In 2013, 9 year old Sokny Tauk sat patiently in her home in Cambodia with her siblings sharing a half bag of rice, which is all the food they had at the time. When Mike Meierhoffer visited their town on a medical mission trip, Tauk and her siblings were seen eating the scraps of food off of the missionary's table. Tauk's parents had passed away, and the primary source of income was from her 16 year old sister. Meierhoffer was moved with compassion, and partnered with a native, Sokhum Hun, to start the Cambodia Bible School on the campus known as The Jesus Village. The Jesus Village also includes an orphanage, well-digging ministry and medical services and is planned to serve 240 orphans in 12 houses. One house has been built so far. Tauk and her siblings were adopted and became the first members of the orphanage. Tauk, now 22 years old, works with the ministry and hopes to become a teacher in The Bible School soon. Praise God for the vision and desire of Meierhoffer and Hun to help these children in the name of Jesus.
