It may not have been as noisy in the natural realm, but the devil got his teeth jarred this Christmas! As you’ll see in a couple of paragraphs, he had it coming! We were experiencing continuous Christmas programs since the beginning of December and they are still continuing into January. We estimate that over 35,000 people made decisions for Christ. The biggest event was about 3500 young factory workers attending an evening service at Chom Chao, more than half received Christ! There is a lot of curiosity about Christmas here in Cambodia.

Where did the term “patience of Job” come from? It has to do with Job’s refusal to condemn God when Satan was allowed to destroy his family and his livestock. But, what if the livestock are trying to do the destroying? Remember the old song, “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth”?

To get to a greater level of financial sustainability, FCOP must purchase more land and dig reservoirs. And, we could certainly use your help! We are greatly thankful for all that you did for us in 2014! Most of the farmers in our area harvested little or nothing, they are deeply in debt to the banks, and the banks show no mercy. Banks only loan about 1/3 of what the farm is worth, but the farmers can’t pay the mortgage. The banks, wanting to cover their bad loans, take the land and sell it quick to someone with cash. That …
