Bora Chheang:
Local Cambodian Partner
Bora Cheanng and his wife, Bunry, are devoted to serving the local church in Cambodia. Since 2012, Bora has faithfully served on the leadership team of their church and regularly preaches as a lay pastor and an elder of an international church, while Bunry invests through worship and sports ministry. In addition, Bora plays a key role with ACTION Cambodia, where he writes, translates, and edits biblical resources to strengthen the Cambodian church; work the Lord is already using in remarkable ways through their growing platform.
Bora’s life has been deeply shaped by the generosity of others. Once an orphan who was given the opportunity for education and support through faithful believers, he now carries a clear calling: to become a conduit of that same grace. Through supporting children, encouraging pastors, advancing biblical translation, and helping build the local church, Bora is committed to ensuring that what was given to him does not stop with him, but multiplies into the lives of many more.

Bora's Mission
My name is Bora Cheanng, and my story is one of God’s grace written through the generosity of others. I was not raised with many opportunities. As an orphan, my future was uncertain, but God, in His kindness, placed people in my life who chose to invest in me. Through a missionary family, I was given the opportunity to receive an education. Later, through continued support, I was able to travel to the United States and earn a degree.
These experiences shaped not only my life, but my calling. Because of what was given to me, I now desire to become a conduit of that same grace to others. Today, I am involved in several areas of ministry and leadership in Cambodia. I serve as the manager, lead translator, organizer, and presenter for a translation team working to make biblical and theological resources accessible in the Khmer language. I also serve as an elder in an international church, where we are praying and working toward planting a Khmer-speaking church to reach more people in our community.
At a personal level, I seek to live out the same generosity that changed my life. By God’s provision, I currently help support:
-
23 children in their education,
-
several local pastors
-
a widow in need.
-
work of translation and ministry development.
These are not large efforts by worldly standards, but they are deeply meaningful to me because I know firsthand how even small acts of faithfulness can change a life.
My heart is simple: to see the gospel take root deeply in Cambodia, to strengthen the local church, and to invest in the next generation. I am here today because others said “yes” to God’s call to give, to support, and to love. Now, by His grace, I want to do the same.
How We Partner
We come alongside Bora Cheanng as a local partner, not to replace the work God is already doing through him, but to strengthen and expand it. Bora’s life is a testimony of what happens when someone is given the opportunity to learn, grow, and be discipled and his desire is to see that same opportunity multiplied across a new generation in Cambodia.
Our role is to advocate for that vision and help build the support needed to sustain it. Through partnership, we work to raise financial resources that provide access to education for children who would otherwise go without it. These efforts help cover school expenses, create pathways for long-term learning, and open doors for discipleship through the local church.
At the same time, we support the broader ministry God has entrusted to Bora strengthening local pastors, contributing to biblical resource development, and investing in church-centered discipleship. We believe that education and the gospel go hand in hand, shaping not only individual lives but the future of families, communities, and the nation as a whole.
By working together, we are able to do more than either could alone. This partnership allows Bora to continue leading and ministering within his own context, while we help mobilize others to give, pray, and participate. Our shared hope is to see a generation raised up in Cambodia that is both educated and deeply rooted in Christ.
