Never Misses a Sunday Service Despite Persecution

Jim Joun is a 10-year-old boy who is in grade 4 in public school. He lives with his parents and two siblings in Opheasang village, Takeo province. His mother is a factory worker and his father is a scavenger. After hearing about the New Transformed Lives program at New Life Fellowship Opheasang, Joun and his two siblings have come to study in the complementary program every day.

He has been through challenges with his belief in Jesus, as his parents have told him not to join the church service besides the New Transformed Lives program, but he and his siblings never miss a Sunday service. Joun believes Jesus is a good God. He loves the Bible class the most and volunteers to memorize the Bible verses every Sunday service. His prayer requests are provision and protection for his family, wisdom for his studies, and freedom to come to church without any burden from his parents.
