Mission Cambodia

Mission Cambodia is a long-term discipleship journey - from a child hearing the gospel, to mentoring through high school, university training, and ultimately church and community leadership. It’s one mission, one pathway, raising local leaders to transform their communities. You can join the journey at any stage and be part of lasting gospel impact.

The Story.

PAP – Partners Against Poverty is a Perth-based not-for-profit founded by Max Williams and rooted in the community of Warnbro Community Church. It’s led by a team of WA professionals, pastors, and Cambodian leaders committed to long-term transformation through education, mentoring, and the gospel.

While the official name remains PAP, we’re currently using Mission Cambodia as a working title to help communicate the clear and connected vision of this ministry.

At its heart is a simple but life-changing pathway: a child hears the gospel, is mentored through high school, supported through university, and returns to their village as a leader—pastor, teacher, or professional—bringing hope and godly influence.

The Khmer Youth Development Centre is central to this journey: a place where over 1,000 students grow in faith, education, and leadership for the good of Cambodia.

Mission Cambodia brings together several ministries, all working toward a single goal: forming lifelong disciples and godly leaders.

The Cambodia Child Development Program, overseen by Rowena Estrebilla, equips local churches to disciple young children through structured, gospel-based learning and training for village teachers.

The Timothy Program, led by Pastor José, mentors rural pastors and church leaders—reviving struggling congregations and strengthening gospel ministry in hard-to-reach places.

At Narrow Gate House in Phnom Penh, university students are discipled in a Christ-centred community, preparing them to lead in church and society.

José and Rowena live on-site with students and staff, investing deeply in the lives of those they serve.

This is PAP – Partners Against Poverty, known as Mission Cambodia: one vision, one pathway, raising up Cambodian leaders who will shape churches, communities, and the future with the good news of Jesus.
