FCOP was very happy to welcome Jerry Stott and Paul Vernon (our Foursquare Church supervisors for this region) for a short visit in December. We were able to meet as a Cambodian board with them, show them around our Training Center and offices, and share our desires for the future with them. It was very encouraging to see their active support for the FCOP vision for this nation. Paul had great visits with Shanon Hladek and Bob and Christal Hollandsworth. Jerry and Pa Thom (me) got to share extensively on the topic of deliverance and demonic oppression. This is a …  

Mak Sou is a prophet and back in the mid-1980’s she prophesied that, “One day I will preach at Yoido Full Gospel Church” (at that time the largest church in the world pastored by Paul Yungi Cho).Dr. Ted Vail, Vice President of Global Operations of the Foursquare Church in America, invited Mak Sou to be a part of an interview panel at the World Missions Forum in conjunction with the World Pentecostal Conference held in Seoul, South Korea at Yoido Full Gospel Church. This was a time for Pentecostal leaders from various denominations to gather and discuss world missions and how we can bring ‘The Gospel to Everyone, …  

The doctors at the hospital sent the body home telling the family that the pastor was dead. Kong Seangny had pastored the church in Anlong Veng for more than twenty-two years. She was the founding pastor who saw the church birthed in signs, wonders, and miracles. Her own sons were raised up from death after eating poisonous frogs, but her church had stagnated. Her grave was dug, the casket was purchased, and FCOP’s General Supervisor Som Art was summoned to perform the funeral. Som Art left Phnom Penh with Dr. Lina and Ra Vy (from our office staff) and drove the 375 kilometers to …  

Have you ever wondered why revivals never last? The first generation is raised up in the power of God, praying in the Spirit, working miracles, paying a great price for their faith, and God blesses that community (Hebrews 10:32). The second generation comes along and may be faithful church goers but they lose their spiritual zeal and by the third generation the church is dying. God always has a remnant, but they need the power of the Holy Spirit. The son-in-law of pastor Siengny, Nakreing Say, had taken over preaching but he had not seen the miraculous. God brought his mother back …  

Bob and Christal Hollandsworth have served faithfully with FCOP for 15 years. They went back to the US in February 2020 and just returned this November. They never intended to stay away that long but got stuck in the Covid-19 lockdowns. They returned just in time for the first container we’ve imported from the US in over two years arrived. We were sent 8,250 gallons of good quality exterior paint. This is a gift easily worth $100,000 US dollars. We have an assortment of colors that run through yellow, blue, pink, gray, brown and green. Bob and Christal arrived in …  

We have received more rain in November than we did in either June, July or August, and those are supposed to be ‘Rainy Season’ months. November is traditionally the first ‘Dry Season’ month, but it has been wet. Unusual weather has been a pattern all over the world! FCOP lost most of our first crop to drought, then the replanting (second crop) was lost to excessive rains in September and October. In total FCOP harvested only about 20% of our crops. Finances have been extremely tight. So, we could not buy our usual, very expensive, foundation seed. Instead, Paul Mok went through …  

Pa Thom, Theodore Craig Olbrich, turned 76 on October 10th. Theodore was not his mother’s choice for his name but, it was God’s. His mother always told him it was a mistake; however, his first gift was a “Teddy Bear” and that meant that he was named after President Theodore Roosevelt, of the “Rough Riders” fame. Pa Thom hates big celebrations in his honor and so he swore the two guys in the office who knew about his birthday into strict secrecy.  Pa Thom had a plan. Theodore means, “Gift of God”; Craig means, “Rock”. When Theodore’s get an idea in their heads, it is …  

With 3,000 mouths to be fed three times per day, you can’t just take a few weeks off when the funds run short. FCOP often sees the brochures of those ministries that claim they feed children. That’s easy! Show up when they have some food, sponsor a meal, take some pictures, and claim bragging rights. The problem is, it works great as a fundraiser, and most donors don’t think about the difference between a ministry like that and feeding 3,000 people, 3 times per day, 365 days per year. One thing all Cambodian’s agree on is that a meal means …
