives and protect them so that they can continue to walk in the true way.

Thank God! The social worker team successfully rescued a girl and her mother from a violent situation and arranged for them to live in a dormitory of a friendly institution.

Prayer Requests:

3. Pray that our colleagues will have enough flexibility to handle serious and sensitive cases, especially court cases, which sometimes require facing powerful perpetrators.
