Church Planting

New Life Fellowship Cambodia was planted by missionary Eric Dooley in 1994 and handed over to Pastor Chuck McCaul in 1997. Until 1999, when the war in Cambodia ended, no evangelistic activities were encouraged outside Phnom Penh. New Life in Phnom Penh initially grew through students and younger Cambodians. Many of the current leaders at the church are from this original movement. Pastor Jesse McCaul succeeded his father as Senior Pastor for the Phnom Penh church in 2004. NLF is now embarking on a very exciting journey with Ps Samdy Leang as Lead Pastor. Today, New Life is a thriving life-giving church in Phnom Penh with over 300 church plants throughout Cambodia, we have the vision to change the nation in our generation. The vision of New Life Fellowship Cambodia is to plant New Testament Churches that will have a positive influence on every sector of Cambodian society. Each church will be a model and resource center for planting churches with the same philosophy and foundation throughout Cambodia and in other nations. Our strategies:

Plant resource hub churches in provincial capitals.
Empower and support regional and local New Life churches and leaders.
Equip and train leaders, church planters, and pastors.
Hold regular outreaches and evangelism in the provinces.
Regular Field Visit.

In addition, New Life Fellowship of Churches’ focus will be a continual push to plant new churches among 300 existing churches and provide leadership, pastoral, and life-skills training through the School of Leaders. School of Leaders is a monthly intensive Bible training school for provincial and village pastors and leaders. The Phnom Penh-based leaders have been commissioned to equip and empower regional coordinators.

City Churches

Most village churches will be limited in the number of people they reach and the ministries they provide. Most village churches’ vision is limited to their located and is limited by the leadership level of their pastor. A City Church is larger by its nature and has the potential to have more influence. The strategy for the City Churches is to be a “hub” and resource for the village churches in its area. New Life Fellowship of Churches is a fellowship of more than 300 churches currently in Cambodia. We are a family of churches and relate to one another

Outreaches and Crusades

Crusades are a type of outreach in which we bring great New Life Fellowship evangelists and volunteers to conduct evangelistic events at different villages outside of the capital city, Phnom Penh. Crusades allow us to share the gospel with thousands of non-believing Cambodians in multiple locations across the country. About 10 million Cambodians are rural residents and seldom travel to the capital city. Therefore, traveling artists performing secular concerts in rural areas are very popular. They attract hundreds, if not thousands, of villagers who are excited to see famous Cambodians perform. Therefore, we have a great opportunity to conduct mass

School of Church Planters

School of Church Planters will help every pastor and leader to develop their capacity in managing the church to reach their top potential and also to increase the pastor and leader of their living standard by increasing their daily income. The project is going to provide them the training about church leadership, good relationship with God, and Church and family management. We are not just providing them the training; but we also provide them some financial resources to start or improve their business, too. Our schools are conducted every two months as part of a 2-year program. Project Goal: 1. To

School of Leaders

School of Leaders is a monthly Bible training school for provincial and village pastors and leaders. We gather together once a month to learn, discuss and apply a chosen subject. The subjects that we teach are in three different categories: Bible, Practical Christian Living and Leadership Skills. The format that we use is a combination of teaching, discussion and application. The goal of the School of Leaders is to help each leader to grow in their understanding of God and His ways and to give them the tools they need to lead their churches. A secondary goal is to establish

Provincial Children Teacher

We are committed to bringing needed resources and training to empower provincial children ministers so that they can be more creatively effective with their ministries in their own communities. Due to the increasing number of children in provincial churches in general, and their opening hearts to the gospel of Jesus, we wanted to take this great opportunity to help children ministers to be well equipped and design fun programs to reach out to children for the Kingdom of God. According to the research telling us that there are 85% of children accept salvation from age 4-14 years. So, we see

Provincial Church Worship Development

Worship is one of the ways that people can come close to God. We thank God that we have a great worship team in the Capital city. However, we want to bring over a worship training, and necessary resources such as musical instruments to many other youth leaders who are involved in worship ministry out in the provincial churches. We have noticed that several worship youth leaders still need to learn how they can enhance the worship environment in their church service so that their church members can be touched through the spirit of worship. Some equipment is old and
