CAMBODIA

International Bible Institute of Siem Reap

Siem Reap, Cambodia

DESCRIPTION

As an extension of the Bear Valley Bible Institute, and under the oversight of the Bear Valley church of Christ, in Denver, Colorado, the International Bible Institute of Siem Reap began in 2008. The school and church meet in the same building in Siem Reap, Cambodia, which is the third largest city in the country along the north edge of the Tonle Sap Lake. Siem Reap is known throughout the world for its majestic Angkor Wat Temples.The school has consistently had an average student body of 12 since its opening, a wonderful feat considering there are virtually no Christians to recruit from. Over the past 10 years we have planted multiple churches in the villages and have a growing number of Christians marrying Christians to help build a foundation from the ground floor up. The primary focus of this school is to introduce Cambodians to the Bible, create a relationship with Jesus and develop a Christian atmosphere in a country where 96% of the population is Buddhist. Many of the graduated men have become preachers even though they must work other jobs to sustain life for them and their families. The school uses Matthew 5: 14 as their signature passage “Ye are the light of the world”. This simple and profound statement reflects the church in Cambodia accurately.

Darat Run and Piseth Rin are the two Co-Directors.
