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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reagan’s Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI 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\u2019s degree in International Affairs from Texas A&M University\u2019s Bush School of Government and Public Service. This eventually led me to join the Peace Corps in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s kingdom. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and excited to see how God will continue to work through this ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
