When Pastor Meng looks back on his 23 years with A3, one word consistently rises to the surface: relationships. In a nation still marked by the scars of the Khmer Rouge era—when people were taught not to trust even their neighbors—relationships have become the lifeline of the church.

It’s a deep joy to introduce this special reflection from Ken, the founder of A3.
In a world that often feels torn and divided, there’s something truly remarkable about the arrival of new life—a reminder of hope, of promise, and of the gentle power of God’s grace.
