ST. LOUIS, Sep. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- It is estimated that over 2 million people lost their lives during a genocide in Cambodia that took place in the 70s. In an effort to bring dreams back to life, Joyce Meyer Ministries recently held Hope Cambodia: 30 Days of Hope from July 14 to August 12.

Over the course of the month, Joyce Meyer Ministries was able to touch the lives of over 160,000 people. The Million Leaders Mandate (a training program for leadership) was launched, and there were five different leadership seminars in five different regions of the country.

With the help of our friends and partners, fifteen Hope Centers have been established. These centers will house at-risk children and serve as churches, schools, food distribution and community centers. A hospital is being constructed and arrangements have been made for a mobile medical unit.

In addition, more than eighty medical professionals volunteered to provide basic health and dental services, which are often uncommon because of poverty. The medical professionals treated more than 9,000 patients.

Joyce Meyer Ministries also partnered with Prison Fellowship and was able to visit twenty-five prisons, which house over 11,000 prisoners, delivering care packages containing hygiene items and a book to them.

"Being a part of Hope Cambodia has been a life-changing experience for all of us. Whether it's been a visit to the Hope Center, which cares for the wholeness of local Cambodian children, or a trip to one of the many amazing medical centers, God is at work here, and it's a privilege to see it firsthand," said David Meyer, CEO World Missions.

Joyce Meyer Ministries is an international nonprofit organization that focuses on reaching people through media, with a potential audience of 3 billion people. In addition, Joyce Meyer Ministries provides millions of meals to people every year, supports and provides major medical care in remote areas, operates and fully supports over fifty orphanages worldwide, and provides other humanitarian aid and disaster relief around the world.
