Role Title
Church Planter | Mobilizer – Vietnamese in Cambodia
Fundraising Arrangement:
Fully-Funded
Location (City | Country):
Cambodia, outside of Phnom Penh
People Group:
Vietnamese in Cambodia
Duration of Term:
4-year renewable
Start Date:
Summer 2027
Salary Range: CAD $33,000-$38,000 annually
Additional provisions: shipping/outfitting grant, comprehensive extended health insurance, company pension plan, schooling for minor children, and (in many locations) housing subsidy and exclusive use of a vehicle.
Team Vision:
We exist to facilitate ministries that impact the whole person, encompassing proclamation, discipleship and leadership training principles as core functions striving for sustainability for the purpose of empowering the National Church to impact Cambodia through the power of the Gospel.
For the ministry to the Vietnamese:
There are an estimated 800,000-1,000,000 ethnic Vietnamese who live in Cambodia, of which less than 1 in 500 are evangelical (0.17%). While there is a developing church presence, it is mainly limited to the areas of Phnom Penh and a few other areas. The vision is to see access to the gospel in more areas where there is a Vietnamese presence by engaging Vietnamese nationals in Cambodia into this task. This requires us to walk alongside to train and support and at times walk ahead to lead the way into new ministry opportunities. We envision the need for new creative methodologies in these new areas and a willingness to try new things with the expectations that failures will happen, all for the sake of bringing Jesus to the unreached.
