About

The Rev. Dr. J.P. and Aimee Cima, along with their children (Celeste, 18; Bella, 15; and Isaac, 8), have served in southeast Asia for more than 17 years. Currently based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, J.P. serves the Cambodia Lutheran Church (CLC), a growing collection of Lutheran congregations. He travels throughout Cambodia to equip and empower the leaders of the CLC with informal mentorship and formal theological education, that they might boldly announce and demonstrate the Gospel to the people of Cambodia.

In her role as regional coordinator of care and development, Aimee fosters holistic care for missionaries and their families in Asia, so that they can serve with longevity. The rest of J.P. and Aimee’s time is spent learning the Khmer language and whizzing around on motorbikes with their children.

J.P. was born and raised in Richmond, Va., and received his undergraduate degree in theology from Lenoir-Rhyne College in North Carolina. He received his Master of Divinity (2009) and Doctor of Philosophy (2025) from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Aimee (Crawford) was born in Tulsa, Okla., and raised in Richmond, Va. She has both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in dietetics from James Madison University in Virginia.

Please pray for J.P. and Aimee, who are humbled to play a small part in the big mission that God is accomplishing. The scope of His mission is wonderfully global even as its force is as local as an individual person’s heart. Jesus came for all of us, and He came for each of us ... even you.

J.P. and Aimee Cima
