CCRC Leaders

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.

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.

Nhen Prum (Vice President)

Nhen was just like the rest of the bunch. He fled Cambodia to live a safe life here in America. Though for Nhen, he didn't get that safe life right away. He was living in California and he got involved in gangs. He did a lot in his life that he wasn't proud of. His mom really helped him through Christ and he listened. He became closer and closer to God everyday. He eventually moved out to Utah with his brother and started attending the CCRC. He became an elder a few years back and has had many great ideas to move this church forward. He loves playing Monopoly, Chess, and Ms Pac-Man in his spare time and he loves to barbecue!

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!
