Church Behind the Wire: A Story of Faith in the Killing Fields
"You may have heard of the Killing Fields. You may even know it is  a five-year epoch that fits somewhere within the complex history of the Vietnam  War. You may not know that there are specific places in the Cambodian countryside  where the bones of our people still emerge from the ground after a heavy rain..."Barnabas  Mam's conversion to Christianity in the 1970s coincided with the rise of a notoriously  deadly regime. One of only 200 Christians to survive Pol Pot's genocidal campaign  known as the Killing Fields, Barnabas proceeded to become the foremost evangelist  and church planter in Cambodia.Church Behind the Wireis his story.Barnabas  Mamhas been the regional director in Asia for Ambassadors for Christ International  since 2007. He joined the Communist party as a teenager and was converted to Christ  while spying on a Christian evangelistic meeting in the early 1970s. He was later  arrested and sent to the Killing Fields where he spent four years in captivity.  After his release, Barnabas was forced to flee the country where he spent another  eight years in a refugee camp in Thailand. After returning home, Barnabas helped  rebuild the church in his native land. Over 400 churches have been planted in Cambodia  since.
