This young man, Ratanak, has a wonderful testimony. He came from a pour family and with no money to send him to school his parents sent him to live in a pagoda (a Buddhist temple). Since the age of 12 he grew up there and his job was to serve the monks who lived there as well. at the same time the monks would teach him how to read and write. Well since the spring of last year he started to go to the church and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. Soon after that he and his friend went to an AG youth camp (which was the first time it had been held in Cambodia). While he was at camp he was baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit and his life was completely changed and transformed. He began to get evolved in the music ministry at the church. All during this time he still lived in the pagoda, and received severe persecution from the monks there, (they could tell that he was changed too). Last December he was water baptized and the church offered him a job as a security guard so he was able to leave the pagoda and lived on the church grounds. Right now he is a cell group leader for the church and is fully committed to serving God. Through his life we see a good example of God’s grace and the power to transform a life for His glory.
