KHMER ROUGE CHRISTIANS. South East Asia, Cambodia, Pailin. Several high ranking ex Khmer Rouge officials including the notorious former Khmer Rouge prison chief Kaing Khek Lev, also known as Duch, have sympathies towards Christianity and Evangelism. Some have changed religion or even become Evangelist priests and pasteurs. Ex-Khmer Rouge buddhists have something to fear: Buddhism offers neither redemption or forgiveness; the Karma and the next life are affected by the present one. On the other hand, Christianity and Evangelism allow one to be born again, it forgives our sins and offers redemption. This proposition is far more attractive to those who orchestrated, organised and carried out mass murder, and torture on a grand scale, against the Cambodian people, leaving 2 million dead in the 1970's. American priests are working in Khmer Rouge strongholds, bringing their Evanglist message, and are having some success. Approved rules for UN-backed Khmer Rouge genocide trials are now in place. The highest ranking Duch is in prison, in Phnom Penh, ready to be tried. What role the Evangelists will play in this scenario is yet to be seen.

EVANGELISM AMERICAN STYLE. South East Asia. Battambang, Cambodia. A 'University of Nations' project, registered in Cambodia as a project of the international Christian Evangelical 'Youth With a Mission' (YWAM), run by 'Group Leader' Garth Gustafson. It is a fanatical Evangelist youth movement who use english and sports teachings as a vehicle, together with religious indocrination, to turn buddhist youth and even monks, towards the Christian Bible. Garth preaches quasi-religeous sermons about 'hot and cold' climate types, of Western moral superiority and stronger work ethics, American right obsessions with family and personal responsibility, versus "primitive people who use smiles to hide their lies". They preach they "want to see your (Cambodian) nation change to be a good nation, to glorify God" but YWAM is a cult-like organisation with right wing and facism roots. The YWAMers force themselves upon AIDS patients in local hospitals, looking for the very sick and dying, offering neither drugs nor food, but instead, prayers about Christian redemption, offer everlasting life, which when rejected by buddhists, they are accused of being "bitter" for declining them.
