Desperate to learn English, Khan decided to join the evangelistic English classes led by Filipino missionaries trained by the Asian Center for Missions, ACM. Here, the students were required to tell people about Jesus.   "My pastor said every student should preach the gospel to tell people, 'Jesus loves you, He died for you. If you don't understand, come to church.' If not you will not graduate. I just do that and after 5 months, finally,  I realize Jesus is the Savior.  Then I accepted the Lord. From that time I commit myself to serve God with my whole life," Khan said.   Today Pastor Khan pastors a church in his province in Kampong Thom. He has helped plant 200 churches across the 24 provinces of Cambodia and disciples pastors. On Sundays, he conducts feeding programs in 25 villages around Kampong Thom. Not all of these children belong to very poor families but according to Pastor Khon Khan, the most important thing is for these children to be fed not only nutritious food but the Word of God.   

After living the difficult life of an orphan, Pastor Khan also started a children's home to take care of poor children who have no where to go.

God has expanded the pastor's territory leading to his being named Undersecretary of Cult and Religion in Cambodia. This position allows Pastor Khan to protect Christian churches especially in remote villages where they are often persecuted. As a result, they can now freely spread the gospel.   Pastor Khan believes with God by his side, nothing can stop him from winning more tribes and villages for Jesus, a legacy that's been passed on to him by ACM.  

He said, "Without ACM, I might have been killed because I was a gangster or in the prison. But by the grace of God through the ACM, God called me out of the dark world. I used to be the boy who was hopeless and helpless, but now God is using me to bless the whole Cambodia."
