The main focus of FCOP is to spread the Kingdom of God. This involves not only leading people to faith in Christ, which happens daily in Cambodia, but also performing essential works such as caring for the poor, orphans, and widows, teaching the word of Christ, water baptism, prayer, ministering healing to the sick, and deliverance to the captives. Weddings and funerals are also important, but these works are equally essential. The purpose of the Son of God’s manifestation was to destroy the devil’s works (1 John 3:8b). At FCOP, it is standard practice for every church service to include …  

We are continuing to care for over 1,300 orphans and staff and are currently working to integrate and consolidate orphan care services in 34 homes nationwide. This decision was made after operating on a $10,000 monthly deficit. Our savings were depleted. Having to streamline services and find the most efficient way to stay on a mission meant making very hard decisions. The pivot to consolidate down to 70 homes was made with heavy hearts and bathed in prayer.  After a detailed assessment and review the headquarters staff reached out to the FCOPI board for guidance and then met with the regional leadership to discuss how consolidation would move forward. As …

In the heart of Kompong Chnang Province, on Tumnub Island, a miraculous tale unfolded. Yon Sary, a 43yr old  woman was burdened by a severe illness leaving her swollen and desperate for help. She sold many of her possessions and even some of her land to pay for medical care. Physicians could not find a cure or cause of her condition. Exhausting her resources on medical treatments, she was left without hope. She was sent home to die. Her aunt went to the local temple to have water blessed by the monks and remembered the words of the local pastor …  

The FCOP Local Church continues to flourish and touch lives. Through virtual daily training sessions, we equip pastors who, in turn, establish discipleship groups in villages. August marked a significant step as small pastoral teams ventured into communities, responding to invitations from those touched by our active churches. These dedicated leaders not only share the teachings of Jesus but also extend love to communities grappling with animistic practices. Their efforts bring healing, both physical and spiritual, leading to baptisms and introductions to Christ. Pastor Sou’s journey to a remote village exemplifies the dedication of these apostolic leaders as they share …  

Shanon and Lida were able to minister to a young girl who had been shunned by her community due to a genetic skin condition. She had been mistreated, judged, and unseen by her community. This was a transformational moment for all to experience the love of Christ.  

It is essential to reach the next generation if we are to see Cambodia come to know Christ. Our children’s pastor, Lida, and our missionary, Shanon, know the importance of this and put together an outreach program to minister to children in a nearby community. One of the church members at the Chom Chao Church opened her home and invited children from her neighborhood to come. They played games, worshiped together, shared the Gospel message, and used Gospel bracelets to reinforce the message. One of the highlights was that the ministry team included young people from Chom Chao that have …
