Dr. Heng Lim lived through one of the most terrifying periods in Cambodian history. As a young boy caught in the crossfire of civil war and the cruel oppression of the Khmer Rouge Communist regime, Heng could have crumbled physically and emotionally. However, God had other plans. He survived the Khmer Rouge holocaust, and when presented with the opportunity to go to America, he did so. By embracing hope, working hard, and having unswerving faith in God, Dr. Lim became a successful dentist. Today he is a lay worker in a church in Owasso, OK, missions activist, and featured speaker for many conferences and churches. He and his wife Ra have two daughters, Mollina and Rebekah.
