What began as a divine download in a hotel room has become a national awakening. Evangelist Dario Giustino, a CfaN Bootcamp graduate and member of the Evangelism Alliance, was on his way home from a campaign in Ethiopia when the Holy Spirit interrupted his plans and gave him a vision for Cambodia, a strategy for revival. That vision is now unfolding in real time with astonishing results.
Flocking for the Word
Within months, Dario launched a Gospel initiative in Cambodia under Great Harvest Ministries, in partnership with local churches and CfaN-trained evangelists. The impact has been staggering. 77 evangelists fanned out across the nation, preaching in previously unreached villages. In villages where Jesus’ Name had never been heard, people gathered by the hundreds. In one instance, a village of only 200 people saw over 750 salvations as people flocked from all around to a Gospel Campaign there.
New churches planted weekly
The Gospel was not only preached, it was demonstrated. Miracles broke out. Injuries from the genocide were healed. People wept as they encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time. And wherever the Gospel was preached, new churches were planted within days. In one case, a church building went up in just three days, completed an hour before the first Sunday service, where 160 new believers gathered.
Rapid growth in Cambodia
This movement has sparked rapid growth. In 2025 alone, the Christian population in Cambodia grew by over 37%. This initiative was responsible for 50% of all new conversions and church plantings in the whole of Cambodia.
Whole villages turning to Jesus
And it’s still growing, as the local evangelists continue to preach daily. Entire districts that had never heard the Gospel now have thriving fellowships. The first ever church in Kaoh Andeat, a region untouched by Christianity for 2000 years, was planted this year. Revival isn’t coming to Cambodia. It’s already here.
