FROM THE FOUNDERSTed & Sou OlbrichSomething unique in recent history has happened in the nation of Cambodia. I know of no other country where an actual “Book of Acts” phenomenon has occurred. It was not an accident; it was a set-up by God. Cambodia was virtually devoid of a Christian presence after the Pol Pot genocide of the 1970’s and subsequent communist rule of the 1980’s. Literature had been destroyed, and the educated and clerical population largely exterminated. Cambodia was a spiritual vacuum.

When Sou and I came to Cambodia in 1998, we told God that we were going to allow Him to save Cambodia His way. God showed us that the Cambodians were triune; they needed help spiritually, socially, and economically. What has happened is beyond most theological belief systems. Illiterate and poorly educated pastors, led by the Holy Spirit, have raised the dead, healed the sick, and worked many miracles. All of this was centered around FCOP using a staff of primarily destitute widows, led by a local pastor, to raise in excess of 20,000 orphaned and separated children. Many of these young people are now adults serving in every capacity of life in the country.

Separated and orphaned children are the focal point of human trafficking in Cambodia. Through a network of 106 church homes in every province of the nation, FCOP has rescued and protected these vulnerable children from a life of being trafficked for slavery and worse.

This has been a labor of love that has involved educating each child, often training them in a profession. Typically, training happens through one of the many micro-enterprise projects that FCOP has established.

We are not finished yet. We must have partners willing to face the challenge of being there for the separated and abandoned children as we see a nation come to Christ through the church this movement has birthed. In short, we need your help.

ABOUT

WHO WE AREFCOP International is a church planting movement that cares for widows, orphans, and sepa-rated children in need. “We will show you our faith by what we do.” James 2:18

WHAT WE DOWe establish healthy local churches that care for widows, orphans and separated chil-dren, create sustainable micro enterprise programs and pro-mote healthy family values all over Cambodia. We also aim to prevent human trafficking, slavery and the breaking up of families.

WHY WE DO ITThese churches help bring spir-itual revival, social restoration and economic renewal.

HISTORYIn 1999, FCOP was founded as Cambodia began to take it’s first steps towards recovery, following nearly 30 years of war, genocide and occupation.With land mines, rampant dis-ease and lack of healthcare, Cambodia was faced with a staggering number of orphans and separated children.

Beginning in 1999, FCOP has established 106 Church Com-munity Centers that have cared for over 20,000 widows, orphans and separated children.

From one church in 1998, FCOP has grown to a network of thou-sands of small group churches in every province of Cambodia.FCOP’s name orginated from the two greatest initial donors, Foursquare and Children of Promise.

Long Khit was born in Kampong Thom province of Cambodia. His family was so poor they used a simple straw mat hung over a tree as protection from the elements. Before he came to know Jesus he was recruited as a Khmer Rouge soldier. The tormenting spirits he encountered caused him to hate and use alcohol. He used to climb palm trees to retrieve palm juice in order to make wine. He became drunk one day and determined to go and kill the man that had murdered his father. It was on that day Long Khit fell from a tree and nearly died but, in that moment, had an encounter with a God he did not know. In 1999, Long Khit received Jesus as Lord when Pa Thom and Mak Sou (Ted and Sou) came to the province. He released his hatred for those responsible for his fathers death and embraced compassion. He was baptized in a local river and began to serve in the church and eventually became a pastor. He was trained at the Bible School and then released to go and train others. He trained many disciples that were then sent up to the northern parts of the country to evangelize. It was during this time that he became a district supervisor of the Cambodian

Foursquare Church. He moved from Kampong Thom to Kampong Chnang province where he planted fruitful churches that continue to grow. Out of his overwhelming compassion, he and his wife adopted several orphans and raised them as their own. He went on to become the Vice President of the Cambodian Foursquare Church. On April 11th, 2018, Pastor Long Khit was riding his motorbike about four feet off the highway, returning from morning coffee, when he was suddenly struck by a black Mitsubishi SUV. Eye witnesses say that after the initial impact, the driver of the SUV got out of their vehicle, unhook the locked bike and then ran over Long Khit. Witnesses documented the license plate number but the police were unable to locate the driver, as the license plates were stolen. Long Khit was the pastor who prayed with late apostle El Sim when her daughter was raised from the dead ten years ago (El Sim’s daughter, Ruthie, had died in a hospital about 15

kilometers from where Long Khit was killed). Apostle El Sim was murdered by her husband in June 2017, not more than 30 kilometers from where Long Khit was killed. As only God could do it, Pa Thom (Ted) received a call from Prophet Bill Norton, who was not aware of the situation, urging us to set up prayer teams to war against the Spirit of Death. The mysterious events of Long Khit’s death were felt throughout the Cambodian Foursquare Church. Under his leadership, he helped facilitate church multiplication and training local pastors. Many have learned and will continue to learn from his life of integrity and steadfastness. He was a peacemaker and had a heart full of compassion and grace. Long Khit’s life was a testament to what happens when one encounters the power of God. The church keeps moving forward because he left a legacy. The Holy Spirit continues to move and we will continue the work he helped start.

HOW FCOP RECEIVES AND DISTRIBUTES FUNDSProgram Expense by Category 2018Gross Receipts by Category 2018

CHURCH COMMUNITY CENTER SPONSORSHIPDonors from around the world help provide the food and daily care of the orphans. Each church community center is also actively involved in local economic activities to supplement this support and work toward becoming self-sustaining. In 1999, FCOP set a home sponsorship cost of $1,500 per month and has never had to change that amount.

FCOP has been working to raise more and more local support through the churches and micro-enterprises each year. That said, not all of our homes are fully sponsored and the number of children within a home can be fluid. So, to ensure that no child is ever left without care, as in a family, everyone shares in supporting one another. The actual average monthly cost of raising an individual orphan is shown to the right.

FCOP believes that every individual has spiritual, social, and economic needs. FCOP seeks to address each of these needs through partnership with a diverse group of organizations.

SOCIAL

SPIRITUAL

ECONOMIC

Socially, the gospel will be demonstrated by teaching family values, strengthening existing family structures, integrating traditional culture, and providing training and education according to Christian principles. In 1999 the greatest social need in Cambodia was to rescue and care for homeless orphans and separated children. The church has been proactive by feeding, housing, loving and training orphans; building facilities and assisting desti-tute widows. During the intervening years FCOP has raised and care for over 20,000 orphans and widows.

Spiritually, this will be accomplished by evangelizing and training the people in Christian truth and by equipping “called” spiritual leaders to plant new churches. Since 1999, more than 6,000 churches have been established.Partnering with the Cambodian Foursquare Gospel Church, FCOP seeks to meet the spiritual needs of the orphans and people of Cambodia through evangelism, discipleship and leadership training.

Economically, the Gospel will be demonstrated to those with challenges meeting their daily needs. By developing micro-enterprise models and part-nering with development organizations, FCOP seeks to offer immediate as-sistance to the destitute by providing food, water, clothing, housing, medical treatment and culturally relevant job training for individuals.

PASTORAL TRAINING &CONFERENCESThe amazing growth of the Foursquare Church in Cambodia has created a great need for pastoral training. These churches have responded to this challenge by estab-lishing a comprehensive training program that is ongoing. Leadership and youth conferences bring church leaders togeth-er 2-3 times per year in various locations where they are trained and equipped for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:12).

PROCLAIMERS (Faith Comes By Hearing)With illiteracy issues still prevelant, many Cambodians, especially the older gen-eration, are audible learners. The “Pro-claimer” dramatized audio Bible is used in many locations around the country. The unit is solar powered, but may also be run by a power cord or batteries. It is also used by pastors during church gatherings to help with those unable to read.

CHURCH PLANTING & EVANGELISMWith FCOP everything begins with, stays with and ultimately ends with the church. The Foursquare church has become the largest Christian denomination in the country by leading people to Christ through a personal relationship with someone who cares about them. From one church in 1999, FCOP continues to see hundreds of house churches started each year.

SPIRITUAL Since 1999, more than 6,000 churches and home groups have been established.

SALVATIONS, BAPTISMS,MIRACLES“Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven...and they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.” FCOP emphasizes spirit-led ministry which con-tinues to bring salvations, baptisms and miracles as experienced in the book of Acts.

CHRISTMAS/EASTER OUTREACHChristmas has become more popular with Cambodians which has caused curiousity, resulting in thousands coming to seek out the reason for why Jesus Christ was born. Every year, Christmas turns out to be our most fruitful evangelistic period. Easter Sunday, also celebrated in FCOP church-es, has become one of our most prominent evangelistic events each year, with thou-sands coming to believe in Jesus Christ.

HEALTH AND HYGIENEFCOP is committed to caring for orphans, separated children, widows, the poor and those in crisis situations. Partnering with various organizations, we are able to care for the kids in our homes and effectively provide for those in need without taking from the local economy.

WOMEN’S FACTORY DORMITORYDesiring to offer a safe alternative for factory workers (especially young women), FCOP has constucted a dorm at the National Training Center. This dorm provides young adults working in this trade a safe and inexpensive housing option and gives them the opportunity to hear the Good News.

NATIONAL TRAINING CENTERThe National Training Center is a miracle in itself, built by an anonymous donation of $600,000 USD. Areas of study include pastoral, caregiving, medical, computer, English, and cultural arts, just to list a few. The center is also home to FCOP’s medical clinic.

CHURCH COMMUNITY CENTERSThe Church Community Center has been the cornerstone of FCOP ministry. FCOP has never started an orphan home, it always began with the local church. Over 20 years, 106 Church Community Centers and 20,000 lives later, FCOP churches all over Cambodia continue to be a practical demonstration of God’s love, taking care of widows, orphans and separated children.

SOCIAL FCOP Cambodia has raised over 20,000 widows, orphans and separated children.

MEDICAL/DENTAL CAREFCOP has a full time pediatrician, nurse and dentist to help care for the needs of children and staff in our Church Com-munity Centers. FCOP regularly visits local communities around churches and runs a permanent clinic at the Na-tional Training Center. Medical outreaches are coordinated with international medical providers to bring help to those around Cambodia without access to basic medical care.

ADVANCED EDUCATIONAfter completing highschool, FCOP does everything it can to secure scholarships, university education and technical training programs to give every adult the opportunity for a future. FCOP has helped produce doctors, nurses, lawyers,accountants, pastors, mechanics, artists, farmers and many other skilled professionals.

WELLS AND WATER FILTERSTo address the constant need of clean water, FCOP in co-operation with other organizations, is drilling wells and installing filters to care for orphans, widows and local com-munities around our churches.

FCOP seeks to offer immediate assistance to the destitute by providing food, water, clothing, hous-ing, medical treatment and culturally relevant job training for individuals

APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMSApprenticeship provides training for children who are going into skill-based professions that require training. These fields include furniture manufacturing, hospitality and cooking, metal work, welding, automotive mechanics, heavy equipment mechanics, agricultural production, swine, fish and poul-try farming.

CONSTRUCTION TEAMSConstruction teams provide an opportunity for churches and groups from around the world to support and connect with the Church Com-munity Centers in Cambodia. These teams do projects such as painting, installing septic systems, building cafeterias and fences. These projects assist with the maintenance and im-provement of the already existing Church Community Centers.

AGRICULTURE TRAININGAs the majority of Cambodian adults earn a living farming rice and with farming practices making minimal strides over the last hundred years, FCOP plans to train 20 young rice ex-tension agents to carry modern farming tech-nology to the farmers of Cambodia. Facilities for training and housing 30 to 40 staff have been constructed. Once learned, this skill can take average rice production per year from 2.5 metric tons per hectare to as much as 30 tons. That’s a 12 fold increase!t

MICRO-ENTERPRISE PROJECTSProjects and small businesses aimed at both supplement-ing the needs of Church Community Centers, as well as, producing income are common practice throughout Cam-bodia. These micro-enterprise projects include car washes, English language schools, sewing shops, pigs, beef, fish, poultry, cricket and mushroom farming, music equipment rental, vehicle rentals, among others.

• Vegetable Gardens• Fish Farming• Poultry Production• Rice Seed Production

A D D I T I O N A L ECONOMICP R O J E C T S

RICE PRODUCTION ENTERPRISEWith costs of childcare soaring and donation levels remaining flat, there has been an urgent need to develop an income producing enterprise which will fully support the activities of FCOP. In 2002, FCOP introduced a pioneer model of rice production, which has proven the practicality of such a plan. In 2017 FCOP received a matching grant for the development of the Cambodian Rice Production Enterprise. In 2018 FCOP raised the $750,000 to meet a grant for a total of US$1.5M. The development plan covers a three-year period and will eventually replace major dependency on outside financial support.
