This document outlines the life story and ministry work of Naleng Real. She was born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia during wartime and faced great hardship during the Khmer Rouge regime, including the death of family members. After the country was liberated in 1979, she walked 550km to Kandal Province at age 4 while sick with measles. In 1980, her oldest sister found her and she lived with her family. She learned English from American missionaries and became a Christian. Since then, she has worked as a translator, spiritual coordinator, and volunteer in various ministry roles. Currently, she coordinates theological training programs and serves as a volunteer leader in her church.

IN 1979 COUNTRY LIBERATED My sister and I decided to travel back to Phnom Penh with one of my mothers neighbors family who we met in Battambang. My sister asked if we could live with their family but instead she ended up having to work for the family. 5
THREE MONTHS TO WALK 550KM (342 MILES) I was four years old and my sister was 11 years old. The walk from Battambang to Kandal Province, passing by Phnom Penh on the way. It was a 550km and it was a three-month nightmare journey. During this journey, I got measles and was very sick for three months. No vaccinations, no medicines and no hospitals for treatment. Because of this disease my torso got deformed and I was in a lot of pain, but I had to endure it. The family we stayed with in Kandal Province treated my 11 year old sister like a slave and worked her very hard so we could survive. 6
1980 OLDER SISTER FOUND US In 1980, my oldest sister, who fled to Pursat Province at the start of the Khmer Rouge war, found my sister and me. She took us both to live with her in Sihanoukville. We lived there with her and her four children and some relatives. At 11 years old I went to school for the first time. 7 This is a picture of my sister, and her husband. This is the sister who looked after me after my mother passed away in 1978.

They gave me an opportunity to help as an interpreter when a USA medical team came to Sihanoukville. SALVATION & BAPTISM This mission family invited me to church. In 1993 I gave my heart and dedicated my life to the Lord I joined eight other new Christians in the waters of Baptism. Later that year I moved to Phnom Penh and started working at Assemblies of God (AoG). I was translating English Bible Study material into Khmer (the Cambodian language). The AoG missionary I worked with Ms. Jean Johnson also mentored me in Worship and other ministry. 9 Rick Shell and his family missionaries working in Sihanoukville

ACTIVITIES 14
ACTIVITIES 15
With World Vision I often went into the provinces and villages to help children. This work, and how it was done, opened my eyes to the importance of helping in practical ways and not to just talk or preach to them. World Vision and these activities helped me to better understand issues like child protection, support programs & how to be responsible to people and the communities in which we serve. 16 WHAT IVE LEARNED
MY CHALLENGES & PRAYER REQUESTS These past few years have been a challenge to learn to listen to God so I can be obedient to His will and be guided by his plan for my life. Pray that I will have the physical strength needed for a strong and close spiritual walk with God and so I can have the discernment of His will and purpose for my life. Pray for Gods continued provision for my physical & financial needs while I am serving, living and trusting Him by faith. 17
