I was hopeless and had no future. I had no one believe in me. But Jesus and his church were there for me!

This is "Why" we do "What" we do!
From A Gang Leader to a Godly Leader___
BunnaVuth, called Vuth, was a gang leader when he was in high school. He was a son who didn’t show much respect to his parents and to anybody nor fearful of anything, but instead he looked threatening. Vuth was involved in robbery, drug, heavy drinking, gambling, prostitutes, and many other similar things. His mother, Phansy, didn’t have so much hope that her son would ever be changed, adding to that she was afraid that Vuth would lead her other kids to do the same things. As mother, she did not lead a peaceful life but lived with fear and embarrassments. She made wishes before bedtime and dawn that if anyone or any God who could change my son, i would do anything for that person or God.
In 2005, it happened that he was taking care of his sister at a hospital sharing the same room as a friend of David’s (David was a teacher of English and Computer from church). So David got to meet Vuth and sharing with Vuth about his life, about the hope, about Jesus, about how he could study English and Computer at our church free of charge. Plus how he could stay at the dormitory. Vuth was interested and decided to give it a try.
A few weeks after attending English, computer classes and attending church service at the weekends. God reminded him about what he did in the past and he regret about all he did to others and especially to his parents. Vuth knelt down and asked God for forgiveness and he opened his heart to receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior in that service on the Mother’s Day. Vuth became a new person on the inside and outside within a few weeks’ time.
Since that day Vuth has become a great loving man in our church. Vuth believes in people and is very passionate in helping and counseling those who are struggling the same kind of life.
Vuth is now married to a wonderful young lady, Neth, with two daughters. Vuth is in his 3rd year of university and works for one of the biggest Christian Organizations in Cambodia, World Vision. Vuth currently serves at our church as a lay leader. He also leads a couple care groups, oversees and mentors 50 university students who live in our dormitories.
As the result;
His parents become followers of Jesus. His mom is a prayer-warrior (she prays for the church and leaders everyday). His great aunt, who works at the ministry of education, becomes a faithful believer and a giver. All of his siblings become Christians. His sister is one of worship leaders (she is married to David with one daughter), one of his brothers is one of best drummers and care group leaders in our church. And 7 of his cousins also become Christians and serve God in our church actively.
Praise God and All Glory be to Him!
