Our trip to America was to attend Foursquare’s Centennial Connection in Anaheim, CA. Mak Sou (Pastor Sou), Pow Naret, Pastor Som Art, Kong Rolina, Run Thany, Net Khemara, Heang Makara learned many things during our time.  We learned that the US Foursquare Church really respects their time schedule, are well organized, have good infrastructure, their technology is amazing, and we are speechless. We’ve experienced weather that is cold compared to what we are used to.  We’ve been reconnected with our church friends and welcome them back to Cambodia to partner with us.  All the speakers during the conference have been …  

What difference can a good hair washing make? It can be a tangible representation of God’s love and care to some of the poorest of the poor. We saw a practical demonstration of this at the Steung Siem Reap Church in Siem Reap province. Pastor Chhaiiya and his church members saw a need within their community and he went outside of the four walls of the church to serve the young people in the village around them. This is the type of selfless service that Jesus talked about when he said that we are to think of others more than …  

Christmas celebrations actually began in late November and will continue throughout January. It’s the major holiday for the Cambodian Church and since December 25th is not an official recognized holiday, the season gets stretched, especially since ‘Orthodox Christmas’ isn’t celebrated until January 7th. FCOP church leaders like to attend their neighboring congregations services, therefore, they match their celebration dates so they don’t overlap. In this case, pictures are better than words!  

FCOP was very happy to welcome Jerry Stott and Paul Vernon (our Foursquare Church supervisors for this region) for a short visit in December. We were able to meet as a Cambodian board with them, show them around our Training Center and offices, and share our desires for the future with them. It was very encouraging to see their active support for the FCOP vision for this nation. Paul had great visits with Shanon Hladek and Bob and Christal Hollandsworth. Jerry and Pa Thom (me) got to share extensively on the topic of deliverance and demonic oppression. This is a …  

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 …  

When the devil gives you lemons, ask the Holy Spirit for a lemonade recipe! Churches are still officially on lock-down. The result was predicted to be disastrous. But, the reality has been the scattering of the faithful who open new meetings in their homes and are broadcasting their messages via social media from multiple churches each Sunday-they are reaching thousands of people. The truth of Romans 8:28, “All things work together for good” is only true in context with verses 26 & 27 which tell us that when we pray in the Holy Spirit, God will take the devil’s meanest attacks and …  

Mak Sou is a prophet and back in the mid-1980’s she prophesied that, “One day I will preach at Yoido Full Gospel Church” (at that time the largest church in the world pastored by Paul Yungi Cho).Dr. Ted Vail, Vice President of Global Operations of the Foursquare Church in America, invited Mak Sou to be a part of an interview panel at the World Missions Forum in conjunction with the World Pentecostal Conference held in Seoul, South Korea at Yoido Full Gospel Church. This was a time for Pentecostal leaders from various denominations to gather and discuss world missions and how we can bring ‘The Gospel to Everyone, …  

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. Her grave was dug, the casket was purchased, and FCOP’s General Supervisor Som Art was summoned to perform the funeral. The problem with the funeral is Som Art decided to pray. 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.
