Cambodian Church: Celebrating 100 Years 6 p.m. Christine’s message of Pressing into the Humbling explains how God works in and through our limitations and challenges, illustrated with stories from the Cambodian church.

“Evidence that we have lived out God’s calling is clear in the country of Cambodia, where 100 years ago in 1923, The Christian and Missionary Alliance had the privilege of being the first to bring the gospel to this land. 100 years into it, the national church and mission are working side by side. There are still unreached peoples to hear the gospel, and there are still leaders to be developed, but the mission is moving forward. Alliance family, look what we get to be part of. It’s rich, it’s real, and it’s continuing.” —John Stumbo, The Christian and Missionary Alliance President
