MERCY VILLAGE CAMBODIA
THE MINISTRY
August 2017, a huge fire ravaged a poor community near where I worked. 18 houses burned down, leaving 22 families homeless. I immediately felt compelled to visit them to help however I could. When I got there, I couldn’t help but weep. Seeing the suffering villagers broke my heart and reminded me of my childhood on the street. From that day on, I started coming regularly to teach God’s Word and help rebuild the villagers’ homes. It was then that Mercy Village was born.
Being now rooted in this community, our Ministry includes Education, Church, Music, Community Outreach, a Feeding Program, Discipleship Classes, Youth & Kids Ministry, and Housing.
OUR STORY
PASTOR RIN YAME & MERCY VILLAGE
My name is Rin Yame. I was born in 1980 to a poor, homeless Cambodian family as the youngest of five children. My father left us shortly after I was born, only one year after the end of the Khmer Rouge regime. We never had our own home, so we slept in our relatives’ front yard.
In 1988, at age eight, I lost my mother to depression. She suffered tremendously after losing my older sister, and her life was made even more unbearable by the constant mocking and cursing of our relatives. When she died, my three siblings and I were all separated. I lost all hope, and didn’t know what to do or where to go.
Pray.
