Not just the recipent of missionaries, the Philippines is sending them too.
From one of our local papers:
After decades of civil war and resulting socio-cultural unrest, the nation once nicknamed “The Killing Fields” is slowly but steadily moving on toward recovery. As one of the later additions to the ASEAN, Cambodia shows promising progress in this region of the world. But unbeknownst to many Filipinos, some areas of this country have received significant impact from the sacrificial service of our Filipino missionaries coming from various denominations.
Last October-November, 2007, Ptr. Jose Estrebilla of Full Gospel Center Church, Fajardo St., Jaro, Iloilo City visited Cambodia along with his family. The Estrebillas served as missionaries in the southern province of Takeo from 1994 to 2005. They have seen how the Christian churches they helped start with Ptr. Warren Aragona (also an Ilonggo missionary) in Takeo keep on growing in the Lord and transforming communities to the glory of His Name. Twenty-three village churches now have their multi-purpose buildings that serve as a worship venue for the local body of believers and at the same time cater to the development needs of the community (e.g., livelihood and agriculture training venue, tutorial lessons, preschools, etc.) Thirty-six other villages have been started with groups of believers meeting in homes.
