Lighting the Way in Cambodia: One Leader’s Faithful Influence
In Cambodia, one leader is using every tool at his disposal–public service, digital media and church leadership–to quietly yet powerfully influence his community for Christ.
Sokhom* serves as a technical advisor, supporting municipalities in developing long-term waste management plans through an international development NGO. But beyond his professional role, his life is a reflection of purpose-driven leadership shaped by faith.
Everything changed for Sokhom six years ago, after attending the Haggai Leader Experience in Maui. Once hesitant to speak publicly about his faith, he returned home with a renewed vision, clear mission and deep confidence.
“HLE gave me the clarity and courage I needed,” he said. “I used to be a quiet Christian, but now I know my calling, and I pursue it boldly.”
That transformation led Sokhom to take on greater responsibility, including serving as president of Haggai Cambodia. During his term, he developed a three-year strategic plan, implemented a data management system and led eight national virtual seminars, helping to strengthen and scale the organization’s work across the country. Today, he continues to invest in emerging leaders as a member of the Haggai Cambodia leadership faculty.
Sokhom’s strategic mindset also supports his local church, where he serves on the church council. Though much of his work happens behind the scenes, his contributions include budget planning, bylaw development and long-term strategic documents that guide the church’s mission and growth.
Online, Sokhom has found a new way to extend his reach. Recognizing the influence of digital media, he launched a Facebook page where he shares Bible verses, worship music and motivational messages. At one point, his live sessions aired weekly and drew thousands of viewers.
“Many people message me privately after seeing my posts,” Sokhom said. “Some even want to accept Jesus, so I connect them with Christian friends in their local areas.”
Through social media, Sokhom continues to share encouragement and truth with those far beyond his immediate community, sparking spiritual curiosity and meaningful conversations with people across the country.
As Sokhom balances ministry, public service and church leadership, his heart remains focused on one mission: helping others know Jesus.
