We had the awesome opportunity to visit the F.C.O.P. International Training Center and Church last weekend. What an amazing work they are doing there to train individual to succeed in life along with their 108 church orphanages serving 3000 children and widows. We were given a tour of their training facilities and Don got to check out their restored tractors factory, which he loved. Young men are being trained on repairing old tractors that are shipped from the states. When restored they are sold at affordable prices to poor farmers.
We also viewed the factory women's dorm. Economic stress along with the absence of family support for women who travel here from the countryside looking for work, are open doors for traffickers which make these women vulnerable for recruitment into the sex trade. The dorm becomes a safe place for them and gives them the opportunity to hear the gospel.

These are but a few of the many training opportunities offered including a fully equipped sewing room, and computer room. We were blessed to visit their church, tour the facilities and talk to staff. We also visited and went to lunch with Pastor Olbrich and his wife Sou, founders of this 14 year old ministry.
It was a great day, meeting new friends and getting more insight on ministry in Cambodia.
