Good food leads to good health

First and foremost we want to thank our partners in ministry. We can’t do this without you! The price of rice in the Cambodian market is at an all-time high and your unwavering support continues to give hope to the hopeless. A special thanks to Feed My Starving Children, Reach Now International, Children Hunger Funds, and Convoy of Hope for providing shipments of Manna Packs. When we receive the containers filled with Manna Packs we know prayers have been answered. All the essential nutrients needed for these children to function and grow are right there in the Manna Pack.  These nutrient-rich meals …  

Medical Clinic

Showing our faith by what we do has become our motto. Nowhere is this better illustrated than by taking medical care to places where they have none. It’s easy to go where they have readily available medical care and just pass out reading glasses. But, to provide a full clinic with treatment, prayer, and referrals is not so easy. FCOP took a medical team from Norway and the US to the northern Ratanakiri province. The team was led by our very own Dr. Lina and FCOP board member Erik Jensen. 620 people were treated and referrals were given to regional …  

FCOP 25th Annual Conference

“The Fruitfulness” was the theme of our recent FCOP pastor and leadership conference held at the Chom Chao training center in Phnom Penh. The conference was attended by nearly three hundred leaders from all corners of Cambodia, and it was graced by esteemed guest speakers: Pastor David Norton, Mike, and his wife Nikki Baessler. During the conference, there was a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, echoing the transformative words of John 15:5.

FCOP Annual Conference

We are excited to share the uplifting news from last month’s FCOP pastor and leadership conference held at the Chom Chao training center in Phnom Penh.

The conference became a sacred space for a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, echoing the transformative words of Matthew 3:11b. Miracles unfolded, touching the lives of many attendees. Hearts were opened, and both physical and spiritual healings …  

GOOD FOOD, GOOD HEALTH

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Heartland Meals for their unwavering generosity in providing essential nutrition for our children and staff. In the face of prohibitive rice costs in the Cambodian market, your contributions have been a lifeline in meeting the nutritional needs of our beneficiaries. Your continued support enables us to receive vital containers of rice supplement meals, ensuring that every child and staff member has access to nourishing meals daily. The challenges of sustaining a balanced diet are immense, but your commitment makes a significant impact on the well-being of those in our care. These rice meals go …  

Upcoming Harvest

Our 50-hectare harvest is coming up in November, and we need your financial support and prayers to purchase fuel for our combines which will cost around $3000. Thank you for your generosity and love.  

Special Need

We are currently in need of additional funds to purchase rice for our 103 Church Homes throughout the nation. If you would be willing to set up a recurring gift to help purchase rice for orphans, children at risk, and widows, we would greatly appreciate your support.  

Cambodian Leadership in America

Our trip to America was to attend Foursquare’s Centennial Connection in Anaheim, CA. Mak Sou (Pastor Sou), Pow Naret, Pastor Som Art, Kong Rolina, Run Thany, Net Khemara, Heang Makara learned many things during our time.  We learned that the US Foursquare Church really respects their time schedule, are well organized, have good infrastructure, their technology is amazing, and we are speechless. We’ve experienced weather that is cold compared to what we are used to.  We’ve been reconnected with our church friends and welcome them back to Cambodia to partner with us.  All the speakers during the conference have been …  

It Was A Colorful Christmas!

Eight thousand gallons of paint delivered in mid November have provided for fresh colors on many of our church homes with enough to refurbish all of them over the next few months! Bob and Christal Hollandsworth and our Training Center Staff have been the “Master Mixers’ with nearly 500-5 gallon pails sent to the provinces. The colors gray, pink, brown, green and yellow are not the most exciting but, gray seems to be a hit. Trimmed with a bit of another contrasting color, these churches look quite good.  

Close Call!

 Paul wrote, “because for the work of Christ he came close to death…” (Philippians 2:30). The day before Christmas was not a quiet one for Pow Moi; a 16 year old tribal orphan boy from Olai-Lai. This is the site of a recent revival. This location is a far northern Church/Home in the FCOP system; up in the very peak of the country where Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia are joined. Pow Moi was clearing brush the day before (getting ready for a big Christmas celebration) when the machine he was using kicked back and cut through the tibia, tendon, and …  

Beautiful New facility!

On December 31st, Pa and Mak will be in Siem Reap dedicating a beautiful new 500 seat auditorium for the Siem Reap Church. Having outgrown the old building, (even after two extensions) the new auditorium is next door to the old building and will free the old auditorium up for youth activities. The new building is completely paid for with contributions from Cambodia!  

Water & Diesel 

Seven large diesel pumps were running night and day, consuming $1,000USD of fuel every day. We must build the reservoir, but until we do, we are dependent upon the rivers. Unfortunately, the Chinese dams are blocking water flow. What started as a wet spring turned into a dry summer and our rice was thirsty. We built three more large 16″ pumps. Rains around Cambodia were very spotty this year, with some localities experiencing flooding and others drought. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we were able to feed our rice! We have the fertilizer.
