Origins
Rev. Sok Em and his wife, Savy, became Christians while they were living in a refugee camp in Thailand. Sok received Bible training while there. In the late 1980s, the Ems and their three children immigrated to Canada. In 1992 Rev. Em, an ordained member of the Canadian General Conference and supported by the Canadian Free Methodist Church, returned to his village of Prek Thei to begin the work in Cambodia. The Cambodian Free Methodist Church officially began in 1994 as a project of the Asia Pacific Free Methodist Missions Association (APFMMA), with the Hong Kong Free Methodist Church responsible for supervision. Present Ministries
Seven missionaries have been assigned to Cambodia by APFMMA, including missionaries from the Philippines and Hong Kong. The multicultural missionary team also includes those from Japan and North America. Teams from Free Methodist churches in Hong Kong, the Philippines and the U.S. have made many medical and evangelistic trips to Cambodia. Most current members have been converted from Buddhism. Thriving ministries include three International Child Care Ministries hostels, church planting through community health education/evangelism, and microeconomic projects to support pastors and provide income for church members.
