Our Stories & Testimonies

 FCOP Primary Work

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 …  

Streamline

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 …  

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. 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 …  

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 event was graced by esteemed guest speakers: Pastor David Norton, Pastor Jim Carpenter, and Pastor Peter (from Arkansas). It was a momentous occasion, with nearly four hundred leaders from all corners of Cambodia in attendance. 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 …  

Church is Striving

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 …  

 Streamline

In our ongoing commitment to caring for the vulnerable, FCOP has undertaken strategic initiatives to streamline and enhance our orphan care programs. Dividing into four groups, we’re diligently overseeing our 108 church homes, facilitating the relocation of children who have joyfully reunited with their families. Furthermore, we’re celebrating the achievements of those over 18 who, after receiving skill training, are now equipped to secure employment outside the church homes. As we adapt to the evolving needs of our community, some young adults have chosen to continue their journey within the church, dedicating themselves to serving the Lord. This reflects the …  

Seeing The Unseen

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.  

Kids for 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 …  

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.  

Bringing The Word

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.
