We believe in holistic ministry to spirit, soul and body being done through the church. Jesus told us to go and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God - this includes a salvation for spirit, soul and body. New Life Fellowship of Churches Cambodia has planted dozens of churches throughout the Cambodian countryside through pastors who have come to the Lord through our ministry and have been discipled and trained. Many of our churches are having significant influence on the villages. In fact, often the church is persecuted when it is first planted in a villagers house, but as the villagers see us minister to the children, the widows and the poor through education, rice banks, water wells, health clinics and more, they begin to turn their heart toward the church and stop the persecution, many of them coming to the Lord.
Adopt a Village is an opportunity for a church, business, family or individual to support the pastor and ministries of a village church. This would include:
Sponsorship ensures that children in our program have clothes, school supplies, and adequate food each month. In the third year of the program, the family of the child is also supported through business development to empower them to support themselves in the future. Through building relationships with the child and family, the staff have the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Staff in each province continue to develop relationship with the children and families in the C@R program. They monitor the child's well-being, ensure they are attending school, disciple and encourage the family to connect with the local church.
In the 9th and 12th grade, Cambodian students must take an important exam in order to continue their education. Outside of the classroom studying and tutoring is crucial during this time, but many students cannot afford to pay for a tutor. Due to this, we see many students drop out of school.
Some of the children that come to join in the fun, worship, teaching and learning at Joy Club live in some of the many slums and dump in Phnom Penh. They don't have reasonable shelter, much food or clothing, access to sanitary conditions or health care. Very few have the opportunity to attend even public school as their families cannot afford to send them. Please consider sponsoring Joy Club ministries to help give children in the city a brighter future.
Donation: $50/month (will cover some living expenses and send the child to a Christian school)

The dire need for more workers in the health field has led to an influx of those that wish to pursue medical school. Often students are limited by a lack of funds to cover medical school tuition. The fees are well t of reach for a Cambodian on their own, even with substantial family support. We ask for a six year commitment for medical student support.
The New Life school scholarship program is helping to provide the children of Phnom Penh an excellent start in life through providing high standards in education and morals. We believe the best way influence the future of Cambodia is to provide a quality education to the next generation and to develop deep and long lasting relationships with these children. By sharing the love of Christ with them, we have the opportunity to influence and impact a generation in a very mighty way.
In order to give the students the greatest opportunity to succeed, and in light of the fact that most parents of the students cannot afford full tuition, we seek to find support for the school and students. The school charges each child $18/month, but the actual cost is $48/month per child.
We ask that each supporter commit to a one, two, or three year period of $30 a month or $360 a year to subsidize the cost of running the school. Scholarship providers receive regular progress updates, including:
* Photos and letters from your child
* Updates twice a year on your child's academic progress (February and July)
Donation: $30/month (covers the balance of the school fees for a child)

Our pastors in more than 60 provincial churches have had their lives changed dramatically. They are dedicated to further evangelism and discipleship for those in their flock and local villages. From one church plant, further churches are planted as God anoints our leaders with power and passion. Many of the pastors sacrifice much to share the gospel and to further the kingdom of God in the kingdom of Cambodia. Many village churches are not able to support their pastor financially, so our pastors are in great need of support. Please partner with us in extending God's kingdom in this way.
Donation: $75/month (covers some of the pastors living expenses)

Though the number of students who finish high school is low, even lower is the number of students that enter university. Depending on the cost of tuition, sponsorship is between $450-$700/year. We ask for a three-year commitment. In addition to this scholarship, the student will be able to attend New Life Foundation for free where they can take English classes, receive office skills training, and learn leadership skills.
Volunteers from the church community travel to training in Phnom Penh provided by the CEH healthcare trainers. Topics such as basic hygiene, childhood diseases, vaccinations, worms, first aid, natal and postnatal care, and diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, dengue fever, and malaria are covered in the trainings. The sponsorship covers expenses for travel (to and from monthly training), cost of materials for training in villages, first aid consumables, and medicines.
