The first long-term evangelical missionaries to Cambodia were Arthur and Esther Hammond, grandparents of Jim Hammond. As a result of Jim and Debbi's recent attendance at the 100th-anniversary celebration of the Gospel's arrival in Cambodia, God has brought into view a strategic opportunity for COTW to join in Kingdom impact in that country. 

Theological Education by Extension (TEE) has been used extensively in Cambodia, discipling new believers and training church leaders. Weekly training is accomplished in churches and homes with approximately 1,100 current students, multiplying gospel impact throughout Cambodia.

COTW is partnering with the TEE program to expand into new areas of Cambodia and strengthen the quality of the program materials. Currently, they are moving forward in translating, contextualizing, and field-testing the GOD of the WORD Bible study material that COTW is also using for its discipleship purposes. They anticipate completing two books per year, taking four years to complete all eight of these Bible study books.
