About Me
I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, called by God to preach the Word and make disciples. My life is a testimony to the transforming power of Christ. Having once been a troubled youth lost in sin, God’s grace saved me from destruction and set me on a mission to proclaim His Gospel. Where I once ran hard for the enemy, I now run even harder for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The calling God has placed on my life is to strengthen the Church, train men and women for ministry, and expand His kingdom worldwide. Every experience in my journey has been a divine gift, and I seek to honor Him in all that I do.
Family & Ministry Together
My wife, Emily, and I celebrate 20 years of marriage in May 2025, and we are blessed with five children whom we are raising to serve the Lord’s mission. Ministry is not just my calling—it is our family’s way of life. Together, we work as a unit, committed to advancing the Gospel and discipling others.

Rithy & Kristie Reville Ty
​
Rithy, a local Cambodian, grew up in a poor, broken family where Jesus was not believed in. His family were buddhists, and all he knew was that Jesus was the "Western God". As an adolescent, he grew up with bitterness and turned towards the gang life in the village which included fights, gambling, smoking and drinking. It came to the point that he realized if he continued in this way, he would only have three choices: to run away, or be thrown in jail, or attacked like his friends were by other gangs. In this time of his life, he fell on his knees and cried out, "if there is a true God, please reveal yourself to me and give me a new start." Soon after, his life completely changed. He was met by love like he had never known and gave his life to Christ in September of 2009. After desiring a successful life, a moment came when the Lord revealed that HE had a plan for Rithy. He was going to send Rithy back to places that God had rescued him from. God revealed that ALL things were made BY God and FOR God (Colossians 1:16).Rithy has been working for us since September of 2018 and now serves as our Director of Cambodia along side his wife, Kristie.
Kristie grew up in the state of Georgia where church was just as much apart of life as eating was. She saw God as this person way far off who only judged and condemned her for not living up to His measures. Her family life was a bit broken due to drugs and alcohol addictions from her immediate family. A moment came in July of 2009 when God revealed that He is the God of love, not condemnation. He is close, not far away. She turned to Him and He changed her life from seeking identity in all the wrong places. When she was sixteen years old, the Lord spoke to her in a worship service revealing that He plans for her to be all things to all people for the sake of the Gospel. She knew He was telling her that He was going to send her out to the nations. Kristie has been serving in Cambodia since January 2017.
Rithy and Kristie met in October of 2017 when Rithy was her language school teacher, They eventually wed in January of 2020 and now are a family of three with the addition of their son, Rithy Zebedee Ty.
