Grace Fields

Ministry to Widows

Over 100 widows (plus disabled individuals and extremely poor families) receive enough rice to sustain them.

Ministry to Widows

In most cases we are their sole source of food, as there is no social safety net for these women. Our churches, pastors and leaders provide more than food…they bring love, encouragement, joy and support in every way possible.

Jesus School

This village is home to over 250 elementary age children. The children work alongside their parents, beginning at age 3 or 4, scavenging the dump for plastic, cardboard, and tin to sell for recycling money.

Jesus School

Broken hearted by what they saw… the children… laboring, dirty, hungry, and with no opportunity to attend school or have security of meals or clean water, a couple who today serve as Lydia Project in country leaders, worked to construct a school and small compound beside the village...

A Devastating History

The Communist regime in Cambodia killed more than 2 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979. In all, 1/3 of the population was killed and only about 200 Christians were left in the country. There isn’t a family that doesn’t still remember the devastation of this time in their history.

This left a culture where…

  1. Families were torn apart leaving a broken family structure.
  2. There is a lack of leaders equipped for effective service.
  3. People are dealing with hopelessness that has led to alcoholism, drug abuse, and gambling.

We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ can heal the people of Cambodia and bring a new hope.

From the beginning, when the Corley’s first shared the story, we have watched in amazement at how God has allowed this ministry to grow without the backing of a big organization, but through the gifts of family’s like ours. We have been blessed to be involved in this story as it unfolds.
Dan & Connie AdamsGeorgia
I have been leading Our 3 and 4 year old’s, every Wednesday night for years, and we have taught them the importance of caring about others and having a generous heart. Each year we choose a new project to support the kids in Cambodia. The kiddos love to bring their dollars for “Bodia” as some have called it. We have done “bucks for bikes”, “cash for cakes”, “tiles across the miles” and this year “dollars for desks”. The children learn that they can love children on the other side of the world and that their little dollar can bring so much joy to those in need. The excitement these little guys have when they bring their money brings so much joy. I love that we get support Lydia Project in this way. It amazes me how God uses these little children to impact His Kingdom.

Kay Petrik’s love for the widows she met in the earliest days was so contagious. We have watched as this then upstart ministry has flourished. We are so happy to be an ongoing part of caring for the widows and the children.
Bruce & Jo OwenOregon
At first we were simply “helping our friends” with their new ministry. But year by year we have watched in amazement what God has done and is doing. He can take a little and turn it into so, so much. We are so happy to be a part of this story.
