Rice Mill in Cambodia

2008-01-14T12:00:00.000-08:00

A blessing from God!

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

2007-11-03T19:48:00.000-07:00

Alex and Marissa Coriel

We are called to the abused and abandoned street children of the Philippines:

To feed them and take care of them and to restore to them what the enemy has stolen.
To remove them from their environment that is only leading to drugs, prostitution, and theft for survival.
To be vessels that bring emotional healing and salvation.
To give them an education so that they can have hope for a better future.

We have moved to the Philippines to live as full time, self supported missionaries. We are volunteering with an already established children’s home called Arms of Love.

Isaiah 61 is our mission statement. We want God to use us to "bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives”. We want to be used by God to “Bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness in stead of mourning, and a garment of praise in stead of a spirit of despair.”

Alex has a gift for filming and editing video. He wants to use this gift to make the huge need for missions and the support of missionaries known to the church in America and around the world. He hopes to someday document different needs and produce short films to make these needs known.

Thank you for praying for us!

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."

Hopi Summer Trip '07

2007-08-03T15:44:00.000-07:00

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

2007-08-03T15:41:00.000-07:00

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!
