Rice Mill in Cambodia

After visiting Cambodia for the first time few years ago, Jane and I felt the need to assist Ted & Sou and the Orphan Ministry in Cambodia with the purchase of land and a rice mill. Because of the generous giving of members of our church, Christian Life Center in Riverside, CA, that dream has now become reality and daily feeds rice to thousands of orphans. To God be the Glory!

Ministry to the Philippines

Dear Church family,

We (Alex and Marissa) arrived in the Philippines with our two boys, Jonathan and Josiah. We have dedicated these first months here to making sure our family is well adjusted and settled in to this new country we now call home.

The Lord has already been so faithful to us. He has answered our prayers for a family vehicle and a place to live. The apartment we found has everything we asked God for and more than we even expected! it's amazing how perfect it is for us.

The boys are so excited. This has shown us that God has gone before us and prepared the way for us in this place He's called us to be. Jonathan says "HI" to all his friends at CLC. He loves and misses you guys.

Keep us in your prayers as you are in ours. We love and miss you all!

Myanmar

An email from George Butron,

In 1988 student led protests failed and resulted in thousands of deaths. Now Buddhist led protests have again been crushed. Last week, while things were getting hot in Yangon and Mandalay, several key leaders from Myanmar were with us in Singapore for a regional meeting. The situation has obviously been very tense but none of our friends were involved in the protests or directly impacted by the military crackdown (other than having to stay home, lay low, not being able to shop, get basic supplies, missing work and having meetings cancelled). Phone lines and internet were cut for a while and the military raids and arrests continue after dark. The economy continues to spin down and the atmosphere of fear and uncertainly is high. Its going to be hard for Christians to gather in the aftermath of this but they will find ways to meet and carry on.

The good news is that there has been an amazing amount of prayer happening around the world for Myanmar. Spiritual breakthroughs don't get mentioned in the media but one is certainly underway. The body of Christ holds the key to unlock the spiritual bondage and bring genuine transformation in this nation.

Thanks for praying,

George Butron

A Foursquare Children of Promise in Cambodia, A Report From Ted Olbrich

"Christian Life Center, the Riverside CA Foursquare Church, which was instrumental in building our rice mill, and provides for the sponsorship of the Bak Roteh home in Pursat Province, as well as partial support for other homes and school uniforms, came on a good-will tour with members from Lake Elsinore Foursquare Church, CA, which sponsors the Bar Kan home in Pursat Province. They left a string of homes blessed with new uniforms, and numerous improvement projects, including a new fence at Prek Bey."

Future Trips

Hopi & Zuni Native American Tribes

We took a 25-member team to the Hopi Reservation (Arizona) and Zuni Pueblo (New Mexico) July 1 - 7. This was definitely the largest group we've taken from Riverside, CA and one of the most challenging & exciting trips ever :-)

HOPI - Our time on Hopi went by too fast. We did a small work project in Kykotsmovi that consisted of putting a new roof onto a building belonging to one of our friends, Lucinda Guss. Our men worked on that roof in 100+ degree weather! The rest of us visited our many friends.

ZUNI - In Zuni Pueblo we took part in the 9th Annual Zuni Youth Conference, sponsored by the Zuni Tribe, which culminated with our "Family Fun Night" event. The sessions we were responsible for were Gang Awareness and Anger Management. Over 100 kids attended the Conference. Members of our team assited the Shesche/Kucate family family in painting and repairing their Kiva, the place for all religious activities, the construction of a bread oven, an important item in the life of Zuni women.

We went home excited and are looking forward to going back next time. Again, thanks to everyone who provided, prayed and participated by going. We can't do this without faithful people like YOU!

Ministry in Bali, Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim nation and stretches between Southeast Asia and Australia. Bali, an island located off the eastern coast of Java, is approximately 97% Hindu mixed with animistic religion.

Mercy Indonesia (MI) is a multi-faceted ministry based in Bali, Indonesia and headed by Paulus & Marliesye Wiratno. MI is associated with Warm Blankets Orphan Care International, the same ministry Foursquare is in partnership with in Cambodia. The major aspects of MI are: the Church/Headquarters in Bali; the 16 Bible schools that train Pastors to start churches throughout Indonesia; the orphanages; and the radio stations that reach all of Indonesia, parts of Southeast Asia and Australia.

Jane and I ministered in the headquarter church in Denpasar, the capital city in the south, and then to one of the satellite churches with people from Sumba. During both services everyone was overwhelmed with God’s Power as Jane and I prayed! Several were delivered and healed!

We had the privilege of visiting the orphan homes in Denpasar and Singaraja on the northern coast and then minister to the Bible College. Again, as we prayed everyone was touched with the Presence of God!

MI operates several radio stations throughout Indonesia. For Pastor Paulus’ program I recorded a four-part series on our personal struggle with the murder of our daughter, Liz and Jane did a two-part series on her own testimony. That evening I shared from the Bible on live radio. The programs air throughout Indonesia, parts of Southeast Asia and Australia and are then sent to an Australian shortwave radio station to be beamed to various locations around the world.

We also gave $1,000 to purchase 250 portable radios given to church planters in remote areas. As they gather people, they listen to the programs, lead them to Christ and begin a new church!
