In the city of Siem Reap, Cambodia, lives Seyha (say-huh), a tour guide. He takes tourists to ancient and historic spots around the city, not on vans or buses but by motorbike. This unique adventure creates opportunities for Seyha to share his journey of faith in Christ.

“So God called me after I graduated. He said, You have to start a tour business to reach out to the tourists. So I started my business with four bicycles and seven dollars. Business is like a bridge; I can reach out to the business people here in Cambodia and witness, and I can reach out to people who are traveling the world. I can even witness to Christians so that they can know the real truth of what Christianity is all about, what Christians should be like.”

Through his business, Seyha has met people of different faiths and worldviews from all over the world.

“Business is just a way of reaching out to people who would never enter a church and who don’t even like Christians..”

Seyha’s love for motorbikes and people is contagious, His way of giving tours is well known by other tour guide services that regularly hire him. But he has specific requirements before accepting those requests:

“ So in my business, each of my clients knows that I'm an Adventist. They know that I don't party, I don't drink, and I live a different life. Most of the companies that I'm involved with, if they don't allow me to share God through my business, I won’t take the job. My first conviction is keeping the Sabbath! If they cannot let me keep the Sabbath, I won’t do the job even though it's $100 per day. Second, if they try to stop me from sharing my testimony and my experience with God to the people around me, I won’t take the job.”

Seyha runs his business with integrity and strong values His first rule is honesty. Here, his integrity stands out from other tour companies. whose main goal is to make more money by any means. One day, there was a man who booked Seyha’s tour service. This customer had used five other companies before. With those tour companies, the man had always paid $25 to rent a room in a certain guest house, but when he asked Seyha how much he needed to pay, Seyha said the price was only $13. The guest was so surprised! He said, “That’s impossible! I always pay $25 to stay here.” Seyha asked him to pay for the room himself at the front desk, and he found out that the price really was only $13.

“So when he went and paid $13, he came to me and said, Why are you different? What? I said. You are honest! I've been here with different guides from different companies and it’s always $25. So I said, Because I'm a believer in Christ. And then he said, I hate Christiansbut I like you!”

“So he was asking about the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and when he went home he sent me a message on Facebook. He said, I'm reading my Bible now. Even in the last message he sent to me, he said, I just want to let you know that in this world you are the only person who doesn't rip me off. Even my family members just want money from me.”

“So most of the people who have been on my tours are atheists and they don't believe in God. Some of them went back home and sent me a message, saying, Because of the experience I've had with you, I'm reading my Bible again.”

What a friend we have in Jesus. We can sing songs and share that Jesus is a true friend to us! And if you are a true friend to them, they open up everything to you, and when they open up everything to you, when they fully trust you, then they trust your God!

We can share God’s love through almost any job, hobby, or talent that God has entrusted to us. Seyha is a wonderful example of this in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

One thing that I learned from him is about honesty, and I want to be honest with all the people that come to my shop.

Please pray for Seyha and all the customers and tour companies he has shared Jesus with. May Seyha continue to share the love of Jesus through his tour company.. .
