Cambodia's Future Worship Leaders

With a few welcome exceptions such as "Cambodia for Christ”, Christian music performed in Cambodian churches are translated from imported Christian tunes. Most music written in Cambodia is secular. Cambodians love to sing and there are hundreds of karaoke bars in Phnom Penh alone. This may explain why FCOP puts so much emphasis on music training for our Cambodian churches. It connects the secular to the Divine in a painless seam. There is a reason for that and though the devil may think music is his, God planted the musical seed in every heart. The kids at FCOP’s National Training Center in Phnom Penh are being taught guitar, piano, and drums by Pa Pun who also serves as the chef for the center. He’s a busy man! FCOP believes in raising up generations of young people who are well trained, not only in things that are culturally significant, but also that increase in sharing the Gospel throughout Cambodia. They are future pastors and worship leaders who are learning how to use music to bring people into the presence of God.
