In
1979, The Black Rock
Congregational Church of Fairfield,
Connecticut sponsored a Cambodian family from
a refugee camp in Thailand.
This act of love shown to the Cambodian
people would later flourish into a progressive
ministry for the Lord.
While
working with this adopted family, BRCC saw the
opportunity of reaching out to other Cambodian
families in the community.
With this commission on their hearts, BRCC
set out with a goal to reach these people for
Christ, by
getting in contact with the right people and
with dedicated prayers, BRCC took that big
step into their goal of giving the Cambodian
community the opportunity to be touched by the
works, and teachings of God.
Soon,
BRCC had a Sunday school with an attendance of
20 people, with hopes that many more come.
We
came to be known as the "Cambodian
Fellowship of BRCC". Countless years
was spent working hard, and God driven volunteers both in and outside
the Cambodian community made the Cambodian
Fellowship possible. Through these
individuals, both BRCC and the Cambodian
Fellowship saw the works of God. Under the
mediation of leaders and Senior Pastors of
BRCC, leaders were emerging and the future of
the Cambodian Fellowship of BRCC became
brighter.
Through
the glory of God's grace and provision, the
Cambodian Fellowship of BRCC continues.
Membership grew to 130+ individuals.
God has now blessed the Cambodian
Fellowship, now known as Asian Evangelical
Church (AEC), with our own Church Building;
operating as
an autonomous church.
