Pastor Eric Dooley was one of the pioneers of Cambodia Outreach. He came to evangelize to a small group of young Cambodians who had never heard the Gospel. Over time, they became young disciples of Christ and continued to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with their friends and family. As a result of growing believers, New Life Fellowship was birthed. The McCaul Family moved to Phnom Penh to work alongside Pastor Dooley in 1995.
In 1997 Pastor Eric moved his family to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and passed the baton to Pastor Chuck McCaul. Pastor Chuck served as the senior leader in Cambodia until 2006. In 2004 he began to transfer the leadership of New Life Fellowship Phnom Penh to his son Jesse, while he continued to oversee the rural Church plants. Under the leadership of Pastor Chuck, Pastor Jesse and the Cambodian leadership team, the Phnom Penh church has grown to become one of the largest Churches in Cambodia.
Over 60 provincial churches have been planted through the fruitful work of New Life Fellowship - with local leaders being trained and released into their God given callings, and numerous relief and development initiatives and ministries having been established.
Pastor Chuck and his family returned to the U.S. in 2006, with Pastor Jesse assuming full responsibility as the senior leader of New Life Fellowship of Churches, Cambodia.
