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 …  

Ziona Chana from India had 39 wives and up to 94 children, making him the head of arguably the world’s largest family. Not true! Pa Thom has one wife and 25,000+ children in Cambodia! On Sunday, June 19th, “Father’s Day”, one of the young dancers in her beautiful dress ran up and pushed the below envelope into my hand. I don’t even know who to thank! In a way, it was from all of them!  The handmade envelope and dried, pressed, flowers shows the heartfelt effort that went into this. Then, they did a special dance. “Thanks!”- this says it …  

It was gratifying to see the FCOP Churches function as was discussed at the FCOP Annual Meeting. The kids FCOP 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. A new first occurred under their watch, what I would call a, “spiritual abduction”. A 27 year old man disappeared from his home in the middle of the night with no explanation.  His family, members of the Siem Reap Church, were living on land that …  

From the day we landed in Cambodia back in 1998, our goal and mission has remained the same; to establish and expand the Kingdom of God in Cambodia. Since that time, Mak Sou and I haven’t stopped living in the Book of Acts. All throughout the country, FCOP churches are seeing signs, wonders and miracles, the oppressed set free, and lives forever changed.  While Mak Sou and I might not be out in the villages as much as we used to, the leaders we’ve trained, discipled, and released are being highly effective and we get the benefit of seeing the …  

Why did Jesus come to the earth? Most Christians would immediately respond, “To save our souls”! But, I submit that it is a major part of a bigger package. Jesus Himself proclaimed in Luke 19:10 “for the Son of man has come to seek and save that which was lost.” And, John sums this up in 1 John 3:8b, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” Obviously, more was lost in the Garden of Eden than our souls. FCOP pastors and church members have cast out thousands of demons …  

Most of the young people on our FCOP staff were too young to remember the PolPot regime, however the effects of that time remain tangible today. In the 1970s, 80s, and even early 90s, the Cambodian people learned to live off of the land and became the ultimate survivalists. As the central government was dismantled, the people learned to eat anything and everything; oftentimes making tools from very unlikely sources. Since protein is essential to one’s survival and a balanced diet, Cambodians have learned to consume protein from every possible source. It’s not uncommon, even in the capital of Cambodia, Phnom …  

Mak Sou went to speak at a Women’s Pastors Meeting hosted by Supervisor Savang who was under severe demonic attack after cleansing a demon infested church in January. Her left lung was clouded in the x-ray and doctors didn’t know what it was. It looked like it had been burned. The doctors did not think it was cancer or TB, but the devil definitely hates her. Her left side had gone numb. Now, thanks to your prayers, she is fully recovered and about 150 key women leaders attended the event she hosted in Siem Reap. The women were from Siem …  

The supply chain difficulties are worldwide. FCOP can no longer afford the cost of importing containers of food. We are raising our own. Jesus recognized the need to feed the physical man. (Matthew 15:32) We love it when He stretches our supplies but we also understand that we must raise our own food. As is well documented, our efforts to develop our rice farm require an incredible amount of effort. I have never seen a human being (rice farm manager, Paul Mok) work so hard for so little. He has built thirty-five kilometers of dikes and canals two meters high …
