Preah Vihear School of Applied Ministry (PVSAM)
PVSAM is a training program designed to equip emerging leaders in some of the province’s most unreached areas. The school is held in modules that coincide with the agricultural seasons.
Train and Disciple
The Objective
To train and disciple emerging Christian leaders in God’s Word and its applications in their lives. Our prayer is that, by God’s grace, these students will not only learn to handle Scripture accurately, but they will grow as servant leaders, be competent in ministry, sacrificially serving while making disciples who make disciples.
The Situation
Rapid church growth with little followup or spiritual support for new believers. Family pressure and persecution lead to discouragement. Limited educational ability.
The Strategy
PVSAM is a Bible training school with modules that coincide with the agricultural seasons. Provide spiritual support, a sense of community, and local follow-up.
The System
Basic Bible instruction using simple graphics and printed materials. Pictorial “journey” through the Bible. Mature and godly Cambodian facilitators provide instruction, opportunities for application, homework, and follow-up visits to students’ home villages.
The Students
Students are passionate about their walk with God and being part of building His Kingdom in their spheres of influence. By using fewer literate methods, ‘walk through the Bible’ style assessments, reproducible evangelism and discipleship tools, even non-readers can grow in their Bible knowledge and Christian leadership capacities.
How to Help
We have graduated two classes of students since we began PVSAM in 2018. We hope to launch the next class in the next year. Please join us in pray for the future students – new emerging Christian leaders who are passionate to make disciples who will make disciples.
