Praying for Nations: Cambodia

This week we will be praying for Cambodia. This country has endured much hardship during the years. More info:

-Population of 15 Million people in a land mass smaller than Oklahoma

-73.6% Literacy rate

-Average annual income is $823 ($2.25/day)
-1 out of every 3 people lives below the poverty line

-23 indigenous languages; 3 complete Bibles

-Only 1 out of every 191 people has internet access

-Buddhism is primary religion, claiming 12.5 Million adherents

-Nearly 2 million people were killed in the civil war/genocide from 1975-1979

-Sex trade victims could be as many as 100,000. Many of these are children.

-If you lived in Cambodia, you would...have a 7.6 times greater chance of dying in infancy, make 95.9% less money, and die 15.7 years sooner.
