Testimonials : The Khmer Gospel Project

Clients of Daughters of Cambodia

HS: Thank you for giving me this book. I am very happy to have it! I feel blessed! My daughter really likes this book. Every time they’re free, they read the stories in this book. When they read, they also discuss the stories, and I listen to them talking about Jesus.

SK: This book is very good (the pictures, bright colors, etc.). I read one story that really touched my heart and made me cry. It encouraged me a lot. It was the story of Joseph and how his brothers sold him, but he still loved them and forgave his brothers. This story taught me a lot and how I need to forgive my dad. I haven’t read them to my children yet because I want to know and understand all the stories first. Thank you for giving me this book!

ST: Thank you so much for giving me a book. When I received the book, I was very happy. I was planning to read the story for my children every night, but when I got back home, I placed the book on the TV and went to cook. I heard my 2 girls reading different stories about Noah, Moses, David, Leah, and Mary. My heart is so happy! I told them to read it every time they are free from school. Every evening, I see my 2 girls reading this book and my small son is with them listening to the story too. One girl near my house also always come to listen, as well.

CN: I am so happy to receive this book! I want to leave it with my son, but he cannot read yet at 6-years-old. I also cannot read because I never went to school as a child but, at night, I open this book to see the pictures. I love this book because I understand some stories when I see the pictures like Adam and Eve. My son currently doesn’t live with me; he lives with my mother-in-law. He will come back to live with me after I give birth to my baby girl. I will give this book to my son. I want to say thank you for blessing me with this book!”

Children's Group in Cambodia

The Jesus Storybook Bibles were amazing! The kids all loved them and spent most of the day looking at them, reading them, and sharing them. It was incredible to see. During their break they went home, but when they came back they all had their books. They wanted to protect them so they carried them back wrapped in their shirts or plastic bags. It was amazing.

Missionary in Battambang

“We had our children’s day event today and it was such a joy handing out such beautiful books. One girl came up to the table and looked through the Bible.

She was mesmerized by the illustrations of Jesus. She also saw a picture with a little girl with brown skin like hers and got so excited. We gave all 50 away easily and I only regretted not purchasing more. Thank you so much to your organization and your donors for making these incredible books accessible to our Cambodian friends and neighbors.

“Speaking of neighbors, we stopped to invite our old neighbor kids yesterday. They came and we sent them home with Bibles! So thrilled to be able to give them the gospel story in such beautiful form.”

Samuel Sou

“I’ve been involved with this project by helping edit the Jesus Storybook Bible. It is imperative for Cambodian children to learn the significance of the Bible and be compelled to read further. The Jesus Storybook Bible is not only for children, but for Cambodians of all ages who would like to learn more about Jesus Christ. As we are Christians, we should know the stories in the Bible, and guide others who have difficulty grasping concepts or who don’t understand. This book is easily read – with terms that are used by the general population, not difficult terms that could be misinterpreted. The illustrations are amazing, they are nicely drawn and colored – captivating the reader.”

Reverend Peter V. Im, Founder of Cambodian Children's Ministy

“The children’s Sunday School program at First Baptist Church, Portland, have been using this book in English for many years to bring children to Christ. As a founder of Cambodian Children’s Ministry (CCM), I am very grateful to the Lord that we now have this book in Khmer for us to help our Khmer children spiritually grow in the Lord. There are hundreds of children and youth in our Center participating in Bible studies weekly. This book will be a main resource of the educational materials for the Center of CCM.

“I am grateful for the vision of the Mission Committee of Emerald Bible Fellowship and their donors to make this book possible for Khmer Children for Christ. To God Be the Glory!”

Elizabeth Khem, Portland First Baptist Church

“I think this book will greatly help all adults and children who speak Cambodian. I think it is very exciting that this book focuses on Jesus from Genesis to Revelation, and it very easy to understand because of the pictures and the simplicity of the language. I don’t know at what age children will begin to be able to read it because I have been away from Cambodia for 34 years. Most importantly I believe this book will help Cambodian people very much for it easy for them to read and to reach their goal to understand that the major emphasis of the Bible is all about Jesus. It will help their belief in Jesus and their faith, hope, love in God, and to trust God completely in their life. Thank you for asking about my opinion. May God bless this book to reach all the people who need it so they can be saved. God bless every one.”
