Cambodia Phnom Penh Mission

  • Country information: Vietnam

    There were probably a few Latter-day Saints among the Americans who were sent to South Vietnam in the late 1950s as advisors in the conflict with North Vietnam. A small number of members, mostly U.S. military personnel and their families, began meeting in Saigon in 1962, and on 30 June of that year, President Robert S. Taylor of the Southern Far East Mission organized them into a group with Cecil L. Cavender as leader.

    During the late 1960s and early 1970s, several Latter-day Saints were in Cambodia on assignments with the U.S. military. Small groups of members held Church services in Phnom Penh, but there were no reports of any Cambodian conversions.
