Greg & Molly Timmins

Career Missionaries from 2006-2011, serving the Great River People of Southeast Asia. Joining the Pnong Project in 2015.

We are Greg and Molly Timmins, and we and our children, Hannah and Caleb, are serving the Pnong people of Cambodia. Our missionary journey began in 2006 when our family served the Great River People of Southeast Asia until 2011. After this we served in New Zealand where Greg pastored two wonderful churches. As time went by, we missed our life in the foreign mission field and felt God’s call for us to take up the work again. So, in 2015, we rejoined AFM, this time with the Pnong Project.

The Pnong Project is a happening place! The school the Greenfields started is growing. Each year, we add another grade. Jonathan Nicholaides now serves as the principal, and the Greenfields are starting industries to support the financial needs of the project. They are also planning and overseeing the building projects. Our family has taken the role of Pnong village church planters. We are very excited to see what God is doing in the mountains of Cambodia! He is raising up leadership for the church plants. Our main task right now is to disciple these baby Christians who want to be missionaries to their own people. We have hired a man to head up literacy programs in several villages where we would like to plant churches in the future. We also have a student missionary who is teamed up with a young local worker. They live in a village where we have been working for the last couple of years. We are watching as God grows this into a church plant. More people are coming to our meetings. As families take steps to leave spirit worship and follow Jesus, all their extended family members and neighbors are watching. The Holy Spirit is moving, and we count it a great privilege to have a role in His master plan for the Pnong people. Praise the Lord!

Frontier Stories

Greetings

“Where are you going? What are you doing? How much was your scarf? Have you eaten rice yet?” These are the questions used as greetings in Cambodia. In language class, we learned a hello-type greeting, but it is used mostly by foreigners.

The Gift of Perseverance

Eagerly, I squinted through the dust trying to catch glimpses of familiar landmarks. Our driver propelled us along at dizzying speeds, blaring his horn constantly as our truck avoided cars, motorcycles, bicycles, oxcarts, kids, cows, goats, ducks and chickens by inches.

Opening Doors in Cambodia

A few days earlier, El, the chief of Levea Tome, our new village, had showed me the results from his blood test—positive for hepatitis B. He was having pain in his liver area. He couldn’t eat much, and his urine was red. Now he was wondering whether he would pull through.

Fee

“I bought some wood for the mosquito screens for the house,” I said proudly as our new Cham landlord, Fee, and I sat cross-legged on the floor of his father-in-law’s stilted wood house.

Our Village

“Please, come see my friend!” a Cham man pleaded with my husband. His friend had been hit by a car and was virtually paralyzed by a broken back. Day after day, he lay on his mat with large bedsores.
