Heartland Church in Windy Village
Name: Pastor Chun and Nye,
Heartland Community Church, Windy Village, Cambodia
Chun and his wife Nye first came to the attention of Heartland International as students at Bible College 2004. The following year they returned to Bible College again but with four of their six grown children. This family comes from Memot, a small town near the Vietnamese border. As farmers they grew cashews and food crops which they sold in the local market. Together they were all involved in the local church.
In the days of Pol Pot Chun fled his homeland and became a refugee in a camp in Thailand, where he met Nye. It was here that they first heard the Gospel and became Christians. After the war Chun and Nye chose to return to Memot and raise their family of six.
This couple has a strong faith which has been tested many a time. The hardest came in 2004 when their eldest son tragically drowned in the Mekong River. This same son, John had served as interpreter at the first Heartland Bible College run in Phnom Pehn during 2003.
Chun has a real evangelistic gifting over his life. He and his wife relate well with people and have a lot of God-given wisdom. When Heartland established a Church in Windy Village, 15 minutes drive outside Kampong Cham, Chun and Nye were asked to join the staff as evangelists.
Chun and Nye live simply in a small house with their children. They have the fire of God burning inside of them to see the people in this Buddhist village come to know Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life. Chun is happiest ministering the Word to those who attend the regular meetings held in the village or going house to house sharing his faith and assessing needs to be met by the Community Development Project.
