Pastor Charlie Phim
I was born and raised in Cambodia where I followed the religion of Buddhism. When I was in a refuge camp in Thailand, I began hearing about the Gospel. In 1981, I was able to come to the United States. I really became interested in God and was trained to pastor a Cambodian church in Utah. In 1984, I became the pastor of the Cambodian Christian Reformed Church. 2009 marks the 25th year of our church and I have been proud to be a part of bringing people to Christ. In my spare time, I enjoy fishing and ping-pong and I am waiting for a challenger to beat me.For more information on our Pastor, click here.
Elders Nguon Eam (President) I grew up in Cambodia and went to school until I was 17. For three years, I was an accountant; then the communists came. I was sponsored to come to the United States and I moved to Oregon. In 1983, some of my American friends introduced me to the Gospel. I became a Christian in 1984. In the mid-90s, I moved to Utah and found the CCRC. When we started with our project to Build-HIS-Church to West Valley, I was very excited and I felt I was being called to be a leader. I have been an elder for three years and I am excited about the direction this congregation is going. I enjoy watching sports, gardening, and fixing cars in my spare time. Bori Ly I moved from California to Utah when I was 11. That's when I started attending the CCRC. Growing up I was really into sports, especially basketball. It has been my dream to be a star in Professional Basketball and to get dunked on by Michael Jordan. Who hasn't dreamed that dream? Due to the lack of available help, I was recruited to start teaching Sunday School at the age of 13. It was tough because I didn't feel I really found Christ until I was 17. Since, I have accepted my new responsibilities as an Elder and a member of the building committee. I felt that if I didn't, I would be letting God down because he knew what I could do for the church as a "young generation" leader. That's what I want to see happen here soon; more young leaders to help this church grow and minister to those who have yet to hear the Word. In my spare time, I enjoy watching College Football and basketball, as well as cook and read. I also love watching Heroes and my favorite Hero is Hiro. Sath Prum I was born in Cambodia. In 1972, I became a Buddhist monk. When the communist Pol Pot took over in '75 and over the next four years, I was living under his rule. I had eight brothers and sisters; two of my brothers and one of my sisters were executed. My father and my brother-in-law were also killed. When the Vietnamese took over the country in '79, I was able to escape from Cambodia to a refugee camp in Thailand. In 1983, I came to the US. In 1987, I came to this church. Over the next few years, I was able to get baptized in the church, become one of the first elders of the church, and a vital part to the growth of our choir. I am really excited to hear the direction the congregation wants to take this church, and we the leaders will try to make that happen. Seng Rin I was born in Batambong, Cambodia, but didn't really grow up there because of the communistic Khmer Rouge regime. I lived wherever I could survive. When I finally was able to escape to the US, I was able to come to Utah and go to church. It wasn't until after one year in church when I started to believe and accept the Lord as my Savior. In the early 90s, I was accepted as an elder of the church. I have been honored to continue my 16th year as an elder. I would love to see this church grow by ministering in West Valley. I enjoy playing volleyball and basketball in my free time. Mary Lim (Sunday School Director) I am the eldest daughter of my father Charlie Phim, whom is our lead pastor. I have been a part of this church since it started and I have been the director of our Sunday school program since 2000. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2002, and thanks to God, overcame it. Through that trial I had a huge awakening to help the younger generation speak out and bring them closer to the Lord. My life has been centered around these children and I was confirmed by God that this is my calling and this is where I belong. I have a very loving husband and am the mother of one daughter and two very hyper boys. I enjoy spending time with everyone from church, but I also enjoy gardening, cooking, arts and crafts, but most of all, I love to eat! |
