Pleroma Schools for Girls
Thanksgiving:
1. We thank God for guiding the smooth commencement of the 2026–2027
academic year for both the primary and secondary schools, with the
secondary school’s student population growing to 200. We also thank God
for His protection and guidance during the primary school’s recent
events, including the orientation for Grade 1 parents, a child
protection initiative, and the celebration of World Teachers’ Day.
2. We thank God for the opportunity for the secondary school to
welcome 15 girls referred by a local anti-human trafficking
organization. Having experienced human trafficking, these girls now have
the chance to return to school and rebuild their lives. The school’s
pastoral care team arranged a special meeting with them; during this
first gathering, the girls shared their personal stories, and many of
them prayed for the very first time. We thank God for opening the door
to care for them and walk alongside them on their journey.
Primary school opening day : welcoming the start of a new academic
year
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray that God will help students and teachers adjust to the
new academic year, and keep them safe in all their comings and goings.
May He also grant wisdom and strength to the management team, teachers,
and staff. The secondary school is still seeking to hire a full-time
Khmer language teacher; please pray that God will provide the right
person for this role.
2. Please pray for the 15 girls mentioned above, that God will help
them adapt to campus life. May He grant them the courage and
perseverance to persist in their studies, even when facing academic or
adjustment challenges. We also ask for wisdom for the pastoral team and
teachers to discern the girls’ emotional and academic needs, so that
they may provide appropriate support. May the students learn to accept
and respect one another, fostering a sense of belonging on campus;
through ongoing care and companionship, may they gradually come to know
the love of God.
3. Please pray that the preparations and activities for the primary
school’s “Gospel Week” will proceed smoothly. May God prepare the
students’ hearts, giving them the opportunity to learn about Jesus and
understand the Gospel.
4. Our local partner, People Community Church, has confirmed that
they will begin holding Sunday worship services on the secondary school
campus starting in December. Many of the girls from the “Girls’ Home” (a
residential care facility), once stabilized following a period of
healing, will move into the church’s dormitory while continuing their
education at our primary or secondary school. Hosting worship services
on campus not only makes it easier for these girls to participate in
church life, but also allows them to more readily invite their
classmates to join in worship, creating further opportunities for
evangelism. May God use these Sunday services so that more girls may
hear the Gospel, come to know Jesus, receive care and pastoral guidance
within the church, and grow steadily in their faith.
Pleroma Home for Girls & Pleroma Women
Ministry
Thanksgiving:
1. Thank God for keeping our staff and their families, as well as the
girls at the “Girls’ Home,” safe throughout the Pchum Ben (Ancestors’
Day) holiday.
2. Thank God for His continued grace in leading and providing for the
Women’s Ministry, allowing our community education initiatives—focused
on human trafficking and migrant safety—to expand further, reach more
people, and enhance preventive awareness within the community.
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray that God will help the girls who have returned to the
shelter—following visits home—to readjust to life at the shelter and at
school. May He restore their physical health and strength, grant them
the courage to continue receiving our services, and enable them to learn
and grow within His grace. Please especially remember one girl who has
not yet returned; may God protect her and guide her safely back. Also,
please pray for a girl who has a court appearance in early November—may
God grant her the courage to speak about her experiences so that justice
may be served.
2. Please pray that God will provide for the daily needs of the women
we support—ensuring access to safe drinking water and electricity—and
that He will heal their emotional wounds, helping them to realize that
they are precious, deeply loved, and never forgotten in God’s eyes.
Please pray that He will provide these women with suitable educational
opportunities, vocational training, employment prospects, and safe
housing, helping them to regain hope and gradually build a life of
dignity and self-reliance.
3. Please pray that God will continue to watch over and guide the
construction and all preparatory work for the new “Girls’ Home” under
Project 20/20. May the construction progress smoothly, reach completion
on schedule, and may the workers remain safe. Please pray that God will
provide the necessary resources and grant the team wisdom and unity, so
that this new home may effectively care for and serve even more girls in
need.
The Women’s Ministry outreach and education team held a child
protection workshop at our Pleroma Primary School, teaching students how
to protect themselves
Pleroma Community Center (PCC)
Thanksgiving:
We thank God for overseeing the renovation work at the community
center, which is now nearing completion, providing a suitable
environment for the opening of the kindergarten.
Prayer Requests:
1. As the kindergarten is opened on November 2, please pray that the
children will adapt well to school life and enjoy their time there.
Please also pray for the teachers as they prepare for the new term—may
God grant them wisdom, love, and strength to care for every child.
2. Please pray that parents will actively participate in the
pre-opening “Parents’ Day.” May this foster good communication, mutual
trust, and cooperation between families and the school, as we work
together to support the children’s growth.
3. There are still some preparations to be finalized for the K1
classes. Please pray that everything proceeds smoothly, enabling the
team to complete all necessary tasks on schedule in time for the
children’s arrival.
