In a quiet village in Cambodia, 11-year-old Reaksa lived a reserved life. The oldest child in her family, she cared for her newborn sister while her mother worked at a factory and her father fixed motorcycles. At school, she rarely spoke and kept to herself — until a friend invited her to a Christmas celebration at the local church.

There, Reaksa received Manga Manger, a colorful book that told the story of Jesus. Page by page, her heart softened. On page 9, she saw the shepherds visit baby Jesus and realized He came for all, even the overlooked. On pages 18–19, the story of friends bringing a paralyzed man to Jesus taught her about love, friendship, and faith.

Reaksa began to change. She asked for prayer before a big school exam — and later returned to church to thank Jesus for helping her succeed as a top student.

Now she’s full of joy and always at church — praying, helping, and serving. She even volunteers to teach and care for younger kids every week.

Because of your faithful support, children like Reaksa are discovering Jesus — even in places where few know His name. Thank you for helping open hearts at just the right moment.
