FCOP's 112th Church Building
With thousands of home churches and cell groups throughout the nation, FCOP was excited to officially dedicate its 112th church building in Cambodia. This church is the first house of worship in the entire village; there isn’t even a Buddhist temple. This church congregation began as a Bible study for employees of a small shop at a local market managed by Chaya, one of the orphans FCOP had raised. Over several months, the church plant that was meeting in the shop became too large to meet there any longer averaging almost 100 people each Sunday. Pastor Chaya has been traveling through this village for several years sharing the Gospel with anyone who would listen. After a great deal of prayer and the generosity of donors, FCOP was able to begin constructing a church building.
The dedication ceremony was a time of worship and celebration to God for His faithfulness and grew to over 200 people in attendance. We know that this church will be a light in a dark place. The verse that was spoken over the church was Isaiah 52:7 “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns.” May the church in Siem Reap continue to be a witness to their village of the power of Christ through signs, wonders, and miracles.
