We are Greg and Molly Timmins, and we and our children, Hannah and Caleb, are serving the Pnong people of Cambodia. Our missionary journey began in 2006 when our family served the Great River People of Southeast Asia until 2011. After this we served in New Zealand where Greg pastored two wonderful churches. As time went by, we missed our life in the foreign mission field and felt God’s call for us to take up the work again. So, in 2015, we rejoined AFM, this time with the Pnong Project.
The Pnong Project is a happening place! The school the Greenfields started is growing. Each year, we add another grade. Jonathan Nicholaides now serves as the principal, and the Greenfields are starting industries to support the financial needs of the project. They are also planning and overseeing the building projects. Our family has taken the role of Pnong village church planters. We are very excited to see what God is doing in the mountains of Cambodia! He is raising up leadership for the church plants. Our main task right now is to disciple these baby Christians who want to be missionaries to their own people. We have hired a man to head up literacy programs in several villages where we would like to plant churches in the future. We also have a student missionary who is teamed up with a young local worker. They live in a village where we have been working for the last couple of years. We are watching as God grows this into a church plant. More people are coming to our meetings. As families take steps to leave spirit worship and follow Jesus, all their extended family members and neighbors are watching. The Holy Spirit is moving, and we count it a great privilege to have a role in His master plan for the Pnong people. Praise the Lord!

I couldn’t see a thing. In the pitch black, I cautiously shuffled my feet, feeling each step of the way. My hands groped outward, trying to feel for any obstacles.

“Lord, help us reach our goals by training time,” we prayed. For the past several months, we had been throwing ourselves into raising the necessary launching and monthly support for our project in Cambodia.
