As many of you know our journey over the last threeone degree or another. It all began after we read a book, written in 1977 called "Anointed For Burial". Brenda and I read this book in 1981. We were living in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada when a friend of mine hpreparing to move from Calgary to Edmonton.

I read the book first and had severalleapt off of the pages they penetrated the very depth of my heart. It was shortly aftethis that Brenda read the book as well.

know our journey over the last three decades has included Cambodia to one degree or another. It all began after we read a book, written in 1977 called "Anointed For Burial". Brenda and I read this book in 1981. We were living in the city

Canada when a friend of mine handed me this book as we were preparing to move from Calgary to Edmonton.

Edmonton, Alberta. It was the summer of 1981.

Through a course of events the Lord began setting Brenda and me up for "the nations".

Beyond what is shared above I would like to elaborate more on this book and what God revealed to us as we read the book. There were many challenges to the heart but we also felt as though the Lord spoke to us directly as we read this book. Some of

the things we felt like He spoke to us were:

• We would meet the people in the book. This has happened, up to and including, having Todd Burke come and commission a School I was leading connected to Spruce Grove Community Church. We were preparing to go to Holland for six months

• We were to also meet some of the Cambodians in the book. This has happened. It took almost ten years from meeting Todd before I would be on Cambodian soil and meet for the first time someone who was in the book. His name was Sophal Ung. I have had relationship with Sophal since 1996.

• We felt like God spoke to us about the nations and specifically about Cambodia. I have been to Cambodia at least sixteen times and I am in the process of planning another trip in the very

• We felt like God spoke specifically about our calling as well while we read the book, not just to the nations, but more specifically about who we are as far as His giftings in us to the body of Christ. We've been growing in these giftings and callings all along the way of this phenomenal journey!

• We believe some of things God spoke to us as we read the book are for such a time as this.

There were many other things we felt like the Lord spoke to us but suffice it to say in looking back it is very clear He spoke to us. We were living in Canada in the days before computer and the internet and we were able to track down and connect with the author of the book and then some years later were able to connect with a dear Cambodian, Sophal Ung. Clearlstory that has more chapters to be written about Cambodia.

Since our return to Colorado we have been sovereignly connected to someone else who is connected to Cambodia. He lives East of name is Adam (Sonny) Weimer. Sonny was sovereignly connected to a missionary to Cambodia named Ted Olbrich. In Ted's group there are still those alive that are in the book, Anointed For Burial, so we know there is stithe life and journey of Errol and Brenda that has to do with Cambodia. This organization is experiencing a phenomenal outpouring of the Spirit as we "speak" and has been going on for some years now. (www.fcopi.org)

We felt like God spoke to us about the nations and specifically about Cambodia. I have been to Cambodia at least sixteen times and I am in the process of planning another trip in the very near future.

214,823 Cambodians coming into relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

I am planning to go there in January to begin gathering preliminary data about this phenomenal outpouring so that the Cambodian story can be told. All glory to Jesus! I would like to write it in a "sequel" format to Anointed For Burial. There are always those who have gone on before us that have paved the way to see incredible harvest fields open up. The sequel would be honoring those who have gone on before us. We in turn believe it is so important to tell the story of what God has done and is doing since the book Anointed For Burial was written over thirty years ago!

As mentioned above there is an organization called FCOPI. This organization is very connected with Sonny Weimer and a 501(c)(3) that Sonny is president of called Covenant Frontline International. All of the giving from the US for FCOPI runs through Covenant Frontline International. Sonny is the president of FCOPI's board and I operate in an advisory

We are walking together in a growing covenant relationship understanding the depth of what it means to walk together in the Spirit to accomplish more for the sake of His great name, the name of Jesus!

In a few short years the Lord has quickened a relationship with Sonny that has been nothing short of supernatural. We believe it is for such a time as this in regard to Cambodia but we also believe it is for such a time as this for the US and more specifically Northeastern CO and WY, especially Cheyenne. Beyond these specific places we also believe it has to do with the global harvest! That is where FCOPI comes in as we made recent changes to what used to be known as just FCOP. The

I would like to close this sharing of our hearts with some things that happened in 1995. This is another excerpt from something I wrote to prepare a church, Heights

Vineyard, for Cambodia.

There are two things that are very important to Brenda and I and all those we will be involved with:

1. We will need more prayer covering than we have ever needed before as we believe that this is it. This is Cambodia and life in general are about to culminate in this next adventure.

2. We will need financial support to accomplish this task at hand. There is no one involved with Covenant Frontline International or FCOPI that receives a salary. Everyone raises their own support.
