Killing Fields, Living Fields - An Unfinished Portrait of the Cambodian Church, the Church that Would Not Die - Thryft

Killing Fields, Living Fields - An Unfinished Portrait of the Cambodian Church, the Church that Would Not Die

$7.90 from $3.90 Save up to 56%

Synopsis: The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful. Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible decade of the 1970s, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation. Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand's crowded refugee camps, and scattered it across six continents. At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge. The Church is free and the time is now ripe for growth and development. In this edition, you discover some of the recent developments in the Cambodian story, but it still remains the unfinished portrait of the Cambodian Church. This book will strengthen you in your faith and make you ask "what can I do for God"? This book includes a timeline of the History of Cambodia from 300 BC right up to 2009.
