In 2022 places like Southwestern China, which have plagued Cambodia with huge floods in past years, are parched dry and places like India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos have seen record floods. Bangkok was flooded on multiple occasions and all the water was diverted towards Western Cambodia. FCOP prepared this year by adding 1 meter of compacted fill to our paddy dikes making them 3 meters tall (almost 10 feet). FCOP also built 10 large walk-through culverts along with many smaller round concrete culverts, paved more than 32 kilometers of seasonal road with 1/2 meter of laterite, in order to …  

Shanon has been active in her support of FCOP as she’s been busy sharing at churches throughout the USA, communicating with our amazing donors, assisting Mak Sou in her travels to speak in South Korea, as well as attending the Foursquare Northwest District Leadership Conference. In addition, she has also been receiving some necessary medical care and undergoing medication adjustments hoping to soon return to Cambodia in great condition. Shanon has been encouraged as she’s met with pastors, leaders, and people at various churches that have made a lasting impact on her. She wrote to Mak Sou and I saying, “We have …  

 Paul Mok stands in front of our new stainless steel ‘shaker box’. For 21 years we have been using, patching, and constantly repairing the same old worn-out rice mill. The beast has been slowly bleeding us out for a generation! It was so worn out when we got it, that the engine would not run. We figure it was built around 1980 with used components from Vietnam.  We bought it from the owner, who was dying of AIDS back in 2001, disassembled it, and moved it to Balang. Why? Because we were getting so cheated by the Chinese rice millers. …  

Of all the things I love to write about, nothing gives me more pleasure than to report on the dozens of new Church Home groups started each month. I know there are many we are missing and I apologize to those pastors! FCOP simply doesn’t have enough people and good enough cameras to capture all the great work they are doing in establishing the Kingdom of God in Cambodia by destroying the works of the Devil. We can report hundreds of salvations, healings, deliverances, baptisms in water and in the Holy Spirit. Honestly, we can’t even keep count of them all. Remember your sacrifice is not unnoticed in heaven! May God Bless You …  

Before Joshua could establish God’s kingdom in the Promised Land he had destroy the enemies strongholds. Battles easily won are shortly remembered. Perseverance can be hard to muster when you are constantly bombarded with the constant question: “When does the, ‘Good News’ arrive?” 2022 has been a year of challenge. First, no fertilizers, then, no pesticides and the diesel fuel doubles in price. Next, it rained during the end of the dry season and the rain stops in what should be the rainy season. Finally, the rivers run dry during the crucial reproductive stage of the rice plant, and we have to stop irrigation, then …  

In the Bible Jesus talks about counting the cost before you go to war. (Luke 14:28) But, some wars are forced upon you. Did you ever begin to restore a vehicle or remodel a house out of necessity, thinking all it needed was some minor repairs and a coat of paint, only to discover it was totally shot? You find yourself over your head! You have too much invested to quit, but not enough money left to complete it? Well, welcome to our “Rice Mill”! What began with just the replacement of a few bucket elevators and a new shaker box has …  

Sou and I spent the last half of May and the first half of June in the US and Shanon was there for all of June, but it was a trip of great victory for us! Sou and I would not have been able to go, but for the generosity of a great pastor and church who purchased our tickets. We left Cambodia in a tough position. We have no food products being imported to feed our 2,500 orphans and widows and our rice was planted but needed fertilizer which was five times more expensive than last year. We must …  

Seven large diesel pumps are running night and day, consuming $1,000USD of fuel every day. We must build the reservoir, but until we do, we are dependent upon the rivers. Unfortunately, the Chinese dams are still filling their reservoirs and water is not flowing. What started as a wet spring has turned into a dry summer and our rice is thirsty. So, we built three more large 16″ pumps. Pray for rain on our rice! Rains around Cambodia are very spotty this year, with some localities experiencing flooding and others drought. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we were …
