Hi! I’m Chhem Thida, 21 years old. I’m studying Bank and Finance at RULE University in PP, for 3rd year. I’m a Finance Coordinator at DOVE currently. I have been working with DOVE since 2017. I started by volunteering as a Program assistant in 2017 and then I also worked as an Admin Part-time staff. Well, I pretty love what I’m doing with DOVE. I have learnt a lots and have improved myself by working with DOVE. I was a formal student at YESIC of DOVE program since I was 17 and I could speak English better and knew how to use a computer at that time. After I graduated from high school in 2016, I started to volunteer with DOVE. I was so grateful with DOVE and my elders here that gave me a chance to know and serve God. I knew God by studied Onyx program and Devotion Meeting with my colleagues. This is how my life flows with DOVE. Lastly, I’m so pleased with my work currently and can’t wait to see the blessing from GOD in our Christianity life.
Ms. Bophal Yos has served DOVE as a facilitator of the 5 Love Languages, Personal Spiritual Formation, and Leaders Healing Timeline since 2014.
Bophal is married to Brian Maher, who is currently an advisor at DOVE. She has two adopted children and is from Svay Rieng province. A war orphan herself, she came to Phnom Penh in 1989, gave her life to Christ through the Olympic Church, and was discipled by Alli Blair of World Vision and Marrianne Stattin of World Concern. Bophal was trained by World Concern to train Sunday School and Children's club teachers all over the country.
In 2001, Bophal founded the Center for Peace for orphans and children at risk in Phnom Penh. This work will come to an end this year and Bophal will open a new chapter of her life on her farm in Ratankiri, growing pepper and serving the children in nearby villages.
Bophal began to be involved in the ministry of Dove in 1996, when DOVE was the EFC Youth Commission.
