FORT WORTH—Rindo Nong had no idea three decades ago God was leading him out of the killing fields of Cambodia so that years later, he could return, bringing the gospel to his homeland.

In fact, Nong didn’t even know God when his family fled to a refugee camp in Thailand to escape the Khmer Rouge in 1979.
“I grew up a Buddhist,” said Nong, now pastor of a Cambodian mission church in Fort Worth sponsored by Travis Avenue Baptist Church.
