It’s harvest time in CAMBODIA!  Not only a harvest of souls, but also a harvest of rice!  Foursquare Children of Promise owns 31 hectors (equivalent to about 70 acres) of land up north in the Banteay Meanchey province.  Three months ago the land was plowed with an ox drawn plow and the rice planted. 

Last month, fifty F.C.O.P. personnel (pastors, wives, and older orphan boys) went up to Balang and hand harvested the rice.  It took them two weeks to glean the 31 hectors.  Setting up tents to form a small camp, they worked from early sunrise to dusk, taking a break at noon in the heat of the day.

Every evening they held a time of devotions.  After the last stalk of rice had been cut they offered up thanks to God and asked for His continual blessing upon their crops.
