Prayer Requests for Cambodia

As I researched the current problems and conditions in Cambodia, I felt a strong desire to take immediate action in the form of prayer. I know that God hears our prayers and that the Holy Spirit guides our words and thoughts, and interecedes on our behalf. I also know that God answers prayers that are in accordance with His will, and therefore I pray that these requests are in alignment with His will. Please join me in praying for the following issues:

1. Pray for protection and safety for the Children and Orphans in Cambodia.
It is estimated that there are roughly 5.1 million children under the age of 15 in Cambodia at this time. Due to the large number of orphans and impoverished families in cambodia, it is estimated that a full 38% of the country's population will enter in their adulthood as unskilled and undereducated laborers. This is disheartening.
This prayer is a bit presumptuous though because these children and orphans must first avoid the dangers of forced child prostitution, domestic violence, dangerous child labor practices, and child trafficking. All of which are running rampant in Cambodia.

2. Pray for a solution to the AIDS/HIV epidemic in Cambodia.
The number of AIDS and HIV related deaths in Cambodia is continuing to rise year after year. Lack of foresight in the country's Government has limited the use of and availability to AIDS and HIV treatments, and the future does not bring much hope for change. The rise in AIDS and HIV in Cambodia is a large contributor to the huge number of orphans. Education about the dangers and spread of such diseases is a necessity if this cycle is to be broken.

3. Pray for the life-changing spread of the gospel and growth of the Church in Cambodia. Christianity (more specifically Roman Catholicism) makes up only 1% of the various religions in Cambodia. Theravada Buddhism is the primary religion in Cambodia, and the government has gone to great efforts to tighten control over the Church and to reduce the spread of the gospel. Satan has a strong foothold on Cambodia, and I pray that the Body of Christ will grow stronger and the message of Christ will spread like wildfire across that whole nation.
