No one knows the value of a road until they are broken. When I was a young “volunteer” in rural Laos in1968, my mandate was “Teach them how to grow two crops of rice instead of one”. I soon learned that growing the rice was the easy part. What to do with it after you’d grown it was the real problem. You can only eat so much rice.  Roads are step one. Step two, “Market Access” is more difficult. Rice is consumed all over the world. That’s why free trade is so important! I’m ready for step two.  

I learned something from my Cambodian son, Thany. Jesus suffered because of the love His Father had for Him! It was the Father’s love for Him that led Him to the cross. Can you believe that? (John 10:17-18). Thany, the boy who 22 years ago, was naked on all fours lapping water out of a scum covered pond, preached the best sermon about communion and destroying the devil’s works that I have ever heard. It was the fact that the Father loved Jesus so much that He allowed Him to lay down His life for us that shook me. This time …  

Since 1998, our goal and mission has remained the same; to establish and expand the Kingdom of God in Cambodia. All throughout the country, FCOP churches are seeing signs, wonders and miracles, the oppressed set free, and lives forever changed.  The Cambodian Foursquare Church has seen entire regions, where great percentages of the population have come to know Christ, through the demonstration of God’s power in signs wonders and miracles. FCOP pastors are often walking on foot through jungles, ferrying motorcycles over flooded rivers and washed out roads, and even sleeping in open fields just to share the Gospel with …  

The kids FCOP has raised are now the leaders of the movement, and without any foreign presence in Cambodia, managed to navigate through some turbulent times and carry on the work they do best… seeing Cambodia come to Christ.  Seim Reap is a region under powerful territorial spirits. The church went to pray for a 27 year old man who had disappeared from his home in the middle of the night. A spiritual entity had lead him to the foot of Byon Temple in Angkor Wat. After prayer, he was totally normal. In addition to this, multiple healings have taken place …  

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 …
