Funeral Canceled

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 Anlong Veng. The problem with the funeral is Som Art decided to pray. Was she really dead or just in a coma? Why would God raise up an elderly pastor who had gone to her well-deserved reward? The truth is we will never know if she was truly dead; but we do know why God did it. The answer?… To save a dying church.
