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 …  

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 …  

“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. Many attendees witnessed miracles, both physical and spiritual, illustrating the wonders of God’s grace. Hearts were opened, and the conference became a sacred space for rejuvenation and …  

He heart of our community are our pastors who have a fervent commitment to spreading the Gospel, they bring the light of salvation to those in need.  Our church is alive and continually doing outreach.   During their outreach, lives are not just touched; they are transformed. People find solace in salvation, experience healing, and witness the manifestation of God’s power. The dedication of our pastors extends beyond conventional boundaries, with some delivering individuals from the grip of evil spirits, guiding them to accept the Lord as their Savior. These powerful testimonies underscore the impactful work our pastors are undertaking. Through …  

Imagine not having access to the Bible in your native language. Thankfully, FCOP pastors are a part of bringing the Bible to thousands of people that have never seen the Bible in their own dialect. We could not be more proud of some of our FCOP pastors working in partnership with Wycliffe Bible translators to translate the Bible into the various tribal dialects throughout northern Cambodia. We believe in greater spiritual breakthroughs with the written Word in their own dialect, as we know the Bible is alive and active.  

It’s the last line written in the flap of a book by the angel Clarence in the classic movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Like George Bailey, I was discouraged. Government mandates insisting that we supply new uniforms to all our homes by the end of the year at a projected cost of $52,500 USD or face shutdown had me in despair. Mak Sou had a prophetic dream and told me to write to my old friends. It was a miracle! We were able to get the uniforms bought and though they may not be delivered before New Year, they are …  

Christmas celebrations actually began in late November and will continue throughout January. It’s the major holiday for the Cambodian Church and since December 25th is not an official recognized holiday, the season gets stretched, especially since ‘Orthodox Christmas’ isn’t celebrated until January 7th. FCOP church leaders like to attend their neighboring congregations services, therefore, they match their celebration dates so they don’t overlap. In this case, pictures are better than words!
