Concerts reach youth in Cambodia with the hope of the Gospel

Cambodia (TWR/MNN) ― Trans World Radio-Cambodia' s youth department hosted two outdoor concerts over the summer to promote the radio program, "It's Yours!" Attendance surpassed expectations, in spite of rain.

According to TWR, about 700 attended a concert in northern Cambodia, and as many as 1,000 joined the second one at a beach resort. The concerts were designed to reflect the format of an "It's Yours!" program, with interesting information, lighthearted commentary, and just enough about Jesus to whet the listeners' appetites to learn more.

The theme for the events was "True Happiness" and how to have real joy and peace. Active participation was encouraged with prizes such as a TWR t-shirt for those who answered questions like: "What can make you happy for a short time but in the end causes sadness?"

TWR staff performed skits, along with members of a visiting youth group from a Mississippi church. The youth also performed the Christian music for the concerts.

Because of these events, Cambodian churches and youth groups that previously had shown little interest in the ‘It's Yours!' program now are tuning in. Pray that hearts will respond to the hope of the Gospel.

Not that we are against Christians, but if their number keep growing, this would certainly out balance our good Cham people and potentially causing problem for the country in the future.

We don't need any assistant in religion, just finance. Get the fuck out of Khmers' soil, you morons (TWR).

To all Khmers,
After long suffering under Pol Pot regime and what has happening in Burma, there is no GOD and gosts who can came back to help us. Westerners' God is their money to buy us. Please united under one faith. It is easier to live, eat, and married to each other.

They are proselytizing and brainwashing Cambodian younger generation....

They have bad intention with Cambodian youth, but they can do this because of corrupted officials in Cambodia.
