Meet the Newest Member of the CCM Team

Reagan Ashley was in the middle of his two-year commitment with the Peace Corps in Cambodia when he met Sokhom and Mike during one of CCM’s major medical mission trips and Bible seminars. He traveled with the team and visited the CCM Center in Kampong Speu Province to learn more about the ministry and explore the possibility of joining the mission work after completing his Peace Corps service.

Reagan returned to Texas at the end of 2025, but just two months later, he came back to Cambodia to begin serving with CCM. Reagan now serves as the English teacher for the 80 Jesus Children orphans, as well as for the students at the Cambodia Bible School.

Reagan’s Story

“I grew up in a family of Church of Christ preachers and missionaries along the Mexican border. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by other cultures and have understood the importance of the global nature of the Church. Over time, that fascination developed into a passion for foreign policy and international development, leading me to earn a master’s degree in International Affairs from Texas A&M University’s Bush School of Government and Public Service. This eventually led me to join the Peace Corps in 2023.

While serving in the Peace Corps, I sought opportunities to connect with other believers in Cambodia and incorporate aspects of the Gospel into cultural lessons with my students whenever appropriate. Eventually, I met Brothers Sokhom and Mike and learned about Cambodia Christian Ministries. I was able to visit the ministry and see firsthand the incredible work God is doing there.

Now that CCM is establishing a private school, I believe I have a unique opportunity to use my talents and experience to help further God’s kingdom. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and excited to see how God will continue to work through this ministry.”

Growing in God’s Light: The Jesus Children of CCM

All 82 of our Jesus Children orphans at Cambodia Christian Ministries (CCM) love learning about Jesus through God’s Word. Many of them had never even heard the name of Jesus until coming to live with Sokhom and the team at CCM. Not only are they thriving in school subjects like math and science, but they are also growing in the light and knowledge of God’s Word.
 
One of their Bible teachers, SaKim, became a Christian in 2014. She loves the orphans with all her heart and is a tremendous blessing in their lives.
 
These children have endured very difficult circumstances before coming to CCM. They are deeply grateful for the loving care they now receive — care made possible through compassionate people around the world who help provide support for both their physical needs and their spiritual growth.

Severe Storm Update

“Never in my life have we had storms and flooding in the month of January like this.” – Sokhom 

 

The storm hit quickly and rushing waters ran through CCM Center. There was no loss of life at CCM, although a couple of the workers nearly drowned while trying to move cattle to higher ground. CCM’s main buildings were only slightly damaged and major cleanup will help put things back to normal. There are heavy losses in the fishponds as the levees broke in a few spots and fish headed down stream. Nearly all of the coconut trees survived. Fish, frogs, shrimp, coconut trees, etc. are all part of the plan to be more self-supporting in the future.

Please pray for the waters to recede and everything to return to normal so this great ministry can continue.

Little Children Praying to a Big God

Kampong Leng “Island” is one of the most precious places in Cambodia. CCM helps support two orphanages there. We have graduates of our Cambodia Bible School (CBS) ministering at both orphanages, but we also provide a nurse that takes care of the children’s physical needs. Our young preachers’ mission is what James would call true religion: reaching out to the community with the good news of Jesus Christ and caring for the orphans. Additionally, CCM doctors make several trips to Kampong Leng during the year to check on all the children.

The orphans will smile and laugh as they play with nothing more than a rock and a stick. And oh, how they love to sing songs about Jesus! They have such a pure faith. It’s free from the glamour, glitter and clutter of the world that blinds so many from seeing Jesus clearly.

In the photo above, the children are praying for their daily bread or, in the Cambodia case, RICE. They have so little, but they are big in gratitude. They are little children praying to a big God who loves and cares for all his children.

May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless Sokhom and the rest of the workers at CCM as they labor to bless physically and spiritually the orphans, widows, poor, sick, Buddhists, Muslims, and beyond.

A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND MILLION WORDS

Some of Sokhom’s assistants checked on our Cambodia Preaching School graduates and sent the pictures below.  This gives us a great visual image of the active ministry being done by our CBS graduates.

INDIANA SOKHOM

In 2015, CCM purchased 75 acres of land with the goal of the ministry becoming mostly self-sustaining. It was nothing but brush and trees. But over the past several years, we have cleared and developed the land. Sokhom and our students have dug fish and frog ponds, planted around 2,000 coconut trees, farmed rice, and even run cattle. We sell everything beyond what we eat with the goal of becoming truly Cambodian run and funded. We want the gospel to take off in the Cambodian culture, carried by Cambodian Christians!

But it’s a jungle out there! If you look closely, Indy… I mean Sokhom, has a snake and a rat on a pole! Some of the guys (excluding Sokhom) are going to eat well tonight. While he’s not big on snake and rat, Sokhom is having a blast serving the Lord with vigor, commitment, and great faithfulness!

While working the land will cover the fixed expenses at CCM Center, there will still be a need for help from faithful Christians around the world for medicine, orphans, and water wells. There are so many people we can reach through the generosity of others. Thanks for your support of this phenomenal work of the Lord!

Let the Little Children Come to Me

…for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these (Mark 10:14).

One of the beautiful blessings of sharing Jesus in the remote villages of Cambodia is witnessing the
spiritual hunger and thirst of the young people. We praise the Lord always for the many Buddhist and Muslim adults who turn to Jesus for salvation, but seeing young Cambodians come to Jesus is especially exciting looking ahead. The spiritual landscape of Cambodia in the future will more and more be transformed into the image of the Son of God. These Christian young people will soon be leaders in this country, and our efforts now will pay spiritual dividends in the kingdom of God at an increasing measure. God bless you for being a part of saving precious souls in Cambodia!

Cobra Soup Is Mm-Mm Good!

Campbell’s Cobra soup is mm-mm good!

Years ago, Sokhom and I reached out to an organization that helps with building projects in poor countries.  On the questionnaire they asked if there were any poisonous snakes in the area.  Sokhom had me write, “No poisonous snakes. We ate them all!”

That story rang true this week when one of our workers walked by the guesthouse where I stay when in Cambodia. He stepped over what he thought was a stick, but it turned out to be a five-foot long cobra!

Sokhom said they killed it with a rock, and then one of the students made some excellent cobra soup. According to them, it doesn’t taste like chicken but definitely tastes better than rat.

Sokhom has made a great sacrifice to serve the Lord as a missionary in his native country of Cambodia. As a result, God has blessed CCM in a monumental way. Together, we have physically helped over 200,000 poor people in villages since 2009. Greater yet, we are no longer able to keep track of the number of Buddhists and Muslims becoming Christians because of our CBS graduates along with several hundred house church leaders sharing Jesus in their respective villages.

Maybe cobra soup is not mm-mm good, but the mission work of Sokhom Hun and the CCM team is a sweet aroma and sacrifice to the Lord!
